    Growing a Lifestyle Business – Freelance UX/UI + Web Design

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone, It's been awhile since I last updated. I haven't been as focused as I should be on the freelance business, but will change that starting now. I recently purchased Ran Segall's 6-Figure Freelance course for designers. It's been really eye opening and has taught me how to run my...

    How to quit video games

    MINDSET 
    I struggle with this a lot too and just started to seriously tackle it. I've packed up my gaming PC and swore off gaming countless times only to unpack them again a few days later. What really helped me was understanding the reasoning why videogames and other destructive activities are so...

    Growing a Lifestyle Business – Freelance UX/UI + Web Design

    EXECUTION 
    Here's a quick summary of what I've been working on this past month: $5000 Website project I just got the final payment of $2500 for the $5000 website I was working on. It was a website for a travel agency, which got me quite worried because of the virus. I didn't want the project to fall...

    Growing a Lifestyle Business – Freelance UX/UI + Web Design

    EXECUTION 
    Hi everyone, I'm creating this thread to document my progress as a freelance UX/UI + Web designer. Here's a bit about me: I've been a full-time UX/UI designer for the past 2 and 1/2 years, mainly working on SaaS web applications. I think I'm a pretty good designer, and know that I have the...

    Is my thinking flawed?

    It seems like you have some reasonable doubts for each of your ideas, but that is normal at the beginning. You won't know unless you try. You've already listed the solutions to your problems, but you're just unwilling to try them out because you're afraid they won't work and you'll waste time...

    Building a custom sneakers business

    EXECUTION 
    Cool idea! I'm not sure if you've heard of The Shoe Surgeon (Dominic Ciambrone (@theshoesurgeon) • Instagram photos and videos) but he seems to be killing it in the custom sneaker game. He even teaches people how to customize and charges $3000 per class

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Time for another update. I've gotten 2 new clients: 1 from a referral from a previous client and 1 from my personal network. I've started to be more open about my web design business and telling people I know that I do websites. At this point, I think I have done enough projects to start...

    Progress thread - Badcourses.com

    EXECUTION 
    Have you taken the courses you're reviewing? Also are you planning to do reviews for courses that are actually good? I think that would be beneficial since you can build relationships with those who put out good courses, as well as partner up with them to get affiliate links for their courses.

    Starting a web design business in high school

    EXECUTION 
    Great work man, I wish I had your drive at 16 years old. Your old client seems like he could be a good mentor for you. I would recommend keeping in touch with him as much as possible, and becoming his go-to guy for anything digital related (website, seo, social media, etc.) Your classmates...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Hey guys, It's been awhile since I last updated. My 3rd client really liked the website I did for him. He wanted to add more to the site, so we've started another contract. The total price of this website will now be $2000 CAD, making it my biggest sale yet. This client seems to have a lot of...

    Do I have to be good at design to sell websites?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    No, because you can just use a theme that already looks great and customize it to fit the business. It's more important for the website to be optimized to increase sales and leads through the use of marketing and copy. Design is more secondary... it just has to look modern.
