ADVICE

Narrow To Charge More

  • Become a specialist who solves one problem in one industry to charge premium rates.
  • Pick concrete stacks or integrations (e.g., Shopify → NetSuite) and market that as your sole service initially.
ADVICE

Pitch Companies, Not For Jobs

  • Hunt job boards and reach out to companies with matching tech stacks offering help, not asking for a job.
  • Pitch as a specialist and attach a specific project page for each stack you target.
ADVICE

Make Passion Projects Low-Pressure

  • Treat passion projects as hobbies and don't expect income for years.
  • Focus on what you'd happily do with no camera or audience and create content from that practice.
