It's been a few months since my last post, but happy to report I've been busy with business development and project work. Today I closed my 4th client ($32k project) which put me over $100k in sales this year. Of that, a little over 20% will be recurring revenue in 2026 (licensing fees for one client, and a 12-month maintenance contract for a different client). Not bad for starting from absolutely scratch in March. I followed the approach touted here: started by building things for myself, then for others for free, then posting about my learnings to LinkedIn, and eventually getting my first paid client, which led to referrals. Now I'm looking at 2026 opportunities and growth through a very different lens, and I will start building a team. Thanks for all the support of this community!
