A huge shout-out to Wix for sponsoring this video; their tools are a crucial part of my workflow. Stick around to see how it all unfolds. Let's get into it.

Diving into today's vlog to share the ups and downs of my freelance web dev journey. After a layoff during the pandemic, I moved to the middle of nowhere for a startup job, and when that didn't work out, I carved my own path. It hasn't been all smooth sailing—but I'm here to show you, step by step, how I've made it work.

Thank you for not making it sound glossy and easy so we have a clear picture of what we are looking at in terms of the business. Great Video!

If you could make a serried just on this that would be great! Like how to start and launch a company as a complete newbie junior developer. I’d rather work as a freelancer for 250k than at a company for 500k

How are you using AI in any capacity for your workflow or creation process

Hey @RealChrisSean, thanks for the video. Fantastic content!
Quick question, so when you hunt for clients you look for just web development positions (ie: websites, e-commerce, etc...) or front-end development as well? And you aim for projects with a clear beginning and an end or ongoing work?
I ask cause most of the open positions out there are for permanent work to do long term maintenance or something...
Thanks again mate!

Hey man, thanks for an informative video. Does it make to niche down, let's say to only e-commerce? Also, do you have any statistics on how successful cold outreach is? Do you use LinkedIn for this?

[michellapatton]

Yes!!! Please more content like this, please! I’m going to use your email template to find clients….. I really need to book you as a mentor 😊

Your awesome Chris, I aspire to gain the type of revenue you have acquired. :) I work pure commission sales jobs with web agency owners in the realtor and plumbing niche. :)

Hi, is it realistic to learn web design from scratch and start as freelance directly? or should always gain corporate experience first?
