[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 child) 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? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
