see you tomorrow for the live stream oh how long you've been freelancing now how many years so the first website that website was in NUMBER_TOKEN my first NUMBER_TOKEN bucks website and why did you pick NUMBER_TOKEN bucks like how do you know how much to charge a client that's a pretty popular question you get your client how you know how much to charge what's your process I would go on google search for a local web dev company and I could see like they're selling maybe a thousand bucks for a landing page five thousand four three to five pages and what I've did what I made is like in an Excel spreadsheet put all my competitors in there see how much the church and I set myself way too low so like it was so like I maybe I could have charged two thousand or something like that for that website but it was the first one I didn't really know what I was doing and I wanted the check right so um did you get a like a sense of their budget or anything did you ask I I went in there they said we need a website how much is it and I was like $NUMBER_TOKEN or if I want I don't remember what it was but I didn't know what they wanted so in the end I made like NUMBER_TOKEN bucks an hour on that project but I learned a lot how much how many projects do you have in your belt now I have around NUMBER_TOKEN website now how do you build your client base so to that date I still don't have my own website every project I get is firm word of mouth or talking too much about what I do in life or telling people that they could get way more business or optimize their opportunities by having a website so walk me through how you get a client you're going to get your haircut do you just hand her your card how does that go how do you get close I recently got business cards because I've always hated bad stuff like it's I feel it's uh we're in a modern age now we don't need we have cell phones if someone really wants to make business with you they'll give you their numbers you don't need to have those cards but uh it's still it's still work right so I went there the first time I didn't push or anything like you don't know you don't know the place you get a feel of it and I went on their website while I was getting my haircut and um I've noticed that their website was in construction supposed to be launched six months ago right so I I told them do you have someone or is your website coming out then they told me like the person who was in charge that didn't work well and they were looking for someone so it was like hey this is what I do maybe I can not but still I didn't have a folio to show I just told them I could deliver so what do you think what do you think about WordPress in the future is it still gonna be viable for freelancing look what what business case have you found it used for the most so like that's that's a debatable topic right so we'll Wix and WordPress replace people like Josh I don't think it will I think right now WordPress is giving people like me a great opportunity to help business grow WordPress will never be as optimized as a website made by team of the eff custom but sometimes a customer may only have like two five key budget four big project so this is where WordPress and plugins come in these for a
