Alright all.
I am starting a the third step in "from Flat Broke To Filthy Rich" ladder.
Before I was cleaning windows and let's say I had moderate success. On days when I was working I think I have recieved about 85€ average - about Ireland's minimum wage
I knew that web design/specialized skill must be the next option, but nothing has pushed me to it.
Until yesterday.
I've read a book called "The Right It" (inventors - heads up - it's The Lean Startup but better), which is a book essentially about testing your idea. It talks about concepts like pretotyping before prototyping, which is about verifying your idea (pretotyping) before verifying that you can build it (prototyping) - very recommended read.
As I've spent some time working on my invention I knew that working any more would be useless until I verify the market.
To verify the concept I concealed a test from 3d printed samples (yes fr) that would cost me about 200€.
So I've realised that I don't have those money (because I'll have my "window cleaning" income cut off - I'll have to move to another country soon)
So, get to grind:
What was done:
1) I've read @Fox's book about web design (thanks @Fox)
2) done the advice from the book - reach out to my friends
And it seems that it has worked! 1 person has said that they needed to make a simple website (not for business purposes, but for "history"), and another has said that "maybe his mom needs one" - his mom is a real estate agent.
Maybe I will have my first clients here.
3) cold emailed cleaning companies.
This:
Re: Your website can generate more sales!
Hope to get first clients, maybe get paid, maybe for free, and get referrals.
I also don't know everything in web design, but up until I'll work from it when I'll find a client - we are in the business of solving problems, not web design.
Plans:
Find clients
Learn and do copywriting
Try to help people get more clients if they agree for Google ads.
Let's go!

So far, no responses yet.Good afternoon!
I am writing because you can generate more sales from your website!
You see, when a customer visits your website, they instantly start thinking whether they want to purchase cleaning supplies from you, or should they move on to another store. Thus, if more customers who join your website want to buy, you will have significantly more revenue.
I am saying this because I help people by bringing in more sales - I design websites which when people visit they buy.
Do you think you need a website that when people join they buy?
If so, call me up at +353 12 3456 789, and we'll discuss it.
Thank you!
