Flutter Seekhke 6 Mahine: Pehla App Project ₹22,000 Ka Tha
App launch hui thi shaam ko 6 baje. Raat 11 baje client ka message aaya: "app crash ho raha hai, log complain kar rahe hain."
Uth ke laptop khola, dekha toh pata chala ek API call mein null check nahi tha, jab server slow response deta tha toh app crash ho jaata tha. Raat 1:30 baje tak fix karke naya build bheja client ko, Play Store pe update karwaya.
Subah client ka reply aaya: "thanks for fixing it so fast." Us waqt laga ki shayad ye kaam kar sakta hoon main.
YouTube se shuru hui journey
Web development kar raha tha pehle, HTML-CSS-JavaScript wala basic kaam, chhote clients ke liye landing pages banata tha. Ek client ne poocha ki kya main uske liye ek mobile app bhi bana sakta hoon uski chhoti bakery chain ke liye. Maine "haan" bol diya, bina pata hote hue Flutter kya hota hai.
Us "haan" ke baad Google kiya "mobile app kaise banaye," aur Flutter ka naam sabse zyada aaya. React Native bhi tha option mein, par Flutter ki performance reviews achhi lagi.
Pehle 2 mahine: sirf confusion aur "counter app"
YouTube tutorials follow karte hue pehla app banaya, wahi standard "counter app" jisme ek button click karke number badhta hai. Simple tha, par Dart language (Flutter ki programming language) samajhna khud ek challenge tha.
Widgets ka concept sabse zyada confuse kiya. "Sabkuch widget hai" ye baat sunte the tutorials mein, par practically samajhne mein hafte lage ki ek text bhi widget hai, ek button bhi widget hai, poora screen bhi ek widget hai.
Waise, actually pehla mahina toh sirf setup mein gaya. Android Studio install karna, emulator chalana, ye sab technical setup itna time-consuming tha ki actual coding start hone mein 3 hafte lag gaye.

Join KaroJab pehla real app banaya, practice ke liye
3 mahine practice ke baad ek personal to-do list app banaya, sirf apne liye. Ye pehla app tha jisme state management (data ko track karna app mein) properly samajh aaya, aur local storage bhi use kiya taaki data delete na ho app band karne pe.
Ye app kabhi publish nahi hua, sirf practice ke liye tha. Par is app ne mujhe confidence diya ki main ek complete, working app bana sakta hoon, sirf tutorials copy nahi kar raha.
Pehla client: bakery se gym tak
Us bakery client ka project fizzle out ho gaya, budget ka issue tha unke paas. Par ek doosra contact mila, ek local gym owner jo apna schedule aur membership app chahta tha.
₹22,000 mein deal hui. App mein tha: class schedule dikhana, membership status check karna, aur ek simple push notification system reminders ke liye.
5 hafte lage banane mein. Firebase (backend service) integrate karna sabse mushkil hissa tha, kyunki pehli baar kar raha tha real backend ke saath. Do din sirf ek authentication bug fix karne mein gaye.
Launch wali raat, jo upar bataya
App launch hui, aur wahi crash wala incident hua. Us raat genuinely dara hua tha ki client relationship kharab ho jayegi. Par jaldi fix karne se ulta trust bana.
Ek cheez jo seekhi: production mein deploy karne se pehle, poor network conditions test karna zaroori hai. Development mein sab kuch fast internet pe test kiya tha, real users ke paas slow connections the.
Doosra project, alag tarah ki galti
Doosra client aaya usi gym owner ke referral se, ek chhoti salon chain thi. Is baar technical galti nahi hui, par scope creep hui. Client baar baar naye features maangta raha, "bas ek chhota sa addition."
₹18,000 mein shuru hua project, par extra features ke liye alag charge nahi liya maine shuruat mein. Aakhir mein original scope se dugna kaam ho gaya same paise mein.
Ab tak ka honest hisaab
6 mahine mein total ₹87,400 kamaya, mostly do bade projects (gym aur salon) se, plus kuch chhote maintenance kaam. Average nikalu toh mahine ka ₹14,600, par distribution uneven hai, kuch mahine ₹28,000 aaye, kuch mahine sirf ₹3,000.
Time investment: hafte mein 10-12 ghante, learning aur actual project work dono milake.
Sabse badi galti: scope creep ko handle nahi karna doosre project mein. Ab har contract mein clearly likhta hoon "3 revisions/additions included, uske baad per-feature charge." Ye seekhna zaroori tha.
Aur ek baat jo koi nahi batata: Play Store pe app publish karna khud ek process hai, review mein 2-3 din lagte hain, aur kabhi kabhi Google reject kar deta hai kisi chhoti policy violation ke liye. Pehla app 2 baar reject hua, ek baar privacy policy link missing thi, doosri baar ek permission properly explain nahi ki thi
Agla goal hai iOS ke liye bhi publish karna seekhna, abhi tak sirf Android side kiya hai. Apple Developer account ka annual fee dekh ke thoda hesitate kar raha hoon, dekhte hain kab decide karta hoon
Aksar Pooche Jaane Wale Sawaal
Flutter seekhne mein kitna time lagta hai freelancing shuru karne layak?▼
Basic UI banana aur simple state management 6-8 hafte mein aa jaata hai roz 1-2 ghante practice se. Client-ready confidence, jisme API integration aur proper app architecture aata ho, mujhe 5-6 mahine lage. Complex apps (payments, real-time features) alag, lambi journey hai.
Flutter developer freelancing se kitna kama sakte hain?▼
Simple business app (menu, catalog, booking type) ₹15,000-30,000 mein banta hai. Complex apps with backend integration ₹40,000-80,000 tak jaate hain. Part-time karke mahine ka ₹12,000-20,000 realistic hai shuruat mein, mera 6 mahine ka average ₹14,600 hai.
Flutter ka kaam kahan milta hai freelancers ko?▼
Upwork pe 'Flutter developer' search karke direct clients milte hain, especially small businesses jinhe apna app chahiye. Local businesses (gyms, restaurants, salons) ko directly approach karna bhi kaam deta hai. Fiverr pe bhi demand hai, par competition zyada hai.
Flutter free mein seekh sakte hain ya paid course zaroori hai?▼
YouTube pe free tutorials (especially official Flutter channel aur kuch Hindi creators) kaafi hain shuruat ke liye. Maine khud sirf free resources se seekha, koi paid course nahi liya. Flutter ki official documentation bhi genuinely well-written hai, use karna chahiye.
Client ka app launch ke baad crash ho jaaye toh kya karein?▼
Turant fix karo, chahe raat ko 2 baje ho. Client ko exact kya hua batao, chhupao mat. Meri experience mein, jaldi aur honestly respond karna client ka trust banata hai, chahe galti badi ho. Ek client jisne mujhe is wajah se doosra project bhi diya, sirf isliye ki maine turant fix kiya tha.
