🔥 Student Win: From Sales Rep to First Freelance Client in Frontend Development

Oct 22 (edited) • 🌟 Student & Community Wins 🌟

I want to share a quick but powerful story from one of our students!

Evan Johnson was working as a sales rep at Verizon, curious about tech but starting completely from scratch. He joined Frontend Now, leaned into the process, and within weeks…

👉 He landed his first freelance client.

💻 A simple 3-page website for a landscaping business.

💵 Paid $300.

Now, $300 isn’t life changing money but it’s proof. Proof that the skills he’s learning actually work in the real world. Proof that a career change into tech is possible. Proof that momentum builds from that very first win.

What made the difference?

✅ He used the system we teach for outreach and referrals.

✅ He leaned on the community and coaches when rejection felt tough.

✅ He applied his skills immediately instead of waiting for “someday.”

Now, Evan is aiming for 5 star reviews, more freelance clients, and his first full developer role.

And this is exactly what makes frontend development so powerful: it’s an accessible entry point into tech with real world demand, lower barriers, and a clear path from beginner → freelancer → developer.

You can watch Evan share his full story here: https://www.learnfrontendnow.com/testimonials

If you’re starting fresh, stuck in a dead-end job, or have always wanted to become a developer, this is the roadmap.

Let’s give Evan a big congrats 👏 and if you’re in the same place he was just weeks ago, know that your first win could be right around the corner.
