What Does It Mean To Become
A Freelancer?
1. Freelancers spend more time relaxing
2. Freelancing is hard
3. People enter freelancing because they can't get a job
4. Quality of work is crappy
5. Freelancers are cheap labor
Myths vs. Facts
It depends.
Many beginning freelancers work for more than
60 hours a week.
Many successful freelancers work just 20 hours
or less.
What is my daily schedule going to
be like?
● Write a to-do list first thing in the morning
● At the end of the day see if you accomplished
everything on your list
● Reward yourself for your hard work
How to stay motivated when I'm all alone?
Benefits of being a freelancer vs. having a
JOB...why, there's no choice!
● Unlimited earning potential
● Freedom to grow in your field without boundaries
● You control almost everything (rates, schedule, etc)
● No boss breathing down your neck
Is there a quick test to know if
freelancing is really for me?
Being a freelancer means working alone most of the
time. In your own room or home office or in a coffee
shop. It's more of a solitary venture, are you up for it?
Do you enjoy working alone?
One of the pitfalls of beginners is that their motivation
drops to near zero just after one month.
Remember, you'll be sitting in front of your computer
for several hours a day without having to talk to
anyone.
Can you self-motivate?
Budgeting is probably one of the hardest thing to do,
since you will need the foresight to know how much
you earn and how much you can spend, both for your
needs and wants.
Can you budget your expenses vs.
income?
Many people think that freelancing fits introverts. It's
far from that. Because with freelancing, in order to be
successful, you will need to keep on talking to people
and build professional relationships. And of course,
building a wide web of connections means you'll have
to be flexible and reliable, otherwise people would
ask, "why should we even give a thought about you?"
Are you flexible, reliable, and social in
nature?
Are you secure enough to live without the
safety net of a regular paycheck?
It will be a tough road, at least at first, and there is no
regular paycheck. You make money based on how
hard you work, unlike with having a regular job and a
monthly flat rate.
How hard is it for an absolute
beginner to get the ball rolling?
● Are you starting out while employed already?
● Do you have the ability to absorb new information and spend a lot of
time learning new skills?
● Can you dedicate 20 hours or more per week to transitioning?
If you answered YES to the three questions above, then you can get
started in just two weeks, provided you keep a strict schedule!
If you want a shortcut, we suggest shortening the process by going to our
www.1wd.tv bootcamp where we teach people how to go right for the
payday from solving client "pain" on WordPress.org.
How hard is it for an absolute beginner to
get the ball rolling?
Can you provide an overview of
what's it like to be a beginner?
I have always been a freelancer in one way or another,
so it's hard to say that I recognized it being any
different. In general though, it is exciting to know that I
have a fresh start and everything is mine to build.
What was it like starting as a freelancer?
It's always a challenge to find one's niche and
monetize. You have to think of relationships first, and
the money will come later. When you are bootstrapped,
this is sometimes nerve-wracking...especially if you
have a family and other financial obligations to pay in
the meantime.
What are the troubles you faced? Did you
almost quit?
I had to build up my credibility. People were skeptical. I
overcame this with my persistence, passion, and
intimate knowledge of a very specific niche.
How did people treat you?
Is 26 or 30 years old too late to start
freelancing?
Whether you are single or you have your own family
already, even if you're already in your 40s, as long as
you wish to do freelancing no one is stopping you!
Irrelevant! Age is irrelevant!
What is the current state of the
freelancing industry?
● Corporate downsizing has pushed a large number of white collar workers into
a position of starting their own small businesses.
● Having an online presence is now MANDATORY vs. a few years ago when it
was optional.
● Mobile Web Devices are suggested to grow x100 as they move into non-
western countries. These will exponentially increase the demand for
Freelance pain solving.
There has never been a better time to be a
freelancer!
Is freelancing better than having a
regular job?
Not a better or worse comparison, they are different animals. Freelancing
requires you to be the problem SOLVER, a job requires you to complete a
designated task.
If you find yourself believing that you have a better way to solve most problems
than the specific TASK assigned to you, then you should consider freelancing.
Freelancing is now judged as an economical accessory to many corporations.
In what ways freelancing is better?
What are the do's and don'ts of
freelancing?
● Build relationships
● Never humiliate a client to anyone, especially other clients (Golden Rule)
● Always ask for referrals when you've done good work
● Maintain at least five active client leads at all times
● Don't waste time on things that don't produce income
● Under promise and over deliver
● Always receive at least 50% upfront payment via PayPal or Credit Card
● NEVER deliver a finished website to a client's server without payment in full
Don't forget to jot these down!
How can I get started?
Build Earn $300 from 3 clients in as little as 3 days by going for the low hanging
fruit...the pain points that can be solved on WordPress with some basic skills. This
is what we teach in our 1wd.tv bootcamp!
This is where we teach people in detail about the "shortcut" we mentioned earlier.
But more on that later, let's move on to the tools and skills you will need to learn
and use!
$300 in 3 days from 3 clients!
What tools and skills do you
recommend to learn?
