Landed my first client

I want to share my recent win with you, guys. I can't share the numbers because everyone from the internet can see them. However, I can leave some hints.

My side project pays me slightly more than my main one. So, I managed x2 my income this month, and 10k/monthly through content creation became much closer.

Some of the ideas that helped me to do it:

I went for Permissionless apprenticeship. For the first 40 days I contributed without asking for money because I wanted to see how many load I can carry before I create an invoice.
I specialized in a Niche with rich people. As
@Andrew Kirby
pointed out, why work with those who can't pay much when you can collaborate with those who can. The amount of content creation input is the same, the output is disproportional. I specialize in the tech niche. People here are wealthy and not many content creators can dig deep enough, so the supply is low. A perfect combo.
I forwent my Telegram channel and focused on providing value for those who can pay. And it worked.
Serendipity worked in my favor. I took part in several non-profit projects, did a lot of networking and made content that didn't pay off immediately. All those factors lead me to the client I now work for. So it's always a good idea to work consistenty and not ask for favors. You never know how all the things in an interconnected world will play out.
I read a Never Split the Difference. This book helped me to increase my income x4 this year. Incredible advice, thanks to
@Corey Bennett Boardman
for die hard promoting it.
And of course I got insipred by this community and
@Andrew Kirby
himself. Thank you for guidance and breaking beliefs that don't serve us.
