COLD DM!!!
You could be the most talented designer, marketer, writer, or coach…
But if no one knows you exist, you’ll keep getting ignored.
Visibility is more valuable than perfection.
A thread!🧵(Free Resources on last tweet)
Audacity and Hunger..
While a Full stack Dev is feeling he/she isn't good enough yet.
Someone with half the skill whose survival depends on the skill will hustle how to bag gigs before attaining mastery.
Why?
It's easier & better to master an income skill than a passion skill.
This tech industry is crazy
You will meet someone with just HTML CSS and JavaScript knowledge making a lot of money.
Then suprise to see a fullstack dev still struggling to earn his first pay.
AI models can’t handle real world complexity.
but it could change, OmniWorld, a huge multi-modal dataset capturing 3D + time.
better reconstruction, prediction, and video generation
Video generation will improve soon
On the side, if you can create a community and serve the community, the ROI will be massive on the long run.
It's one of the things I'm currently working on.
Quite sad that most people miss this big hack 👇
Want inbound clients?
•Go where your clients already gather
•Engage strategically
•Offer quick, helpful solutions to their problems
They’ll check out your profile… and eventually request your services.
I use this method, and it works! 💯

Hmm 🤔
Having wisdom doesn't mean the wisdom can't be old. There are too many variables to consider but if I am starting from scratch, I'll go for the $500 guy he's just starting out, he's hungry and has a point to prove.
You’re a newbie on Upwork.
You’re looking for a tutor to guide you on how the platform works so you can at least earn your first $$.
Between a guru freelancer that has earned $100K on the platform and one that just recently earned his first $500, who would you go under to learn how to earn your first $$?
For multitaskers like me out there,
Best bet is to Freelance and have a full-time remote job on the side.
The Full-time builds your confidence and helps you grow while you build your capacity as a freelancer. Once you quit full time, freelance for a while and start an agency
Techies starting out often face the choice between going freelance, applying for full-time roles, pursuing internships, or starting their own agency.
What advice would you give them?
A mentor once told me something that changed everything
Motivation won’t build your dream
If you wait for “good days” to post, you'll barely show up
Now, I show up even when I’m tired, busy & unmotivated
That discipline changed my growth
Show up for your dream daily
