You're totally right. I figured, that knowing copy, even basics of it, will put me ahead of like 80% of other web designers, even though they may be more experienced than me, so that definitely helps. I remember Lex's thread talking about writing clients with YOU focused proposals. He said most copywriters make the mistake of writing ME focused proposals.
And this was about copywriters... the people who should know better, let alone web designers.
Like you said, it can help with a store, or basically anything online. So I will keep learning, maybe just a little bit less than previously.
Happy to hear you're going on the same journey. I am wondering if you used codeacademy to learn the basics.
Honestly, I started with that, but it felt overwhelming and not clear to me, so now I am going through a course on Youtube, which I find much more clear.
I live in the south. Almost on the Slovakia border. 2 hours from Cracov.
I always wanted to visit Gdansk, Trojmiescie, so I will hit you up, when I will be around.
I really believe what you are saying is true. In the past I was looking at the different aspects of my life as a chain of disconnected events. Recently I had an epiphany, about social skills overlapping business, business overlapping education, and so on. I am still at the early stage of that, but I am starting to look more collectively, to see the bigger picture.
I am sure you experienced this weird phenomenon, when some experience from the past, which seemed completely irrelevant turned out to be the key, a few years later.
Numbers game... I am going to keep repeating those two words to myself whenever I face a rejection.
So even though 95% of people "rejected" you, you still made a profit.
Rejection in business seems scary to me, even when cold-calling.
But I suppose you got used to that, after some time so it doesn't affect you that much, and just push it, it, right?

Okay guys, I am at the beginning stage now. I am going to come back soon when I will get the skillset to approach my first clients, and start to inform you all again.
For me I had a job at a telemarketing company harassing people for money, eventually I learned to find rejection funny because I was high every day on free coffee, and would just blast calls all day talking smack with co-workers, in fact I liked getting rejected because I would shoot out stupid requests for huge amounts of money to the people that would say NO to me so I became a real life troll (Yeh I got fired eventually lol)
My friend who is a total nincompoop got several 4 figure + sales, and he's garbage at sales.
Shoot for the moon
