Well, my ultimate goal is to be a freelance developer focusing on anything ecommerce: things such as WordPress, Magento, WooCommerce, other things like that and I am still fairly new at it, and I do lyft to make money right now, so what I am also doing is focusing on learning the skills to land me a web developer entry level position because regardless, if I become a successful freelance developer or not, I have to work to make money but lyft offers no earning potential in terms of increasing my value, so my entire focus is on web development specifically(HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL), but on the side to get experience I was going to practice more on Shopify, and I know, most developers dont make that 275k/year and if they do they have much experience in development, I do not. Honestly, I think about 6 months to learn, but I don't think by any means profitable because I also have to learn outreaching, marketing, connecting to the right groups, so I am still in the early stages. I just want experience in freelancing(i.e., handling objects, making mistakes, if it is a good business venture or not). Well I know ever since the beginning of COVID, a lot of businesses that did not have an active online presence have to start if they want to survive, so that is what I based it off of. Any suggestions you may have for me, I am open to, maybe you know something I do not. Also, I do not have everything figured out, so this might change as I actually get some exposure to what I am doing. I am still learning. Thank you for your time.Have you done the work to make sure this is still the case? I don't know that much about the field but in terms of app development people tell me that much like all stores now (ios/play) there are the top 10% that make the lionshare of the profit and everyone else makes peanuts because of the sheer amount of duplicate and free apps on the platform now.
From my understanding its a volume game and you need thousands of apps.
I know that the shopify-dev page says the 'earning-potential' is 275K a year but what's the potential you can earn that?
And also - how long will it take to get the skills to do it?
