Update:
Surprise client has ghosted(?) me. Was supposed to get him on a call to approve the new site I built up and take final payment, then he put off that call, and he's been kicking it down the road weekly for a month now.
E-mails- about 200 out, one touchback though I don't believe it will be a high-paying job. Weird situation since it won't be a huge-ticket job, but I think it would be a good inroad since he's massively B2B working with people I want to work with across the u.s.- this one is in progress and doing some mockups for him.
At about 160$ of spend for about 275 "qualified" leads my contractor has dug up, but no touchbacks besides the above unfortunately. I did have him go through old D7 lists which is more cost efficient, need to double down on that since he's the only upworker I trust (put out another posting but didn't like the replies/work I got in the range I provided- I may take this back to a manual task for myself).
Networking- Going to more, found a hot B2B networking event in my city, they already have a WD but they have 3 other groups who need one... but the groups meet during business hours so this is something else that has to wait until after the dayjob- had two people get in touch who wanted calls within this month at least. Found other events as well, had 6 requests for website audits at one which were all completed but they went ghost.
Follow ups- More can kicks, had 3 ripen last week, two wanted calls then again ghosted at the times they requested I call them- not getting depressed, I'm tired of feeling down and not doing sh!t for months, I'm tired of feeling sick and tired.
Been listening to interviews of other people that got into freelancing, the recurring theme is always "never give up, just do good work, offer value, and the moment everything kicks off you'll be looking back at your lowest lows from the stratosphere"- with that in mind, I soldier on (also been putting out resumes and doing dayjob interviews at least).
