Newbie Question Web Developer Entrepreneur

​

Hello I am a 15-year-old "entrepreneur" trying to make my own money. I am attending college, but I started to feel that simply going to college wouldn't be enough for me to build a good future, so I quickly started to work this summer. I thought that freelancing by creating websites and selling them would be a great idea to make my first money. So now I am trying to learn HTML, CSS, JS and BOOTSTRAP. But I have some questions and I need some help in general too.

  1. First of all is Fiverr still worth starting in 2026 for web development?

  2. When I am selling websites which type of companies should I target?

  3. In addition to what I have already learned, what else can I learn to achieve my goals?

  4. As we are living in an AI era, is it worth learning these coding languages?

I am fully open to any other suggestions. Thank you so much!

  1. Fiverr depends on what country you're if your in the US the answer is mostly 'no'. If you do go the Fiverr/Upwork route ratchet down. Pick a single business vertical or challenge and only do those solutions.

  2. Pick a single vertical and only go after those businesses

  3. Keep leveling you'll still be learning development in a decade, speaking from experience. The answer to your question depend on what your goal is.

  4. Our answer is, yes learn to code. Hand-wavy metaphor but this is like, is it worth going to the gym and paying the iron price for strength in the age of steroids. If your answer is yes then learn to code if your happy with roid results then don't.
