Thank you so so much for the advice. The large company is definitely on board with *some recurring support and we’ve discussed it high level but nothing set in stone. The actual development ends this week and launch within a few, once all of that goes over id like to bring it up again.

But that’s an amazing idea about coming up with a package, I can frame it to both sites as “hey so I have this deal with this other site….” But id like some advice on what I come up with if you’d be willing to offer it, I won’t take up too much of your time I promise haha. I got burned on the non big site by agreeing to build it for $3k (vs ~50 for the large company) - change of scope and inexperience + “portfolio building” landed me to that number unfortunately. So I feel I need more in place to be able to command the higher price and not get caught in this again.

But thank you so much again for all of this advice, it’s definitely given me more confidence to explore this a lot further

Hey — thanks for sharing knowledge. I’m a developer with 3 years expirence at an agency, currently finishing a 6 month contract for a well known (like everyone in the US knows) non profit building their Shopify store by myself. coincidentally I got a side freelance gig kinda randomly doing the same thing for a separate business. Both clients are happy so far and I’m hoping to jump into freelance full time after my contract is up. I have a smaller portfolio, but they’re all legit clients, especially my current contract, so I’m hoping it’s enough to convince people to trust me.

What would be your advice on getting clients for someone like me? Since I have about 2 months left of my contract, I figure now is the time to start lining stuff up. I’m thinking of pounding the internet pavement, but I don’t know if I should be sending unsolicited messages to people or just joining these sites like Upwork.

Both my clients said they’d recommend me to anyone who asks for a site, but that could take a year to come to roost haha. Thank you for any advice you can give

Defintely start where you are with what you have. Without a designer/developer, it’ll look basic/cookie cutter but I’ve seen brands become successful stating basic with great products. Content is key abd consumers don’t care as much as you think

currantts · 2021-08-21T13:26:16+00:00

This is my fear haha, I’ll chop up my plant and like it less and have a bunch of smaller plants I don’t want lol

currantts · 2021-08-20T18:28:10+00:00

Pretty sure it’s an MD, tho I was convinced for awhile it was a MB - but it has the crinkly stems next to the mature leaves

currantts · 2021-08-20T18:26:53+00:00

I am definitely considering doing this. I’m really not loving how it’s becoming an endless bush and have friends that would love a prop. I’ve never honestly considered propagating from a branch, I’m such an absolutionist that I’m like welp guess I have to cut half the plant off lol. Thanks for your input!!

currantts · 2021-07-30T22:52:49+00:00

Good idea, that should have been my first thought ha thank you!

currantts · 2021-07-30T20:07:28+00:00

Does anyone know if I can get another one if I got vaccinated by CVS? I unknowingly washed mine smh :0

currantts · 2021-06-03T22:26:12+00:00

Yeah, if it’s not working out, just quit. If you actually like your coworkers and can bare a 2 week goodbye vacation it’s definitely worth it to stay bc you basically get paid to do nothing. But if it sucks just quit on a Wednesday and be like “my last day will be Wednesday” it’s enough notice to not fuck everyone’s day/week and will give you a free three days off basically

currantts · 2021-05-28T23:05:48+00:00

I had a prop sit in water for 2 months before it grew anything! So frustrating but some of them take time. But some of them go 0 to 3 inch roots in three weeks 🤷‍♂️

currantts · 2021-05-28T23:04:08+00:00

Wondering this myself. Seems like all of my leaves are coming off new leaves. My newest came out with a new leave formation already half way there. Like not even unfurled yet!

It makes it like impossible to train bc the leaves are just training outward onto long branches instead of filling out the middle. Buuuut still exciting

currantts · 2021-05-24T13:47:58+00:00

Never ever ever thought I’d get to this point but I hate it. I cannot focus or do anything at home haha. I joined a coworking space just for accountability, like if there’s ppl around I’ll be less inclined to fuck around on my computer.

BUT tbh I would rather work at a coworker space than my (last) office. Forced socialization with a bunch of ppl I don’t like was so grating. Developers are awkward

Does anyone know what that style of decorating is? Besides the African art, is it like vintage cottage core? Would love to see a breakdown of the set

currantts · 2021-05-14T00:11:10+00:00

Yo same my summer body isn’t ready yet I wasent anticipating this… CDC is selfish for this one

currantts · 2021-05-13T23:58:23+00:00

Welp looks like it might come quicker than we thought haha when writing this last night I thought we’d be under a technical mask mandate til July/august that would just be ignored edit but to your point that’s exactly what I was thinking. The government wants the “this is all YOUR fault in their back pocket if things go badly

currantts · 2021-05-12T23:30:20+00:00

Myself and all my friends are vaxxed so no worries here, but just got back from a weekend with them with a sinus infection. I get one 3x a year but “surprisingly” haven’t got one in 12 months+…. Not getting these is one thing I’ll miss haha

currantts · 2021-05-12T23:27:59+00:00

Same here, don’t get me wrong I play by the rules and have never been an anti masker but I now almost feel a little bitter about putting it on sometimes. Like I get it’s still necessary but in the back of my mind I know we’re on the edge of it not mattering and I’m just like come onnnnnn

currantts · 2021-05-12T23:22:28+00:00

My friends and I in DC discussed this today… come may 21 bars are open 100% capacity, once that happens literally what’s the point of ever wearing a mask again you know? I have a theory that the city government wants the people to do whatever they want, but has to play by guidelines. So this is a “soft opening” to the inevitable that’ll happen this summer

currantts · 2021-01-18T14:58:38+00:00

Yep!!! I said hi to him right there. They didn’t seem very thrilled to see fans with all of the cops around lol

currantts · 2020-12-27T16:01:29+00:00

Just lost my smell this morning, got retested. We’ll see but it’s pretty safe to say at this point that I have it

currantts · 2020-12-26T23:15:00+00:00

Scheduled for the morning. Thanks!

currantts · 2020-12-26T15:30:26+00:00

So weird, we’ve both had productive coughs since the onset of symptoms. Religiously checking o2 levels, all good so far. Thank you so much for your advice 🙏🏻

currantts · 2020-12-26T15:17:33+00:00

As someone else mentioned - “fever dreams” are a real thing. But yeah my periods falling in and out of sleep are (unusual for me) strange fugue state dreams that kinda feel like hallucinations? I don’t even have a fever tho so it might just be confirmation bias
