I am thinking of doing freelance web development and I’m currently building my portfolio for it. However, I don’t have any degree at all and I live in an expensive country. My friend however says that I still might have a chance if I make good quality stuff. Right now I’m even working on creating a video platform website similar to YouTube (with it being fully functional) just to impress potential customers.
Would that work?
Work on open source projects, especially those that people use. Show that you can take user feedback and turn it into features. Show that you can work with others as a team on a large project.
Those will look the best.
