How I Made $5K My First Year Learning to Code (and How You Can, Too!)
Lots of people start learning to code in the hope of getting a well-paid job further down the road. But what if you could actually make money coding while you're still a beginner?
In this guest post, Joe Previte tells us how he was able to make $5,000 in his first year of learning to code, despite only spending $30 on his education.
Here’s Joe!
Last year, I made the decision to leave my graduate school program and pursue a career in coding. While spending less than $30 on online courses and resources, I earned close to $5,000 in my first year. I also recently landed a full-time job as a front-end engineer. I proved that it's possible to make money coding even if you're a beginner.

Here’s a breakdown of what I earned in 2017 using my programming skills. These numbers are before taxes:
$3,510 – From an internship with a web design agency ($25/hour)
$1,338 – From TAing/instructing for a local meetup ($15/hour for TA’ing and $25/hour for instructing)
Total: $4,848