● WordPress
● CSS
● Basic HTML
● Basic PHP
● Basic graphics with vector tools (Keynote or
Powerpoint)
● Basic free image manipulation tools (http://pixlr.
com)
Required tools to learn!
How long would it take for a novice to
be able to create a WordPress site?
● Basic skills in one day
● Full websites with features within a week
● Complex features with advanced functionality in
four weeks
Just four weeks from zero to awesome!
What about clients?
How difficult is it for a beginner to
find clients to work with?
WordPress.org is literally "swimming" with potential
customers for the pain points and low hanging fruits
1. Go to WordPress.org, job boards to locate pain
you can solve
2. Write those tasks down
3. Take action, write proposal email - reach out to
your first client!
4. Follow-Up in few hours
It's not difficult at all, especially with the
"low hanging fruits"
What is the best approach
for my skill level?
How should I persuade a client?
● What I suggest is studying first and try to create your own website so
that you will have a firsthand experience of what to expect.
● Do pro-bono work if you're ready to jump into the market, this will be
your stepping stone most likely, something that will help you ascend.
● Be humble and tell them straight up that you are a beginner.
● But with this skill level, it'll be better to target and talk with beginners
as well, those who absolutely have no idea how websites work!
If you're an absolute beginner...
What should I do after my
first project?
● Upsell client on additional services, especially recurring revenue items
(outlined in 1wd.tv bootcamp)
● Ask for a testimonial and eventually build up your portfolio
● Send a thank you note to your client for giving you the opportunity of working
with him/her
Done with your first project? It's not over
yet!
With that being said.. (Summary)
● before setting out to become a freelancer you will need to be very sure
about your current status and future plans
● freelancing is easy, but starting out is hard because it will take up all of
your time
● it's fairly easy to "fish" for clients, they're everywhere!
What you can do now? Two
things:
1. Take action: Follow 3 step formula to success
2.Take it a step further: Sign up for program : 3 days, 3
clients, $300 - save time on trial and error. You will not have
to learn on your own anymore!

  • 3. If you really are serious about getting clients, make sure you pay attention: ● Turn off Facebook, Twitter, any other social network! ● Make sure nothing will distract you throughout the next hour! ● Prepare pen and paper and get ready to take some notes! Shut down all your distractions!
  • 4. ● What Does It Mean To Become A Freelancer? ● Take Quick Test To Check If Freelancing Is Really For You ● Do's And Don'ts Of Freelancing ● Which Tools You Should Learn To Use! ● Why Freelancing Can And Will Turn Your Dreams into Reality ● Learn How To Find Your Very First Client! ● ..and more myths and confusions cleared away..! What you will learn today?
  • 5. Our 1stWebDesigner Mission Your hosts: To help you: ● Get you started as a Freelancer ● Obtain and keep clients ● Live the "dream" Internet lifestyle you deserve! Dainis Graveris Founder of 1stwebdesigner.com Spencer Forman Founder of LabZip.com & LabSecrets.com
  • 6. What Does It Mean To Become A Freelancer?
  • 7. 1. Freelancers spend more time relaxing 2. Freelancing is hard 3. People enter freelancing because they can't get a job 4. Quality of work is crappy 5. Freelancers are cheap labor Myths vs. Facts
  • 8. It depends. Many beginning freelancers work for more than 60 hours a week. Many successful freelancers work just 20 hours or less. What is my daily schedule going to be like?
  • 9. ● Write a to-do list first thing in the morning ● At the end of the day see if you accomplished everything on your list ● Reward yourself for your hard work How to stay motivated when I'm all alone?
  • 10. Benefits of being a freelancer vs. having a JOB...why, there's no choice! ● Unlimited earning potential ● Freedom to grow in your field without boundaries ● You control almost everything (rates, schedule, etc) ● No boss breathing down your neck
  • 11. Is there a quick test to know if freelancing is really for me?
  • 12. Being a freelancer means working alone most of the time. In your own room or home office or in a coffee shop. It's more of a solitary venture, are you up for it? Do you enjoy working alone?
  • 13. One of the pitfalls of beginners is that their motivation drops to near zero just after one month. Remember, you'll be sitting in front of your computer for several hours a day without having to talk to anyone. Can you self-motivate?
  • 14. Budgeting is probably one of the hardest thing to do, since you will need the foresight to know how much you earn and how much you can spend, both for your needs and wants. Can you budget your expenses vs. income?
  • 15. Many people think that freelancing fits introverts. It's far from that. Because with freelancing, in order to be successful, you will need to keep on talking to people and build professional relationships. And of course, building a wide web of connections means you'll have to be flexible and reliable, otherwise people would ask, "why should we even give a thought about you?" Are you flexible, reliable, and social in nature?
  • 16. Are you secure enough to live without the safety net of a regular paycheck? It will be a tough road, at least at first, and there is no regular paycheck. You make money based on how hard you work, unlike with having a regular job and a monthly flat rate.
  • 17. How hard is it for an absolute beginner to get the ball rolling?
