I stopped working with Nigerian Projects, the day I found myself shouting and cursing at the project owner. The lady just had an ego and hated Andela devs, I tried to tell her why the approach we were taking was wrong, this lady shut me down, until 3 weeks into development, the devs confirmed what I raised and it meant a rewrite and the lady said I should have convinced her properly. Omo I refunded their money and the sad part is it was 150k, then my salary was 10 times more, I just took it because I wanted to pay bills.

Foreign projects they listen to you and respect your opinions.

You earned 1.5m monthly and still needed 150k to pay bills??

DoggoneDogg:

Yes, I have alot of foreign bills, such as hosting, cloud servers and alot of subscriptions for my company plus people are dependent on me too

It depends on the features and estimated duration of the project. Any project less than 50k won't do much for me so, I tend to avoid them atimes. One thing I've learnt is that you need to be very patient working for Nigerians, as much as there are lots of bad people, some of them are kind enough to listen and even give tips, one client even sent me christmas gift after paying me.

And the 150k settled them. Lol

For non company projects. I have charged like 300 USD for a simple JavaScript carousel which had like ten lines of code. I however charged someone in Nigeria like 800k to build a WordPress theme. Only 150k was paid and I kuku locked the site. They no send till today. That was the end for me and working for Nigerians.

Same thing happened to me. I charged someone ₦1M for a travel site. He paid only 400k and kept giving excuses

Yeah, I too have had a few sad stories involving Nigerian clients(and Indians as well), although it wasn't web development. I try to avoid them these days.

I started as a website designer in 2012 I used to charged 80k on the average.

I was never out of job cos I have my posters everywhere in the city of Abuja and my SEO was top notch.

The highest I ever charged was 200k, only 150k was paid.

The last website I did was around 2017. Ordinary static website could take up to 6month.

Also some newbies decided to spoil the market and were offering wedsites for 30k. So when you tell someone to pay 120k and they tell you it is cheaper with someone else, I simply tell them, please work with that person.

I'm into some other business now and I'm doing fine.

Switch to remote clients, you will get better pay

1.5 then sef not anymore it's higher, remote jobs pay better coupled with the fact one can do side gigs

I once lost a project of ₦17M because in Nigerian.
These yahoo boys give us a bad rep.
Nowadays, I'm shifting to online businesses. I have a SAAS that people subscribe for and I'm currently building another

Agbelid:
I won't answer this question directly but indirectly by typing alot of information. It is a short article I'm currently writing for my blog

Websites are typically informational in nature. They are basically collection of web pages which can be assessed in a browser. You're supposed to just read and look at everything that's on a website, and that's the majority of your experience as a user. your goal is to learn something and to absorb the information. Technically, you could have just as easily read that same information in a book. You just happened to find it on a website, probably due to personal convenience. Example of sites are blogs, landing pages, portfolio sites, company sites

Creating a website is so easy these days anyone could learn it to do it in 15 mins. This is NOT a skill to that will not put alot of cash in you pocket.

Creating a website today just doesn't require a high degree of technical skill compared to creating a web applications and web services.

A lot of ppl not in tech have heard the term 'Web developers' a trillion times, then subconsciously thinks they are everywhere, hence not a valuable skill. Web developers don't just create websites. They create web applications and web services, really good Web developers are exceptionally rare and they easily earn millions.

Now it is time for me to explain Web Applications and Web services

Web applications are defined by being interactive. You're supposed to use a web application in order to perform a function and use some of the web applications features. Lots of web applications don't even have real informative content or data exactly. People are just supposed to use them in order to perform additional tasks, using their features to accomplish something. E.g online banking, e-commerce, portal e.t.c thousands of web apps exist today that have positively impacted businesses. Mastering this skill will put a lot of cash in your pocket

Web services are used by two or more web applications to interact with each other. All web services are API. Short for Application Programming Interface. Lot more harder to explain newbies, so I'll use this analogy.

Let's say you are hungry and need something to eat, you could go to the market, buy the required items and cook yourself. But you will have to do alot of work to accomplish this. Or you could go to a restaurant where you just need to sit down. You will not be allowed to enter the Chefs area. The waiters are there to serve you. API are like waiters in a traditional restaurant in the sense that they are software lntermediaries that allow two web apps talk to each other. Popular examples are the buttons that allow you sign up with a single click using Google or Facebook. Those are APIs.

If you can build web applications and web services, you are truly a software developer and there will be at least 100million new jobs for software developers btw now and 2026

A Master web developer is extremely hard to come by, they have other skills which cut across several fields such as DevOps, ML, Testing, Security. A single project can require all these skills. Master Developers also have plenty yrs of experience which makes them extremely valuable. These ones make over 60m in a year without breaking a sweat.

A friend told me his friend made over $400,000(over 220 million) in 2021 working remotely for various forms and also freelancing works.

Over $400,000 in one year? That's huge

qtguru:

I couldn't keep up with new innovations in web development so I left for other business.

I have no background in Web development, only interest and I attended a 6 weeks training.

DoggoneDogg:

That's the nature of freelance. There will be active and slow times, just like any business. Having (many)good clients is what every freelancer hopes for, although one must avoid having too many.

airsaylongcome:
Is this employment or freelance?

Fees for Web applications can vary widely depending on what needs to be built. A core banking solution for example will cost way more than a hotel booking solution (even though you can get both for free on the Internet).

How much do you charge and you are blowing grammar. That's how people fail exams and start blaming village people and lecturers for it.

SEXONLY:
Broda can you guide me to become a web developer too?

use w3schools
Freecodecamp
They are all free

Vondata:
To be sincere, web development is becoming stale....so much competition there....
With a domain and Hosting, I earn too little because there r others who will even pay less.
5k is within the gain range after deducting domain and hosting

Yes plus Page Builders and AI that can build web

The cash is in specific domain knowledge tensazangetsu20 is the best person to explain it best, because people tend to doubt it when i state it.

It's not the knowledge it's building value with the knowledge you have. Alot of companies have platforms that need engineers to work on, Moodle alone fetched me money if not the development experience is gruesome and complex. There are tons of platforms to dive into. Web Hosting is old skool
