Learn these all in 1000 days | Become the Udemy techie

These stuffs mentioned in the blog can be learnt in 1000 days when you have some previous experience in technology field, you have that speed to code better. What I have given in this blog is the thought process of 10 years in learning about software and failing as well. The problem is we don't learn the important stuffs. Do you remember your wife's birthday? Nope! ( That's the most important thing to keep in mind !)

computing starts with Text - Hello world! 

Become the best story teller because everyone has a story to tell about their journey. Every text has life and it impacts the other person who reads it. Each blog you see on "blogger.com" or "Medium.com" is spoken to you and it's not written with random texts. Become the best copywriter and the book author, you got a lot of opportunities ahead. Never stop writing and you will be the best one out there.

computing - accounting - Spreadsheets

Spreadsheets and word processors would stay forever. Focus on the things that last long, focus on the technologies that you would use each day. Write 1000 words each and program one excel VBA each day. You can also have a MONDAY VBA day or TUESDAY writer day.

Move on to code for mobile phones and websites -  Take the baby steps, it may seem difficult but you can code better.

You are the best marketer when you start with digital marketing and post content like Gary Vee. Content creators would be highly rewarded in the future for their valuable content like Vlog or Youtube videos. Learn about digital marketing because it stays as long as the internet works. You can make huge difference in sales for an e-commerce company.

Don't Ignore Blockchain - because you might regret later. Learn about bitcoin, ethereum and how to create your own coin.

JAVA and LIZARD BRAIN Ver2.0 | this is not an Ultimate guide

Coding is a big headache and you still dream about becoming the best coder out there, please read further. Coding is a language that only few people understand, you need to make the machine understand the problem and solve it which makes you the best coder among your friends or in the company that you spend 10 hrs daily. When I started to learn about coding, I heard this " Eat java, sleep java and Pray Java" And many of us missed the train , wasting the time and money to learn coding but never succeeded.

Every coder faces that obstacle in the early stage of coding ( within 6 months of learning to code) you will be able to understand but not able to crack the interview process. It may seem difficult to work on different technology when your interest is in other coding language. Most coders have this lizard brain and all of us actually have this Lizard thinking at different stages of life. what seems to be difficult would become easy as time goes on. You wanted to drink the ocean with your knowledge cup and get the money in the bank, which is not possible in the first few years of coding.

The problem with coding is that you fail because you don't go with the step by step process. I missed the train because of jumping the process and skipping the basics. I don't know the basics of Java but wanted to code in android which doesn't work. After graduation , we must not rush into learning too stuffs too fast. If you ask opinion from 100 people who learnt JAVA, each one has their opinion because it worked for them. They won't suggest something that works for you, because you have to figure out and only YOU!

Another mistake coders make is copying other people's code. you can't create something from scratch that's okay. Use Github  or stackoverflow but do understand the meaning of  each line, don't just copy. some lines of code would be interesting and you can replicate in other projects as well, that's totally fine but when you copy and do when you don;t want to do or due to time constraint then you fail like I did.

software technologies are money driven and the first search before writing this article was " How much is a digital marketer paid in California?"  We want to switch technologies for a higher pay and that shouldn't be the goal. It takes a lot of time to climb up the ladder and if you don't understand the complete process or if you don't make the things look easier to you then you are ready to quit and start over from scratch.

Find the motivation to code, find the need to code and stop coding when you don't want to !

Learn Blockchain - seriously don't skip this

don't misjudge the blockchain !

Blockchain would stay forever and I don't get more enthusiastic in Machine learning or VR & AR because the things keep changing over time. Blockchain is the start for emerging technologies and it;s the basics. When you say Blockchain, most people would think of Bitcoin and Ethereum only! Most people would go into dreamy state overthinking that they bought 1000 bitcoins for 10 cents and luxury cars.

If you look at coinmarketcap, there are 1000+ crypto currencies where each day , a new coin is created. I can also create a coin called "udemytechie"and you can also buy it from an exchange. But they all transact with Bitcoin and Ethereum. You are now a bank for you and your friends, you don;t need a third party. You are saving time from reaching the nearest bank and as well your payment is sent within minutes to the concerned party for the exchange of goods or service. How easy is that?

But there are other things also that you do with Blockchain

1. Voting ( blockchain voting )

2.  Storing Medical history

it's a big ledger account that can store transactions in hash

you need only three things

1, learn about bitcoin , learn to send and receive bitcoins - Blockchain and Bitcoin Fundamentals

2. Learn about Ethereum , learn to create smart contracts, use the solidity language -  Ethereum and Solidity: The Complete Developer's Guide

3. Blockchain A-Z: Learn How To Build Your First Blockchain - learn to build crypto from scratch. There is some additional information for creating cryptos.

One secret tip for you- because I am into investing as well. The best tip is to keep your funds in either Ethereum and Bitcoin because you have the chance of the higher prices. All the other cryptos are jackpots and not consistent.   All the cryptos are either clones of bitcoin or Ethereum, if you find some token that is unique then it's time to invest in them as well. My bet would be having funds in Either bitcoin or Ethereum and ignore the rest. Disclaimer : -- Please don't consider it as investment advice and make your own decision/research.