  • 18. ● Are you starting out while employed already? ● Do you have the ability to absorb new information and spend a lot of time learning new skills? ● Can you dedicate 20 hours or more per week to transitioning? If you answered YES to the three questions above, then you can get started in just two weeks, provided you keep a strict schedule! If you want a shortcut, we suggest shortening the process by going to our www.1wd.tv bootcamp where we teach people how to go right for the payday from solving client "pain" on WordPress.org. How hard is it for an absolute beginner to get the ball rolling?
  • 19. Can you provide an overview of what's it like to be a beginner?
  • 20. I have always been a freelancer in one way or another, so it's hard to say that I recognized it being any different. In general though, it is exciting to know that I have a fresh start and everything is mine to build. What was it like starting as a freelancer?
  • 21. It's always a challenge to find one's niche and monetize. You have to think of relationships first, and the money will come later. When you are bootstrapped, this is sometimes nerve-wracking...especially if you have a family and other financial obligations to pay in the meantime. What are the troubles you faced? Did you almost quit?
  • 22. I had to build up my credibility. People were skeptical. I overcame this with my persistence, passion, and intimate knowledge of a very specific niche. How did people treat you?
  • 23. Is 26 or 30 years old too late to start freelancing?
  • 24. Whether you are single or you have your own family already, even if you're already in your 40s, as long as you wish to do freelancing no one is stopping you! Irrelevant! Age is irrelevant!
  • 25. What is the current state of the freelancing industry?
  • 26. ● Corporate downsizing has pushed a large number of white collar workers into a position of starting their own small businesses. ● Having an online presence is now MANDATORY vs. a few years ago when it was optional. ● Mobile Web Devices are suggested to grow x100 as they move into non- western countries. These will exponentially increase the demand for Freelance pain solving. There has never been a better time to be a freelancer!
  • 27. Is freelancing better than having a regular job?
  • 28. Not a better or worse comparison, they are different animals. Freelancing requires you to be the problem SOLVER, a job requires you to complete a designated task. If you find yourself believing that you have a better way to solve most problems than the specific TASK assigned to you, then you should consider freelancing. Freelancing is now judged as an economical accessory to many corporations. In what ways freelancing is better?
  • 29. What are the do's and don'ts of freelancing?
  • 30. ● Build relationships ● Never humiliate a client to anyone, especially other clients (Golden Rule) ● Always ask for referrals when you've done good work ● Maintain at least five active client leads at all times ● Don't waste time on things that don't produce income ● Under promise and over deliver ● Always receive at least 50% upfront payment via PayPal or Credit Card ● NEVER deliver a finished website to a client's server without payment in full Don't forget to jot these down!
  • 31. How can I get started?
  • 32. Build Earn $300 from 3 clients in as little as 3 days by going for the low hanging fruit...the pain points that can be solved on WordPress with some basic skills. This is what we teach in our 1wd.tv bootcamp! This is where we teach people in detail about the "shortcut" we mentioned earlier. But more on that later, let's move on to the tools and skills you will need to learn and use! $300 in 3 days from 3 clients!
  • 33. What tools and skills do you recommend to learn?
  • 34. ● WordPress ● CSS ● Basic HTML ● Basic PHP ● Basic graphics with vector tools (Keynote or Powerpoint) ● Basic free image manipulation tools (http://pixlr. com) Required tools to learn!
  • 35. How long would it take for a novice to be able to create a WordPress site?
  • 36. ● Basic skills in one day ● Full websites with features within a week ● Complex features with advanced functionality in four weeks Just four weeks from zero to awesome!
  • 37. What about clients? How difficult is it for a beginner to find clients to work with?
  • 38. WordPress.org is literally "swimming" with potential customers for the pain points and low hanging fruits 1. Go to WordPress.org, job boards to locate pain you can solve 2. Write those tasks down 3. Take action, write proposal email - reach out to your first client! 4. Follow-Up in few hours It's not difficult at all, especially with the "low hanging fruits"
  • 39. What is the best approach for my skill level? How should I persuade a client?
  • 40. ● What I suggest is studying first and try to create your own website so that you will have a firsthand experience of what to expect. ● Do pro-bono work if you're ready to jump into the market, this will be your stepping stone most likely, something that will help you ascend. ● Be humble and tell them straight up that you are a beginner. ● But with this skill level, it'll be better to target and talk with beginners as well, those who absolutely have no idea how websites work! If you're an absolute beginner...
  • 41. What should I do after my first project?
  • 42. ● Upsell client on additional services, especially recurring revenue items (outlined in 1wd.tv bootcamp) ● Ask for a testimonial and eventually build up your portfolio ● Send a thank you note to your client for giving you the opportunity of working with him/her Done with your first project? It's not over yet!
  • 43. With that being said.. (Summary) ● before setting out to become a freelancer you will need to be very sure about your current status and future plans ● freelancing is easy, but starting out is hard because it will take up all of your time ● it's fairly easy to "fish" for clients, they're everywhere!
  • 44. What you can do now? Two things: 1. Take action: Follow 3 step formula to success 2.Take it a step further: Sign up for program : 3 days, 3 clients, $300 - save time on trial and error. You will not have to learn on your own anymore!
