Hi, fellow fastlaners.
I decided to get into the web design business and along with that, improve my sales skills.
I started learning web design a few months ago and I already have a decent amount of experience with building sites, but unfortunately, I got kinda stuck in the learning loop. Just because of the feeling that I need more skills before I start getting the first clients. I decided to put an end to that.
I decided to get on UpWork and I managed to get approved there. And yesterday I started applying for jobs.
So what are my goals for this month:
I would like to go more international with my services, simply because of the money and opportunities in the long term. With that said I would like to ask you a few questions:
Also, I would like to thank Fox for creating such a great content for people who want to get into this hustle.

So what are my goals for this month:
- Get a good first client. (not necessarily well-paying client, but a client that will help me get good leads)
- Grow my social media accounts related to my services.
- Improve my English, to get more comfortable with closing sales with people from foreign countries. (I am from Europe, Czechia)
I would like to go more international with my services, simply because of the money and opportunities in the long term. With that said I would like to ask you a few questions:
- Should I focus on finding my first clients in my country and look for them locally, or I shouldn't worry about that and try to look for anyone who could need my services? I feel like limiting myself in the beginning, could possibly hurt me in the long term. What do you think?
- Any tips for recognizing the best first client?
Also, I would like to thank Fox for creating such a great content for people who want to get into this hustle.
