Thank you, I am 14 years old and I have decided to start to plan a free lancing small business, to gain experience for my overall job goals, and this video has, along with the other support I have received through parents etc, helped me so much set up a foundation. Thank you for making this an entertaining easy to follow video, very much appreciate it!
This was a very helpful video. Thank you and great job!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hey thank you so much for this video, you are truly an inspiration and share my passion for web design and helping clients build their business🙂 I've chosen a niche that I have knowledge of and a hungry audience who need my services. I so agree about niching down in this saturated market and you should always think outside the box of ways to stand out🙂
Exactly! It's important to set yourself apart.
hi, i've decided to try and start my own web dev business from home, whilst also finishing my first year of web dev study. would offering web dev services be possible with minimal experience of coding languages (html, css, js etc.)? would this be possible with just squarespace wordpress etc? may be a silly question but i am keen on learning.
Thank you so much, Galen! This was really helpful and inspiring 😍 I´ve been freelancing for 7 years as a writer and journalist, and the transition to a business owner is a big one actually!
You got this! So glad you found this video helpful.
Saturation?
There's always a way to differentiate yourself!
All the more reason to niche down and stand out from the crowd😊
