Quitting Web Development after 7 Years.... Journey to the Unknown

Got 5 more articles published today, plus I uploaded some good vids to the site's YouTube channel and engaged with a lot of people on G+ - where a lot of the site's traffic comes from.

No other updates for now, I'll post again tomorrow to report earnings because traffic is definitely up!
 
I have a "company" (not legit, yet, was just testing out the market) website where I offer monthly packages for the first time. I have literally just started promoting them about a week or two ago and have been talking to a few people who are interested. Right now I am advertising "online marketing" packages though, and I wanted to offer a free trial of some sort, so maybe I will so I can lock-in my first 5 clients. I have 4 different plans now, cheapest is $50 and most expensive is $750 - everyone who has been interested so far is interested in the most expensive one - so I might raise prices and offer more, if I can get 5 subscribers at $750/mo I will be in a much better place! :)

I think I will get a regular web design job instead of freelancing, and then focus on my website when I am not at work. Locking in those subscribers will give me some security, much better then hunting for freelance gigs constantly and hoping everyone pays me on time.

Thats whats up man.
Plan that shit out and execute it flawlessly!
 
None of the deals went through so I don't have any subscribers at the moment, very disappointing. Although, I haven't been putting in much work promoting my online marketing packages, so I am not surprised. Need to start contacting businesses today since its Monday and make this a really productive week for me, no more slacking!

As for freelancing - my work died down and now I have nothing going on. I applied for some jobs on elance yesterday, got a reply this morning and a Skype interview this afternoon. If everything goes smoothly I will have an extra $350, so I hope it does because I am behind on my hotel bill and stressed the f*** out.
 
I'd advise you to start your own web designing business. You can create your website first and come up with packages for local and medium size businesses in your area. Please keep in touch with them every day. I hope you will find good clients in few days.
