I am thinking of doing freelance web development and I'm currently building my portfolio for it. However, I don't have any degree at all and I live in an expensive country. My friend however says that I still might have a chance if I make good quality stuff. Right now I'm even working on creating a video platform website similar to YouTube (with it being fully functional) just to impress potential customers.

Would that work?

Usually when people ask what I do I say I’m a web application developer rather than just web developer just to differentiate between what you’re saying (static sites, graphic design focused) and business applications.
