building that client portal was a very new experience for me, it made me realise that i need to invest in learning design principles bc I've never built anything that needed as much design as this did but i look forward to it tbh 🤭
If your agency is still chasing clients over email, this is what you're missing. Built with @airtable as the backend and @softr_io as the frontend
#BuildInPublic
I just built my first client portal with Airtable + Softr 💃🚀
-clients log in and see only their projects,
-deliverables tracked by status,
-feedback form writes straight to Airtable.

I already have an idea about my first post on LinkedIn infact, i can do this, i just haven't had the time and energy to sit down and think bc med school wan take my life that time. I have no excuses now.
This will work for me, speaking it into existence. I've been working on building a skill for the past 6 months nw and i am inducting next month so i can focus fully on putting myself out there to attract clients. Now to start my LinkedIn journey.
If you’re just finishing university in Nigeria and trying to move from $0 to. $5,000–$6,000 in a year, here’s what to do : I'm a living testimony I finished uni 2 years ago.
1. Learn a marketable skill. Something that can actually make you money online, design, marketing, automation, development, customer support, anything with global demand.
2. Stay where there’s stable electricity and internet. You’ll spend a lot on data, so plan for that. Your biggest investment right now is access.
3. Get on LinkedIn. Optimize your profile and start connecting. But don’t fill your network with only Nigerians. If you want to earn in dollars, connect internationally, especially in US states that are strong in tech and remote work. Do your research.
4. Don’t pitch. Build. As a beginner, you have no leverage yet. Don’t try to sell yourself, document your learning, show your progress, and post your journey publicly. People respect growth more than empty claims.
5. Build relationships through DMs. Don’t just send one message and disappear. Track who you’ve messaged with a Google Sheet so you can follow up, personalize, and build a genuine connection.
6. Use those relationships for freelance opportunities. If your Upwork isn’t verified yet, onboard clients from LinkedIn first. Then, once Upwork verifies you, you can use it for payments and credibility.
7. Always have a backup plan. When things get tight, you still have LinkedIn, DMs, and Upwork as your lifelines for finding opportunities.
8. Network smart. Get close to female freelancers or tech professionals, they often have stronger networks and are more open to sharing opportunities.
Broke ones will rise again.
But make LinkedIn your best friend.
