THE BEST PLATFORMS TO LEARN PROGRAMMING | FREE AND BEGINNER FRIENDLY

The following will be a list of the best free and easy to use platforms when learning how to program. These platforms are beginner-friendly and have given a lot of people good programming skills. By now I believe that you have an idea that when we are speaking of the word "Programming". We are referring to writing a code on a computer, for the computer to respond to it. Figure 1 below shows what a program might look like. Are you ready? Let's get started!

1. Codecademy

Codecademy is one of the programming platforms that have gained recognition worldwide. Many people from different social media platforms claim that Codecademy has helped them enhance their developing skills to an extent that they ended up being hired by Google. Who doesn't want to work for Google? 

The platform (Codecademy) itself also claims that many of its students have been hired at Google. This made me see Codecademy as a powerful and useful study tool to use when you want to enhance your programming skills. Codecademy also provides students with certificates after successful completion of their chosen programming course. Although, if you are not a premium user, you cannot get some of Codecademy's awesome features, including the certificate. That I did not like. That won't stop you from trying it out. Will it?

Programming languages available at Codecademy include Python, C++, JavaScript, Kotlin, HTML&CSS, etc. If I could try to mention all of them it would take me the whole day.

2. Khan Academy

Description:

Khan Academy is a non-profit organization that provides people around the world with free education. It does not matter where you are in the world. Many people have used and found khan academy useful and resourceful. See what I did there? 

Khan Academy does not have features only for premium users, but its features are for everyone. If you want a good start in programming, then Khan Academy is one of the right places to start. Including the ones, I am about to mention. 

Programming languages that you can find on Khan Academy are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as of today (2020/11/13). There is a step by step procedure and all the necessary tools are provided as soon as you need them.

3. Solo Learn

Solo Learn is a multi-platform app/website. Can you guess why? Well, that's because it contains content for both premium and non-premium users. Also, Solo Learn has a numerous number of different programming languages you can choose from. Is that fair enough? If your guessing wasn't anywhere close to that, I apologize. You'll get it next time.

Solo learn is mostly operated on android devices. There is a web version if you might not feel comfortable using the Solo Learn app. I consider Solo Learn as one of the best ways to get started as a beginner. Due to the availability of support from other users and in-app code editors. The most interesting part is that you will be given a certificate once you successfully complete each course on your chosen programming language. That sounds awesome!

Programming languages available on Solo Learn are HTML&CSS, Python, Kotlin, SQL, PHP, JavaScript, Java, C++, etc. There is also a community you can join on Solo Learn. Where people around the world share different ideas around using each programming language to create something useful.

HOW TO GET MORE USERS ON YOUR BLOG, CHANNELS, GROUPS, ETC?

Introduction

Getting as many users in your blog, YouTube channel, or group is not as easy as someone might think. Today, what you are about to read will not only be about how to get more users, but it will also be about how to make people visit your platform again and again. Follow the rules I am about to give you and you'll be on your way to getting as many people to your blog as you want.

How to get many people into your channel?

Inviting as many people to your platform is as easy as ABC. Remember that inviting users is different from getting users. Inviting users is all about introducing people to your content. All it takes is creating a catchy title for your content and spreading it to other groups and channels. Take note though, that your content title must not be misleading. You will read about that later, it's just a few sentences ahead. Moving on we have google trends.

Google Trends

Google trends is a platform by Google that records the most search online topics daily, weekly, or monthly. This helps developers or content creators like you find the most searched and focused on topics by people around the world. Using this platform helps you get as many daily users as possible.
Now that you wrote a catchy title for your content and used google trends, how do you get people to come back again and again?

How do you get people to stay?

It is almost obvious that, when you wrote something with a catchy title, many people will click it. But, what about next time, do you always have to go look for people again and again? Well, to that I'll say "NO". When people have seen that your content title matches what they found about your content. They will keep on wanting more of your content. As long as your content is not mixed up (If it's about cars, only post things related to cars), relevant, not exaggerated, not clickbait. The most common thing people hate is exaggerated content. That is not any different from promising people that you'll give them $200 each if they subscribe to your content, knowing that you don't have that $200.

Boring?

Avoid posting long, meaningless, and off-topic content. Understanding that many content readers do not like to read. Writing long and meaningless content creates frustration for the reader. Then that's when he/she won't come back. Make sure that your content has an order. Create headings, subtitles, and bold words to make emphasis important and catchy words.

