Now let’s take a look at 5 the steps
Step 1:- Target setting:
To earn $1000 a month first by programming (in your Home-country).
It is really possible to earn $1000 a month solely by programming.
- You can make websites software solutions for people. We are not talking about big companies but these days many individuals have the same demand of building their websites or enhancing them for sales of their product.
- Or even there is a huge market for Digital promotion or content writing in which you can use the programming skills that you can learn in just a few months and start earning $1000 or even $5000 a month.
- Programming is a tool that makes life easier and the fundamental idea is to reduce the difficulty of life.
- If all the contents given here are followed honestly, earning $1000 or even $5000 a month is not at all difficult by programming.
Few reasons why [Earning $1000 a month] is easy with programming in Japan
For example, in the case of the above projects, the usual payment is about $100 to $200 to create a Single-page website. An expert can make it in about 3 hours. An absolute beginner like you (after learning coding for 3 months) can make it in one or two days.
The above site gives about $500 to $1000 for 5-page website production. In addition, if the customer is satisfied, it leads to continuous demand for further modifications and updates that can lead to your continuous income. A normal software developer may take a week to build and an Absolute beginner can do it in two to three weeks.
There are a wide variety of projects in the world, and if you accumulate experience as a programmer, your income is very much likely to increase to $500 a month within one or two months of implementation. Also, programming is an ever-growing industry, and since the Coronavirus pandemic, the demand for programmers (be it work from home or work from the office), has increased manifolds in Japan.
So it has become more advisable to learn and start earning from a skill that has an ever-growing demand in Japan.
This is all about your Goal setting. However, you can customize this timeline as per your need and your time availability according to employability in Japan.
Other Essential Employability Skills for Japan:

Arrive to work on time, or early.
Be responsible and answerable to your work.
Have a positive attitude towards work.
Complete tasks on time and accurately.
Seek out information from your Japanese counterparts to improve your skills.
Be a listener. Soon you will realize, the Japanese work style is highly detail-oriented.
Now let’s see the second point.
Step 2:- Basic preparation:
Get a personal computer
A common question asked from beginners is: What kind of computer should I get?
Conclusion: If you’re comfortable investing, buy a 13-inch Macbook Pro
Reread: It is completely OK if you have a simple Windows PC. The only requirement is that it should be in good condition for 2 to 3 years if you want to be an engineer, and you want to achieve a $1,000 a month income.
Why the 13-inch Macbook Pro is recommended?
For programming, Mac is a standard, and the reason why “Pro 13 inch” is recommended is as follows.
- On the Mac, there are plenty of programming apps (most engineers in the world love the Mac).
- Intuitive operation increases productivity (once you use a Mac, you can’t go back to Windows anymore)3.
- The 13-inch Macbook Pro has high enough specs and a good screen size (it’s also convenient to carry).
- Needless to say, Japan has a great Love for Apple devices and there is a common norm in Japanese society to have Apple products. It has built their ecosystem.
There is no problem programming on Windows. However, many engineers around the world use Macs. So, when you search for something you don’t understand, the information for Mac users is often popular on search engines.
Step 3:- Basic understanding:
What is programming in the first place?
If we explain the work of programming, it is like “the work of giving instructions to a personal computer”.
|
As like in an office: Manager: Gives instructions to engineers to run the business Engineer: Gives instructions to your computer to run the business |
Your PC according to the instructions given by you. So isn’t it great to have the job of ordering a computer? And that too sitting in Japan? Earning in Millions?
