There has never been a better time to start a side hustle in a tech-related field. There are so many opportunities out there to find work you can do right from the comfort of your own home.
Best thing? You don’t have to have a ton of experience to get started. In fact, you can gain experience while you are side-hustling in whatever area you’re focusing on.
That’s exactly what Laurence Bradford of Learn to Code with Me did. She went through a few free online courses and then started looking for small projects online to earn money and increase her skills in web development.
A few years later and she has worked for some big names like Teachable and runs a podcast and blog to help people learn how to find the transformation she did.
Laurence is the creator of Learn to Code With Me, where she helps people learn how to code so they can get ahead in their careers and ultimately find more fulfillment in their lives. After teaching herself how to code at 22 years old, she discovered the abundance of professional opportunities that technological knowledge can offer. Today, she shows others how digital skill acquisition can open doors to new professional possibilities. In addition, she is passionate about EdTech and using technology to break down barriers in the education system. Her writing has been featured on Mashable, SitePoint, The Muse, and more. You can find her at learntocodewith.me
If you’re kicking the tires of starting a side-hustle in tech, this podcast is for you. It can feel daunting but it doesn’t have to be. Laurence tells you her story and gives great insight into how anyone can get started with their freelance side-hustle in tech.