Summary

Remember to not lose focus. Don't mislead your users, post something relevant, do not mix your post (Organise your posts). Remember that posting something irrelevant to your channel, blog or group will not help you gain users, but it may lead to some users leaving your platform since they may not be in favor of that content. Growing an online or offline platform was never easy, even for the biggest companies in the world. Don't rush things (Post about your blog, channel, and group often in the same groups). Posting your content on other groups often may lead to some users getting annoyed by your content or even banning you from the group. Nothing starts big, you have to start somewhere. Never hold on to that though. By that I mean do not feel comfortable being low. Work hard and you shall achieve your desired goal. Me

NEW WAYS TO EARN MONEY IN SOUTH AFRICA | FROM JULY 2020

 Before I get to the new ways you can money online in South Africa. I would like to thank those who visit my blog often. Also, try out my YouTube channel. 

Now let's get to these new ways to earn in 2020. I assure you that these new ways pay real money. For some, I have withdrawal proof available. So sit back and read. Thought I was gonna text "relax"? Sorry.

The first platform that pays real money online is M4jam. The app became a little popular in 2020. M4Jam pays between R60-R1000 per job completed. Jobs include surveys, taking pictures of certain locations and shops. It's that simple and the money is all yours. M4Jam surveys are unlike the ones you have completed before. They are simple and straightforward and pay up to R60. 

1. M4JAM

If you are not interested in the app, you are running away from a lifetime opportunity, since offers come in big pay-outs, plus your payments are processed as soon as you make your request. For this app, I have my withdrawal proof available.

Withdrawal Proof

2. Field Agent

The second app is Field Agent. Well, Field Agent performs a function that is quite similar to M4JAM. Payouts are also high on Field Agent. Although I have not yet withdrawn on Field Agent but trust me, it works.

To download the Field Agent app visit the google play store. Do not download it anywhere as a Field agent is also available in other parts of the country. So downloading it from any other source might give you a version designed for a different country.

BEST EARN MONEY APPS AND WEBSITES IN 2020

The following will be a list of the apps and sites I mostly recommend to others to try out. Although these apps won't make you rich, they can be useful. These apps and websites are created to help you earn money in your spare time. They are proven scam free and legit. I will try to bring up some details for each app and website I list. 

1. Geopoll

Geopoll is one of the best legit and fast paying apps. Geopoll pays you when you answer surveys, create polls, refer friends, price check, app review, etc. Geopoll is hosting surveys for one of the trusted companies. Those are Coca-Cola, USAID, BBC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Kantar, Uniliver, Ipsos, MTN, etc. I have been using Geopoll for quite some time and I have to say I had a great experience than expected.

Use the referral code: A67BCRH when signing up.

2. Buzz Break

Buzz Break is also one of the trusted earn money app by its users. You can earn money by reading news, watching videos, and completing offers on the offer wall. It pays within 48 hours. The payment method Buzz Break uses is PayPal. I assure you that Buzz Break is legit and not a scam. 

 

 To earn an extra bonus, enter my referral code B00783237 after you start using it! 

3. Carry1st

Carry1st is a one function app. You answer quizzes and get paid depending on the larder board ranking. If you answered all the quiz questions correctly more than everyone, all the money goes to you. But if there's a tie. The money is then divided according to the number of people you had a tie. It can be a fast way of earning money if you are good at quizzes. Prizes start from 10$ and upwards. So if you get all the questions correctly more than everyone the 10$ goes to you. But, if 5 people have a tie. Each of you will get 2$.

4. Current

If you like listening to music and radio, the Current app is the best place for you. At current, users earn money from listening to their favorite music and radio station. Isn't this an awesome way of making money?

Be aware and know that all the listed earn money apps/websites are legit and professional. But, they are not things you could use to earn money for a living. They are only to earn money in your spare time.

BEST ONLINE IMAGE OR VIDEO EDITORS IN 2020

Below will be a list of the best and free image or video editors available in 2020. Note that these image editors do not charge you anything, they are totally free. Although there might be changes made in the future, subscription wise. I have to say though that they are the best, and I have been using them for a long time until now. 

Kapwing

My number one video and image editor is Kapwing. It has a large variety of functions, like creating a gif, putting watermarks on videos and images, creating videos, etc. I recommend it a lot to many. If you have signed up to Kapwing your edited videos or images will not have Kapwing's watermark. If you did not sign up, your edited content will have Kapwing's watermark. That sounds cool. Meaning that there is no need for a premium version. 

Removebg

I consider this one as the best image background remover. Free and provides high-quality images. I've been using Removebg for about six months. But, I am still happy with the experience as I found no issues with the site. I am still looking forward to using it because it is fast and easy to use. Sign up is optional. You can still get your watermark-free content without having to sign up.
