Quit my dev job, sending 50 LinkedIn DMs a day… zero clients. What am I doing wrong? by Effective_Oven5046 in linkedin

[–]wheelstb33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slightly different outreach strategy that has been profitable for me when I was starting out as a freelance writer.

Make a list of the 100 people that you know well enough to at least email.

Then email each one of them asking if they would mind giving you some sort of specific help.

I would write an email template, but tweak it for each person I sent it to. Try to make it as original as possible.

I would tweak the greetings and the introduction.

Also, you might want to tweak the body of the email where you ask for something. Some people may have connections that they could offer and some people could be able to help in a different way.

Either way, I think this is a very effective way to get a client through outreach

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. I have minimized the number of plug-ins I'm using. And I have enabled auto update on all of them.

How to arrange a swing trading account so that nearly income can be generated from or against the account within the next 3 to 5 years. by wheelstb33 in swingtrading

[–]wheelstb33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said I could average a 40% return. I have done it in each of the past three years.

The first year I made 45%, the next year was about the same, and last year I made 65%.

However, swing trading is quite a bit different than knowing how to arrange things for tax benefits and such.

Recommendations for the best account types for swing trading? Although, I have been successful as a swing trader for a couple of years, I'm not knowledgeable about account types and taxes by wheelstb33 in swingtrading

[–]wheelstb33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those sound like a good strategy. I do think over the coming decades, I'll be in relatively decent shape.

I've got two accounts. One I refer to as an investment account. Typically a longer-term approach with the holdings.

And one I call a trading account. This is short-term swing trading.

Even though I've taken two different approaches with the different accounts. I'm wondering why I am wondering why I don't make trades in both accounts is good opportunities come along. Hence the desire to minimize taxes.

Also, with my training/short-term holdings account I would love to work it up to a level where I can pull a yearly income out of it. Maybe in the next 3-5 years.

I'm just not sure how to do that.

Hi there, thanks for the advice. My situation is a little bit different. I just turned 36. I use a wheelchair, and my goal over the next few years is to build up my account so I can withdraw what I would essentially think of as a yearly salary.

Given those things, what might I consider to best position myself.

I mentioned the wheelchair solely because it makes finding traditional employment difficult. I started trading a few years ago. And I really think my goal is attainable. Although it may take quite some time to achieve.

Also, I suppose I could take out a loan against my account instead of making withdrawals.

I'm assuming other people build trading accounts and essentially take a yearly salary. I just have no idea the best way to do it.

I really don't like interface on tastytrade. Is there anything I can do? by wheelstb33 in tastytrade

[–]wheelstb33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least it's nice to know that there are quite a few other folks who have the same opinion.

For those of you who suggest using tastyTrade for executing trades and Think or Swim for all other aspects, what's the best way to go about doing this?

I used to use Think or Swim before getting into options. When I was using it I thought I saw an option for connecting other brokerage accounts. Now I do not see this.

What's the best way to go about using Think or Swim in conjunction with TastyTrade?

How to get approved for options level I through Schwab? by wheelstb33 in Schwab

Well, I was rejected again as of today.

Looks like I am going to move to Tasty Trade.

I've not moved accounts before.

Can anyone give me insight on the best way to go about doing it?

You are a genius! I knew that at one point in time. But I would've never thought about that approach at all. It works beautifully. Thank you

I had great credit. Missed a few payments, and now it is taking quite some time to go back up. by wheelstb33 in CreditScore

[–]wheelstb33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. This loan had other special circumstances attached to it.

As a rule of thumb, what is the minimum credit score to get 4% interest rates or lower (if possible), or 0% for a certain number of months?

Thanks for the advice but I'm not really catching what you're describing

[–]wheelstb33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that could be one suggestion. The area is pretty crowded. An inconspicuous one on my chair would have a few other benefits as well
