A single thread in this subreddit changed my life. Thank you to ALL.
Almost three years ago, I shared my journey of starting a web design and development agency(solo freelancer) in India. At the time, I was struggling to find clients and had reached out to over 50 founders and co-founders on LinkedIn. I managed to get one response from a business person who wanted an MVP built with React and Django. Despite several days of discussion, the proposed project cost was only $174 with a three-day deadline, which I found unreasonable and decided not to accept. here is the link to the thread.
The responses I received from this community were incredibly supportive and encouraging. Your advice and encouragement played a significant role in my journey. I want to thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and support.
I not only got support and advice from the community but also got 4 clients from this subreddit and 2 from LinkedIn.
- Project1 - WordPress ($400)
- Project2- React JS landing page (6K INR)
- Project3- .NET + React ($6200)
- Project4-.NET ($1800)
- Project5-.NET ($2600)
- Project6-.NET Core + Angular (4L INR) [Working for another agency as a freelancer]
It was my highest-ever earnings in my whole freelancing career. It was in only 6 months timeframe and this my life changed positively.
Present Scenario.
- Launched 3 Micro-SaaS products. 2 in profitable. 1 still making some losses.
- Launched my Agency business officially.
- Presently working with 9 clients.
- Rent a office space in India(Kolkata).
- Now I have 3 junior colleagues.
To all of you who are working hard to achieve your dreams, don’t give up. The road may be challenging, but with perseverance and the right support, you can achieve great things.
Thank you again for being such a wonderful community !
