Entrepreneurship, how do these people do it?

Comments

Recently I’ve come across this competition that the wonderful state of Texas, yee haw?, holds every year. At first I thought that I might have had a chance with my little freelancing job… not that it’s much of a business, but hey, I’ve designed for over 20 websites at the moment. Anyways, when I actually read over what the past winners have accomplished, my confidence meter took a hard blow.

You’ll understand if you just go through this website.

What a shocker. I bet these young, hardworking people are set for life at this point.

  2. You know… I was in the process of doing that. But a sudden urge to be lazy struck me, and well… here I am, still portfolio-less :cry:

  3. I’ve had that “sudden” urge for the past couple days, been to lazy to do anything. I’ll eventually start doing stuff, and i’m sure you will too :)

  4. Heh… I’ll do my best :wink:
    Although, most of my efforts have been focused on commissions and or Roodesigns…

    Did you notice the 138 visitors yesterday?… I thought it was a typo on the script’s part at first :shock:

  5. Do you have a lot of people who hire you??
    I really wanna see that portfolio :eek:

    It’s because Cinthya, the girl I did the review on put the link on her page, and she has a huge fan following. I also got like 3,000 friend requests because my link was on it as well :smile:

  6. oops if you go to the hire-a-roo part and scroll down the contact form doesn’t work.

  7. Ahh… no wonder, I thought that must have been the reason.

    And well, I’m working on two pretty big projects for a few professional sites… so that’s exciting. I’ll probably put up the portfolio after those two projects are completed.

    And the form works now… I forgot that I was still using contact form 7 for some of the stuff on the site :???:

  8. Oh wow, that’s exciting. I’ve seen sites who brag about how what they make is so amazing and professional, and how they charged 500 dollars. I just laugh thinking about how what you can do is 233434 times better and more affordable.

    can’t wait :D

  9. Wow… $500.00…

  12. (This is a mass comment I’m sending to all of my affiliates, just to let you know. Haha.)
    Hello Affiliate,
    This is Mike from (what used to be) starttocope.com. For some reasons you probably don’t care about, I had to switch from .com to .org, making my new URL starttocope.org. I would appeciate it if you would change you link. :)
    Thanks,
    Mike

  13. Haha, thanks.

    But yeah, what happened was while switching hosts, somehow my hosts lost their owning (?) of my domain. But, it’s all good now. :cool:
