I know you said you have Java experience, but it sounds like it's not a lot and so sticking with Java doesn't seem like a necessity to me in this context. I don't know Java so I'm not going to give you any suggestions that include it, but hopefully others here will.
Websites. Learn WordPress and basic Web Dev stuff: JS, Sass (instead of CSS), and HTML. In my world it seems everyone needs a website, and I could make ~$50-75/hour~ $50-60 in my small-ish area (300,000 in the tri-county area). Basic, nice, professional websites are not impossible, you can do it :)
EDIT: I lowered the hourly rate. I might've exaggerated. See https://skillcrush.com/2014/03/11/how-to-charge-rates-web-design-freelance/ https://skillcrush.com/2014/03/11/how-to-charge-rates-web-de....
- user48 9y agoYou're completely right in regards to Java, I am not set on any particular language, which is exactly why I am not sure where to head yet. I know basic web stuff (HTML, CSS, JS), but no frameworks or anything in that direction. I'm just not sure where to have the best chances with becoming a little profitable, especially with the competition that might have stellar experience.
- auslegung 9y agoStart letting people know you're open for business to build sites. Feel free to take things that are a little beyond you, but be careful about anything too difficult because that can cause lots of stress and reduce quality. Most people aren't asking for a full Stack site, just a few pages probably. Start with those and improve.
