    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    Yep, agree. That's why it's good to have 2 or 3 different ways of doing something. One of your ways might be better suited to the individual needs of a client. Users can ask for the ability to edit their sites - it's hard (not impossible) to do with a static site. If it's up to me and a...

    How My 19-Year-Old Son Built an $8K Web Design Business in 60 Days

    GOLD! WEB DESIGN 
    I think a Wordpress is simpler to get started with. I started with Wordpress and switched to coding from scratch because it was less headache. I now use tailwind and an SSG. It's not difficult and the sites are faster. If your son goes straight for the "code from scratch" option, he'll...

    How do you decide whether to suck it up and learn to code or to rely on outside help to customize WordPress E-commerce website?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    As an ex dev, you can easily vet 50 lines of code and see that it's fine to run. Now, pretend that the code you're running is in Chinese. Would you still feel the same level of confidence?

    It's all good. This kind of thing still happens to me. Had a guy ring me up ask me to manage his Google ads for 66 bucks lol. Of course, I politely declined and we said our goodbyes. Social proof really moves the needle with stuff like this. When you can say "We've built sites for 30 business...

    Starting From Scratch at 26

    INTRO 
    P.S. A lot of guys will roll their eyes at the process I've described. The truth is that relationship based businesses are very slow to kick off. Expect building out your network to take forever. The plus side is you'll learn a lot. You really have to get your hands dirty for someone to...

    Starting From Scratch at 26

    INTRO 
    Cold calling worked fine for me. The key is to sound enthusiastic. You already start at -50 because you've interrupted their day, so you have to win them round pretty fast. Local meetups are far better. I've done a few and gotten good results. Back in the days, I used to be a patron of the...

    To elaborate on my goal: I'd like to create a lead generation system that I control. The system will be a black box that I can plug clients into. When they’re plugged into the system, the client will get leads. A good example is checkatrade. Business owners pay £250 / month to be listed. When...

    My goal this week is to accept this as fact: Even doing nothing is work. In the last year, I haven't allowed myself to go on walks, or spend long hours meditating or sitting still. Recently, I've gotten tons of valuable advice from @Richard Peck . But, my brain hasn't had the room to process...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    No. You asked this poor guy 3 questions. You can tell by question 2 he's already interested. So, I'd show him the product and if he wants it that's great. If he doesn't he'll ghost you anyway.
