Out of ideas...

Hi guys, I'm out of ideas and motivation. All the interesting course are still upcoming and I've finished the essential existing courses on treehouse that will help me to improve my Front-End Web Development.

I have no idea what project I should work on ( I've tried building a forum, a social platform, a messenger app ). Do you guys have any interesting project in mind that I can try my hands on?

Have you tried looking for any volunteer work? There are a lot of small organizations all over the place that could really use help with better websites. I always try to do a few every year, whether they are animal rescues, or homeless shelters. They are a great place to brush up on your skills.

Hello, thanks for your suggestion and I'lll definitely try it. However, I'm not too sure where and how to get started. Do you have any websites where I can get info about this from? Or could you please explaim further about what the process is? Thank you.

I've contacted local charities where I noticed they could use an updated website (such as an animal shelter) and told them that I'd be willing to design something new for them that could help them out. Sometimes you'll even see that they are looking for someone.

You could also try freelancing on sites like https://www.elance.com/ or http://www.guru.com/ . There are a lot of sites out there that cater to freelancers and you can easily search around for work that you feel capable of doing. Plus you'll get money for it!