Youtube Video editor - New skill and high demand

you won't believe this!

There is a huge demand for this skill. Because the craziness for people to upload videos on the internet and get paid a certain amount of money through ads. Everyone is eager for the Google's next big thing. First it was Google adsense and then youtube ads, we all love money don;t we?? Youtube was a fantastic idea and people love Tik-tok as well.  We can't predict the next biggest social media platform but keep creating content each day.

Create don't hate!

Don't create, just document!

YouTube is the new TV and the new Library!

There are cooking videos on Youtube that are famous in India. People get the freedom and who doesn't love to cook , love to eat or probably keep watching the Youtube videos. The more you consume, the more new videos are made. So there is a huge demand for this gig and all you have to do is learn two software

1. upgrade skills video editing like pro in filmora & photoshop

2. Getting Started With - Adobe Premier Pro

I believe the animations and intro for the youtube videos would become the biggest thing. The second thing is people don't have time to edit videos. This may sound like backend Job or a job of lower grade but you will become a content creator or Youtuber or Tiktoker in a few years which you can't ignore. The skills you learn now would be the helping to get save your money and time.

Digital Marketing | create your business from home

There are few businesses related to Tech that you can start from your home. Digital marketers are freelancers mostly. They don't have a work place and they keep thinking about how to dominate the Google search engine. I heard about this term back in 2013, I heard a friend of mine getting 1000 dollars per month and I thought like there is no coding involved, this could be the easiest thing to get a job or start my own Digital marketing agency.

But the reality is there are numerous topics that you have learn. Get  A wordpress site !

Early days of Google had few people online and there wasn't much info like we have nowadays. With google maps, your location can be found easily. Location of hotels, hospitals and whatever detail you want, you just type in the google search box. The results which were searched more, showed up in the first page and the less interesting in the next pages. so what happens is that, business listing in the first page got more clicks and got more businesses than 3 page listing.

Digital marketers tried to use the white hat, black hat, grey hat and whatever techniques that they had to put their clients website on the first page. They charged their clients with the page rank , page authority and domain authority. Higher the rank, higher the cost would be. People started to use Fiverr, freelancer, seoclerk and all freelancer websites to find digital marketers. They became the talk of the town but not for long. Organic search saw a drop because people got into Youtube videos , which kept playing for hours. So they made the Inorganic ads, in early days it was tough for a layman to understand the SEO terms.

But after 10 years , these terms are spoken on the streets. Even the doctors knew this and they wanted their clinic website on the first page. The beauty is that you can be a freelance digital marketers and there are plenty of clients around the world. Most of these companies have in-house SEO expert but if they don't have, you got an opportunity. Here are some of the basics that I learnt

1. Keyword search
2. Backlinks
3. Create viral content ( do the idea validation, don't ask me how it would get Viral!)
4. Run Ads ( facebook , instagram, twitter and google)

and most importantly check out the courses below that would help you reach the place in digital marketing that you dreamt of.


I don't have four separate courses on SEO but you can check one course which has content for 24 hours.

Javascript Developer - write once and keep writing

This topic was really challenging for me and I had to google , youtube and wiki. I had to drink 3 cups of coffee. It's very tough because there are so much new technologies out there and people are confused.

Don't forget this - no matter how new the technology is , learn the basics and don't forget your best friends - the one which got you a job as a software developer.  Because there would be so much research and development happening in the technology space for another 10-20 years. We can't predict the future, there would be collaboration of technology ( I mean the usage of technology) with the medicine field, auto sector and with the space technologies etc.,

When the jobs become out-dated, software programmers would be niche specific. Just like medical related technology sector or something like android auto, he or she would say I work for a company specialised only with Automobiles. It's not desktop anymore and that era is over but the mobile phone apps would live for some years until VR and AR takes over them. Whatever the future of technology would be , just keep saying yourself I am learning and I will code. Just look at the path of Javascript, we got plenty of tools now.

The Complete JavaScript Course 2019: Build Real Projects!  

this course explains all. Earlier when I started to code, I learnt about the BASIC. It was the best but not anymore. You need to constantly update your knowledge, year after year. Coding is easy but the old schools make it difficult. Coding is easy but we lack patience and think to ourselves we want to become like steve Jobs or bill gates or someone who is more successful. This course would give you real time experience and that's all you need to learn for the next 3 years.

React Native Design - Build front end of 10 mobile Apps

you can use the skills that you already used for building websites to build mobile apps. How effectively is this going to be? you have to figure out.  I used to reskin apps with the codes purchased from codecanyon website. One thing I learnt is that, never reskin again.  Reskin is not real coding and then I stopped it. Google ads bans accounts with apps created with the same idea multiple times. Have an unique idea, code from scratch and spread the IDEAVIRUS

Learn Excel to Impress your boss | Master the art of Excel VBA

I should have learnt about EXCEL vba in 2010 and I didn't

R u writer? - fictional or Non-fictional? | Publish your book on amazon TODAY!

