Self Employment Part two

In my last segment I concentrated on getting people interested in coding. Well I think I will continue in that direction with some more information.

First though I will revisit the other opportunities that exist for those of use wishing to look at self employment as a means of financial income and independence.

Taking a hobby or interests and turning it into a profitable business is always a great choice. After all you will like what your doing and look forward to getting up every morning.

Some people have taken baking and cooking likes and turned them into self employment opportunities. Have a great cupcake recipe? Turn it into a online business. Sell and ship from your home your fresh baked goods. Or you could rent a spot every Sunday at the local flea market.

Do you have a trade? Tired of working for someone else? Well turn your experience into a private business where you both boss and employee. Once again all you need to do is set yourself up online and wait for the emails or phone calls to come.

Notice how in both my examples I suggest for the self employment opportunity to set themselves up online. This is where the other growing opportunity presents itself. Every successful entrepreneur needs a good website to market their business and give people a way to reach them.

So learning to code can put you in the position to create these websites for other people from the comfort of your home, and the financial rewards can be great. The first step is to find an easy and fun way to learn. I still suggest the first step should be going to Codecademy where you can learn HTML and CSS the two main languages for making websites.

Codecademy has easy step by step learning modules that will show you your work as you proceed and take the time to explain what you are doing and why. This is also a helpful forum should you get stuck on a lesson and need feedback from your peers.

The site also has a small website building environment which is free to use and is great for testing out what you have learned and start to build you very own website.

Once you are comfortable with everything within the Codecademy site, you will want to venture out on your own and use an editor to create your own full multipage sites. Some of these are free and others cost a monthly fee. The best free editor I have found and still use today is Notepad ++ 
It has great features including many ad ons which help make your coding easier and faster. I highly recommend it.

With this editor you can create websites for fun and profit. So get coding today and find your new way to self employment from the comfort of your home computer!
