From Copy To Commerce - The Journey

[nickalden]

Hi guys!

I am really excited today. A small win, but a win indeed.

This execution post was due last week, but I didn't want to come here with nothing.
I decided that I will take the path of freelance copywriting, and after taking the first step of going on upwork and mustering up the courage to send various proposals.
I am proud to say, I finished my first $5 gig three days ago!

Wew...

What an accomplishment. (please dont laugh first lol)

It is for me though. The first step is always the hardest. I learnt that in calisthenics. The first few reps of a new skill is always the hardest.

It took me 5 hours to write an about us page for the client. I don't think it was nearly good in the end. But I gave my best and researched HARD for it.
AND NOW
I am in the process of closing a $200 client! Am really excited for this. I will work with a designer friend of mine on this gig as he is a PRO.

Things are looking great. My goal is to get to $1,000 per week freelancing in 90 days.
Pumped for what's next. I will update my victories and also my losses.
Remember bois, men, and the lurkers out there. It just takes one step forward. One step.

P.S.
I want to thank @Lex DeVille for the insanely MASSIVE amount of value he gives FOR FREE (both here and on YT)! He also pushes the concept of 'Just freaking do it!'.
You guys should read his threads and @IceCreamKid 's threads. It will help push you forward.
Thanks to @Kasimir too, he's a great guy!

Anyone reading this, have a great GREAT day!
Cheers,
Alden
