    Be picky when choosing clients, even when you're starting out

    SIDE HUSTLE RANT 
    From my experience, people never accept their faults and will always find ways to justify why they did something bad. Instead of arguing with them just said, "Ok, you want this feature, it's gonna take 2 months and will cost you X". That shut them up immediately. They might act tough now and...

    SIDE HUSTLE RANT 
    Ever since I joined this forum, people have been telling to charge what I'm worth and work with good people. Because I only just started working on my business after leaving the rat race, I lack the experience, so, a lot of mistakes were made and will continue to be made. One of the worst...

    Yea the picking the industry is the real deal and you won't need a lot of clients and slave all year if the industry has a lot of money. If i specialize in speeding up spaceship thrusters, I might need only 1 client because i'll probably get paid $1m per year.

    Some people told me this in my other thread already. I tried it without success but I'm probably just not asking the right questions or being too robotic because I'm introverted and awkward in general. I will be practicing this some more then because it seems legit. Yea I doubt it because I...

    From my experience, prospects need to talk to their wives or the tooth fairy before hiring you when they don't trust you. That's why I'm gonna do my best to get some good testimonials. It's also going to be good when I build landing pages because a landing page that doesn't have any social...

    I did some research and found that all of the successful agencies charge hourly. For example, A Nerds World charges $120/hr. Hourly billing is interesting because you can provide rounds of revisions easily. For example, you can tell the clients he's get 2 rounds of revisions at 1 hour each...
