    Tried my hand at Upwork to get some portfolio pieces in before reaching out to businesses. Despite using Lex's tips and having a 5 star rating under my belt, I've had no success... So I reached out to a potential client with a shit website and got told "as far as we're aware, our website is...

    One final question @Fox, hope I'm not being too annoying, if so just tell me to shut up :D About domains; what if the client has an existing domain, but they don't have or remember the details for their registrar? If some of these sites were set up long ago or by another developer, how would I...

    Fixed all the issues on my business site, email now finally works. Maybe I should have gone with BlueHost, as people say GoDaddy isn't the best. Messed around with Wordpress because I know eventually I'll have to use it. I'm wondering if and how I can insert Wordpress elements into a HTML5...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Coding is a great skill to learn because you can find a job without needing any qualifications. Out of all the slowlane jobs, I think coding is one of the best and most flexible. You can work remotely, easily get into freelancing, etc. Barrier of entry is very low. I started learning a year ago...

    Great points! Upwork kind of left a bad taste in my mouth after they slashed almost 1/3 of my revenue in fees and blocked my account until I video verify. But it's a pretty good way of getting jobs; almost every day I get invited to jobs purely by having "web design" tagged on my profile. I...

    Many thanks for your post, harsh rants are always appreciated :) I completely understand the points you made; you're right and thanks for reminding me about 1) adding value rather than just being a middleman 2) focusing on the process rather than the event 3) having goals The goals thing I...

    Bought my domain through Namecheap and set up hosting through GoDaddy so now I'm waiting hours and hours for the DNS shit to wire up and actually have my website working. It's taking forever damn it. The thought of going back to wageslavery and working for someone else is making me really...

    Finished designing my business' website this morning and bought a domain. Time to launch. Bookmarked a few geriatric-looking websites and will be contacting them later today. Wondering whether to set up social media profiles for my business or not. I feel like that would be so much work to...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I learned to program because with programming you can find a job that doesn't require a degree, just your portfolio, and you can learn enough in just a few months to land one. I didn't want to go to university, so that's what I did. And I wanted the option to work remote (I know there are other...

    Started reading The Millionaire Fastlane today and finding it to be gold, as expected. I can't believe I've never thought of the slowlane as a 5:2 ratio of work and play. Really puts stuff in perspective. Also lol'ing at the 4HWW hints; that book was one of the first entrepreneurial ones I read...

    Thanks for pointing this out. One thing I don't understand though. They say we can charge clients for products created under regular licenses. But then the regular license column says this: Is that not the same thing? Or do they mean a product that's sold more than once?

    Thanks for the tips! Do you ever get clients that don't want to give you hosting information/passwords because they're worried you'll steal something or mess up their site? A client bailing would be a nightmare to deal with. 100% agree with the making a kickass website thing; if you make...

    Hey @Fox a question about hosting. So apparently many do this through their domain registrar's FTP. But a lot of sites warn against this and say it can be unstable and expensive. Github pages is a good option, I use it a ton for my job, but it doesn't sound appropriate for client websites. I...

    Aaand just a few hours after I make the thread, I land a remote job. Looks like I'll need another goal: Journey to $10k a month. I'll have to keep changing titles as I achieve these goals.

    Great idea, the British accent might make me even more trustable ha. I was thinking of going local first but it can't hurt to just go all in and call internationally.

    Thanks for the reply and for the thread you made, it's given me a lot of motivation! If I remember correctly you were mostly cold calling your clients, right? And I know that's the most effective way. The problem is with a full-time job I can't call during working hours. Cold emailing is very...

    I first discovered that it was possible to escape the 9-5 life when I started a terrible job in January and went on an entrepreneurship podcast binge. Turns out you don't even need a big income, just the option to work remote. I first tried dropshipping from Aliexpress but all 6 of my websites...

    Hello from London

    Hello everyone! I'll try not to make this my life story. Basically I'm 19, nearly 20 and finished school last year. Didn't go to university as I wasn't willing to spend so much money or burden my parents with paying for me. I've also never liked formal education anyway. It's a waste for people...
