- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

When you say your own business, do you mean you work as an independent contractor or did you build your own software application that you are selling as a service or a one time purchase?
I'm curious about this as I too want to work independently in the future but not sure which approach to take
Independent contractor.
I'm not sure the latter would have allowed me to get off the ground as quickly, but it certainly has the bigger income potential.
I don't have any product ideas at the moment, but now that I'm up an running, I'm in a much better position to execute on one if I did.
Thanks for the reply. I feel a few years of contracting might build up my skills and confidence before I think of executing on any idea as well. How did you start finding clients, any particular websites or through contracting agencies or just word of mouth through your personal network?
Slick website + google ads + getting public reviews from early customers that I put on the website.
Be easy to contact. I made buttons on the website that shortcut to call, email, or whatsapp. Directly even, if on mobile.
After an initial slowness it all seems to have started to feed into itself. Search activity for my actual business name is increasing, not just the search terms for what I do.
I don't want to rely on online advertising, tho, so I'm eventually gonna give some other forms of marketing a go.
