So guys, let's talk about programming jobs and how you can really get to that six-figure salary you desire. I got a list of 10 here. I'm gonna go into details about and I wanna cover each of them and the different unique perspectives of each and their advantages. Everything on this list, you can make at least 80 to $150,000 on average. You can probably make more, but I'm just talking for general cities, the small, medium, large cities, you can still make within this range pretty easily. You just got to really focus in on being the best developer you can be and really putting yourself in a position to win, guys. So I have a list of 10 right here in front of me. So let's get started. The good old database developer, guys. This is one that's always in demand. Always companies having to manage and store their data. They need somebody who can do this. You can be that person who do this for companies, guys. It's so important that you know how to manage databases and create store procedures, functions, be able to pass data to the front end and the back end of the application, guys. This developer is needed. Yes, you can make that six-figure salary, 120, 130, 150 as a lead SQL developer, even more, guys. So all depends on what type of value branch of the company and what type of budget they have for their developer. So database developers are critical. Number two, CRM and ERP developers. These are the ones, if you work for a software company, they're gonna pay you top dollar, guys. You can easily make over 150. Most of the time, you're gonna work for a software company. You'd probably make even more up until the two to 300, $400,000 range. I heard some people at Facebook make over $400,000 integrating into their software. But on average, let's look between 80 and 150, as far as just a good expectation for any size city, for a regular size company. These developers are needed, guys. Every company have systems and processes and resources they need to manage. They use the CRM and ERP systems to do that. They need custom development. Just because you use a canned software don't mean you don't need to customize it to your specific needs. Just like anything else, guys, the 80-20 rule, 80% of that canned software works pretty good. The other 20, you're gonna have to code, you're gonna need a developer to do that for you. That's a slot for you, guys. You can make really good money pretty fast, sales force, they got a ton of them out there, guys. Microsoft Dynamics, what else, SAP, just a ton of them out there, guys. Just find a niche, find an industry. This is a quick way to get started as a developer. BI developers, guys. If I had to pick one of the easiest ones to get into, the less intimidating developers is gonna be BI guys. Reporting, analytics, integrating into all multiple system from a reporting, alerting standpoint, these are really good developers. It's gonna be on the low end at the beginning. You're probably gonna be around that 70, 80 at the beginning, but you can quickly get over that six-figure salary pretty easily with this, guys. You just have to position yourself, those big, in-back projects. Don't come across as a analyst, guys. This is what these guys do wrong. You just put yourself in a position as a report writer, which a lot of that you're gonna be doing at the beginning. Nothing wrong with that, but you wanna quickly put yourself in a position to start solving problems and being able to provide information in the right spot that's gonna help the company save money and get that ROI quickly, guys. You notice I'm always saying ROI, ROI, ROI. Return on investment. The bigger the return, the more you can charge the customer and the client, the more money you wanna make. So let's make sure we put you in a position, even as a BI developer, to really make the max amount of money, that six-figure salary, you can get up pretty quickly. And most companies need a BI developer. Maybe you're not exclusively a BI developer in the smaller companies, but at least at the very minimum. If you do any kind of reporting, a lot of the SQL database developers, they kinda get into this world. This is how I started, specifically with SSRS on the Microsoft side. This is some really good money, guys. Front-end and UI developers. Another one that's gonna start off a little bit on the lower side of the spectrum, guys. You can start off 80, 90, $100,000, depending on what frameworks you use, React, all the other stuff, Django, all that stuff, guys. It's very important with the front-end developers. UI developers, this is very important. Your problem is you get caught up in the design. Designers typically wanna come in as front-end developers, undercut you guys because you're just specifically using design as your main selling point, which in the client's mind, design means there's something that they can do if they really want it to. So you gotta convince them why they don't have to do it in-house. That's why I always tell you guys, developer, developer, developer, you need to be providing solutions. Even as a front-end developer, how are you gonna get there or why? At that time, a lot of information on the screen can be optimized to make people more productive. If you can quantify this and you can have a proof of concept, the money's in the bank for you guys. I talk about this in my seven-step guide below, guys, how to make money, the software development stack, our software development guide, go ahead and pick that up, and then we kinda get into the different ways of fine clients and be able to pitch them even as a front-end developer how to do this. Number five, guys, mobile developers. This is kinda