A career as a freelancer is the reality for 35% of the United States' workforce. It is designed for people that desire more freedom, or feel working for an employer limits their ability to be creative.

Freelancing is a viable option for programmers interested in earning additional income while employed or starting a full-time business in the future. Both are viable options with a differentiation between active income (working) and passive income (not working to earn income).

However, working as a freelance developer might arouse some questions. What programming language should you learn in order to become a successful freelance programmer? Should you learn a specific programming anguage in 2020 to succeed?

In the freelance world, there are generalists and specialists. A generalist programmer typically takes on all programming assignments in a variety of industries. The downside to this is that you may be seen as a freelancer that is new to the subject, which results in a low or beginner rate.

On the contrary, a specialist is a computer programmer that has worked in a specific industry—like real estate—for five or more years, or one who is knowledgeable of a specific skill set or programming language, like PHP.

The advantage of being a specialist is your rates can be set higher because of the value you can offer the client.

In today's video we are going to discuss what programming languages and technologies you should focus in 2020 to become a successful freelance developer

How To Get Into Flow State 🧠💡 | Become A Productive BEAST!

Flow state is something super important for programmers and, those who have entered this state know what I'm talking about.

In flow, every action, every decision, arises seamlessly from the last. In this state, we are so focused on the task at hand that all else falls away. Action and awareness merge. Our sense of self vanishes. Our sense of time distorts. And, as the research demonstrates, every aspect of performance goes through the roof.

Today I'm going to partner up with Rian Doris, part of the Flow Research Collective. The Flow Research Collective is a research and training organization. Their mission is to understand the science behind ultimate human performance and use it to train up individuals and organizations.

By decoding the neurobiology of flow—understanding what is going on in the brain and in the body when humans are performing at their best—they can open up a new possibility space for human potential. (Source: https://www.flowresearchcollective.com)

If you're interested in getting into the flow state, especially if you're a developer and want to get the best out of your code, definitely watch this video and the FREE video training Rian has stored for you.

Blockchain is one of the hottest skills in tech right now. Don't believe me? Hired.com's 2019 State of Software Engineers report that shows that global demand for Blockchain developers is "through the roof", growing at a rapid rate of 517% year over year! Blockchain developers earn $155,000 per year on average in cities like San Francisco, and you're more likely to earn higher pay in blockchain compared to other disciplines. There's even more good news: the blockchain workforce is highly distributed. That means you don't necessarily have to live an a major tech hub like San Francisco to work for a blockchain business that operates in San Francisco. You can work remotely, which allows you command a "big city salary" while living in an area with a lower cost of living. If you're willing to work as a freelancer, you open up your earning potential even more. Many skilled developers can charge high hourly rates. You might ask, "why are blockchain developers so highly paid?" It's a classic supply-and-demand problem. There simply aren't enough people with blockchain skills to satisfy the demand. Because the supply is small, and the demand is high, the price of compensation goes up. How do you become a highly paid blockchain developer, then? Thats exactly what me and Gregory, from Dapp University, will be talking about
