So I’m about 5 weeks in and really enjoying the learning process. I feel like I should be further ahead though. I’m not sure if it’s because I expect more from myself or if it’s simply my lack of available time that’s slowing me down. Juggling this, work and family is a major challenge.
I have the basics down and I have been messing around building a site from scratch to reinforce what I’ve learned. It’s going ok, but again, I feel like I should be ready by now and using my time getting clients vs. parking my a$$ in front of my screen trying to perfect this.
On top of that, I am digging into some of the GOLD threads here and on the INSIDERS forum which is raising some internal conflict. I see the great e-comm progress that others have made/are making and I am now 2nd guessing if I’m on the right path or not.
I know there are countless other posts on this board similar to this and I’m not expecting anyone to spoon feed me the answers. I know what I need to do. I think I just needed to get it out there on “paper” to help myself gain some clarity on my direction.
Hey man, we each started around the same time doing this stuff (beginning of February). I know what it feels like, wondering if you are even good enough to get a sale. I went on Upwork and got my first job for $300. It was a lot of work but I'd say it was worth it. I'm still currently working on the job but I've already learned a lot and this will be a great site to put on my portfolio. I'd recommend finding someone with a bad site and just going ahead and offering to make them a site. You can try selling it, and if they say no just let them know why you need to make them a site (for your portfolio) and ask them what they'd be willing to pay. Do it if it's free, it doesn't matter. Once you have that first site it's a lot easier to get other clients. I already am talking with another guy about a job after I sent him a "mockup" AKA half finished site from my Upwork gig. People like to see that you're capable of making sites. Stick with it and you will be rewarded!