going more into the cell phone tablets or smart phones and tablets. As far as just the native apps, the web apps, regardless of what type of app need to be optimized for mobile use using a lot of the portability, the functionality across multiple devices, guys. These are the types that always the sexy things to do, guys. Everybody wanna be a mobile developer because everybody use a smartphone, they use apps to Apple App Store, Google Play. Everybody have a smartphone in front of them. These are more the sexy applications, guys. So a little bit harder to get into at the beginning, but once you get in, once you get that niche, you are to the races. You can easily make over $100,000 with these guys. You just need to niche down. I see that's the problem with most mobile developers. They don't niche down to a specific industry. They keep it general, like Apple or Google, which is okay. Don't get into the gaming side too much. Stick with the business side initially, and then you can kinda work your way into other niches you prefer after. We'll talk about game developers later on in the video. But number six, back-end developers, guys. This, back-end developers, this is what you see a lot of people talking about on YouTube. PHP, Python, C-Sharp, Java, well, not, yeah, Java. C, C++, Ruby. All of this is back-end development, guys. This is the stuff you don't see. The front-end, the database and the back-ends is stuff to move into data, the processing of the data and all the information between the front-end, the database and the back-end. This is probably the biggest niche out of all of them, guys, because you can go a lot of different ways. You can do from AI, machine learning. The possibilities are endless here. As far as the amount of jobs, this is gonna be the biggest pool of the jobs, guys. This is probably gonna be one of the top-end as far as the salary too. Software development companies, Facebook, Silicon Valley, they are looking for these type of developers. They're cutting edge, they got a ton of data, they got a ton of process, they need to automate. These, you can make up to $500,000 a year, depending on how you position yourself, which markets, Silicon Valley, Facebook, I know some of their high-end developers make at least $400, $500,000 a year. For average company, you're looking at maybe $150 or so, $160, depending on the size, you can definitely get over six figures. If you're not making six figures as a back-end developer, you are getting ripped off. So you definitely need to be in that position to make money as a back-end developer. Algorithm developer, guys. This is one that, if you're looking at the volume of jobs, it's not out there as exclusive as your title, but you're gonna be doing a lot of this in other areas of development. But a lot of these gonna be data science companies, consulting firms, working with bigger organizations with a ton of data, they're trying to monetize that data some kind of way. This is where you're gonna come in, guys. Algorithms, AI, machine learning, all that stuff coming to play when it comes to creating algorithms. Every one of these developers, every one of these developers create algorithms at some point. It just is not advanced enough to really like the YouTube algorithm or Google search algorithm, like these big, well-known algorithm. You're not working with that massive scale of data that many people use in your algorithm, but you can do something on the smaller scales, just say for a transportation company to be able to provide which drivers the best option for a particular load. Yeah, yeah, that's a huge, that's a huge problem for a driving company. If you can provide that, that's money in the bank. But again, it's not gonna be a lot of jobs out there that has the title of algorithm developer, but they're out there in demand as AI increase, you're gonna see a lot of those guys. Game developer, I put this towards the end because a lot of you guys want to be game developers. This is probably out of all of them, the hardest one to get into because everybody's tried to be a game developer because they figured, I play video games, I might as well as a developer. This is one that's probably gonna be the hardest to do because at the end of the day, guys, a lot of competition, a lot of companies, they're gonna short pay you because they know a ton of people who's going to be a game developer. Just like any other developers, guys, the top 20% is gonna make bank, they're gonna do good, six figures easy, they go mid $300,000, $400,000, no problem whatsoever. But this one, they're gonna try to low ball you, especially as a beginner. That's why I tell you guys, you probably wanna do this as a beginner unless you just really good at it. I would start with one other and then work my way into this. I would come in with experience if you wanna be a game developer because they're gonna try to low ball you. And if you don't have any experience, they're gonna low ball you. I'm talking about bad low ball, like $30, $40,000 low ball because they know people wanna be around video games and they'll try to low ball you as much as possible. So be aware of that. RPA, Robotic Process Automation, guys. RPA, huge niche, huge, huge, huge. You need to jump on that, guys. A lot of business processes need to be automated. This is the way to go. And number 10, full stack develop, guys. This is another big one. You're gonna be working, especially mid-sized, small companies. Full stack developer is the way to go. Guys, these are all the developments options you have. We talk about more in our Seven Step Guide. Links are in the description box. Like, subscribe.
