What the hell am I doing.

[DesignerOne.]

Between Upwork and working through facebook groups I've been getting solid returns for my time invested.

However I'm still really struggling with cold emailing/calling and trying to figure out how the hell to get started, I do cold emailing and calling just fine...I think, but it's the "who" that I'm struggling with, who can I actually help?

I do logos and marketing material such as social media campaigns, ads, flyers, store headers, and more.

Now that being said, who the hell needs this stuff that’s going to give me the actual value for what I'm offering? Rather than getting all the low hanging fruit- AKA- people who are starting off and need a boost in their campaign because it's easier, and low risk. I need to go high risk.

Any ideas or suggestions?

I have a long a$$ thread that's my progress and It's easy to get lost in there, so I'm starting a new thread for discussion on this topic with anyone who has experience, or anyone who is struggling and we can just brainstorm/help each other out.