Lets stop thinking about the amount of money that can be made by writing books and becoming a speaker at an event.  If you want to sell more books then start telling stories to everyone. Your story can be sad, happy or inspiring but you should become the best story teller. A good story teller knows how to impress the other person with his speech. Creating an amazing service or product is only 40 percent and 60 percent remaining is the story of the brand.

Check out my another blog - how to become the copywriter and not sell fast ( I just made up that title but the point here is to become the life time contributor) In short , become an artist who doesn't worry about the future nor money driven nor worries about the company's goals but only thing that comes to his mind is seeing each work as an art. Imagine you visit a museum on a leisure day , the day when you quit from worldly troubles where you have time for yourself and wanted to see things around as an art , you get that 100 percent curiosity with the pictures around you and take time to note tiny bits of the picture. you keep thinking in your mind 1000 times, how is it done? That is how you must work on your book!

becoming the fictional writer or being non-fiction is your choice.

Here's how you can find it!

you are good at explaining things and can bring life to your texts, you can become a writer. if you focus on the feel of the story like an artist who paints a picture, you would be the fictional writer anytime soon. You don't want to go into deep thinking, you just want to keep things simple and your instructions in life are like steps 1, 2 and 3 then without a doubt you are non-fictional writer. To become the best, you must have that dedication, reading others work would get you in other's shoes and make you the best author.

Choose your genre because you can't write all of them. You can outsource your work and ask someone to write for you. But not on all times, just when you definitely need that piece written in different genre by someone and not you. Hiring someone to write for you and Publishing your book on amazon or on any platform is very easy these days. Because you can't learn all the tricks of book writing and there are numerous genre styles that can't be mastered.


The Foundations of Fiction (Writing Mastery)

this is a course about writing short stories and novels. You will get an idea about how to describe your character and get your audience glued to your work. Every author doesn't write  passively but actually their work is speaking actively to the reader. Once when you master these skills from this course, you can start to publish your content on amazon. The competition is huge these days and only the best one is rewarded with more purchases.


Plan your non fiction book in a weekend.

do you like the title of the course? what do you think? can you write a book in a weekend or probably the title is wrong. But the title is a very good example of how the copy-writing works. You need to get that IDEAVIRUS for your non-fiction book. you need to include stories with proof and that makes a difference. I love the Non-fiction books because you turn one idea that you want to tell everyone into a book with success stories as a proof.

How long does it take to learn copywriting? | best copywriting courses

I am worried with the number of books on amazon. There are plenty of them that I can't count and there are numerous books that I completely hate. I am addicted to book reading and so I outsourced the work to a freelancer back in 2017 to write a book for me. I framed the idea of the book and included each chapters and the freelancer was able to do the work within 10 days. Each one of us have the idea to write a book and the problem is that we don't know how!

focus on the why - how and what as simon sinek says through his book. Why do I want to be in as a copywriter? one solid reason should be that you have consumed lots of books online and you post instagram stories regularly. You have that passion in your heart that you want your book to be read by 1000s out there and you wanted to feel satisfied in your work you do. Most people who work at odd jobs wanted to become a writer and that gives them the job satisfaction. Because I wasn't satisfied with my day job and I wanted to push more words to the internet.

COPYWRITING - is a way to tell people smoothly to buy your stuff. It's not easy! Thousands of people spend thousands of dollars to market their product/service and that doesn't happen overnight. Copywriting is an art, you have to keep writing each day and night , also stop worrying about the neighbourhood peer pressure. you have to stay awake extra hours and you have to keep typing like you keep talking. One more thing , you need to take enough breaks for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Do you think it's easy?


It's a style of writing where you connect with the hive who is ready with cash and wants to buy something from you. If you didn't impress them at the first place, you are going to waste your time and theirs. The opportunity is lost once for all, you may never see the same person again to your website. The point is to get familiar with your readers and not to be boring, because the bounce rate tell you how much your readers admire you. But I bet you can become a good copywriter if you follow these 2 steps

1. Become an EXPERT
2. Type like you talk
3. Be kind ( Extra bonus)

the third one is a gift for you.  People think that they buy some courses that sell on udemy and they wish to become the copywriter overnight. Does it really work? You need to practice. Indians believe that practising is the key to success. If you have learnt about yoga or meditation, the core concept of every learning is practising.  The goal is not to get bored and practice more , which is called as PASSION.

What I can do is recommend some courses where you must go step by step and practice regularly with a clear mind to see the results before your eyes!

Complete copywriting masterclass

this course is about writing better for google ads, facebook ads because the ads are the next biggest way to get traffic. There is no organic traffic and no one finds your website through search engine anymore. Create killer ads that enables the user to click your website. You will also find the checklist for learning the copy-writing skills.

start your freelance copywriting business?

Don't wait for someone to hire you! start working on your own and keep pushing till the limit is reached. The courses discusses about where to start looking for clients and how to get working on your own schedule. Imagine you work for someone at get 1000 dollars a month and work hard from 9 am to 5pm, you can achieve the same success with working only 4 hours each day.
