    Going from freelance back to employee in sales? Should I...

    Hi, I have been a personal trainer in the UK for a long time now. I was qualified back when there were not as many trainers about, so it used to be very profitable, and can still be, but the trouble with the business model is that it’s limited by time. The second problem is that fitness is my...

    Freelance and beyond

    Someone asked this a while ago in a Facebook group I'm in: When you were a one-man-show, how did you manage (website) projects so as to not overwhelm yourself? My answer: I've a dozen monthly recurring clients on the go at the moment. I'm creaking at the seams but welcome it. I want to get...

    SinisterLex's - Freelance Giveaway & Other Free Stuff...

    MARKETPLACE 
    Not a sales ad. Growing my YouTube channel. Just crossed 800 subs and thought it would be cool to do a 1k giveaway. Entry is open until the channel reaches 1,000 subscribers. Since the channel is heavily skewed toward a freelance audience, the prize is freelance relevant. The same setup I...

    Starting From Zero: Road To $1,000/month Hustle

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I thought I would post this so I'd feel like crap if I disappointed you guys. Basically, I have been a "professional student" due to "being supposed" to do that and lack of action back when I first read the 4HWW at 19. Not having any success until now, five years later, due to excuses makes me...

    The impact of not knowing yourself

    EXECUTION 
    I’m going to start off with a highlight of a thought that came to me a couple of days ago: One of the main parts of doing good business implies helping others. If I don’t know myself well enough, to be able to help myself, and have no clue of how to get to know myself better, how can I expect...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    After 2 years and more than $100k made, I deleted my Upwork profile last week. I'd been pussyfooting around taking my copywriting business off of Upwork for months.

    Lex DeVille's - I Deleted My Upwork Account...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I'm deleting my Upwork account to start over from scratch to prove the freelance market isn't as saturated as everyone believes. The reason you can't get work isn't "market saturation". It isn't "fake" clients. It isn't Upwork's algorithms being "mean" to you or that you're brand new and don't...
