I made >$8k in my first month as a no-code freelancer. I made a LOT of mistakes.
Here are my top 5 learnings
Here are my top 5 learnings
1. Stay away from job boards.
Instead, I work with prominent no-code agencies like @minimumssstudio, @LuhhuHQ & @optemized. Better connections, portfolio & clients than job boards. Communicate proactively ('Hey, I've seen your message and will respond tomorrow morning').

2. Don’t lose sight of your dream.
I had success in writing technical content. Before I knew it, I was flooded with writing gigs. I had to remind myself that I quit my job because I wanted to make software, not to write.

3. Don’t forget about important and non-urgent tasks.
When an agency asks me to start another project, I want to jump on it. But after a month of freelancing, I still havent spent any time on my own website or branding.

4. Don't spend too much time on work.
I used to work 4 days a week because I value work-life balance. Now I’m so busy it slipped back to 5. There will always be more work to do, so schedule your free time.

5. Don’t let productivity determine your mood.
You don't spend time as effectively as you think. On my most productive days, I felt I was working 9h, but time tracking revealed it was more like 6,5 - 7h. That's OK, taking breaks is important!
