Issue #22

It’s been a little while since I shared an update here.

Why?

Well, I’ve been moving house and have been busy with client work.

6 days a week kind of busy (first time I’ve ever worked weekends on client projects).

But now that I’ve moved house and have wrapped up a couple of projects, I want to share more content again.

It’s been an interesting few months as I’ve exclusively worked with 2 agencies.

Most of my time being taken up with a branding agency who do some incredible design work.

In short, I did development on 2 projects, and it seems I made a great impression with them and their clients.

But.

It was hard work managing 2 agency clients.

Mainly because agencies tend to want all your time (as clients want stuff ASAP).

And if I’m being honest, I felt a bit squeezed on these projects.

It was great to see how quickly I could push out a project to a great standard, but it left zero room for any hiccups.

So now that I’m getting some time back, I want to focus on the following for the next couple of months:

• Website refresh
• Start YouTube

I’ve not really updated my website in well over a year.

At least not the homepage (and let’s not talk about case studies).

I’m not fully sure about the updates yet, as I need to position myself correctly.

But I don’t want to overcomplicate it.

So I’ll share more updates on this next month.

With the house move and a busy work schedule, I’ve not had a chance to start  YouTube.

So first thing on my agenda is to come up with content ideas.

I’m going to try and avoid the perfection trap as I need to accept things aren’t going to be perfect in the beginning.

Funnily enough, someone left a comment on my only YouTube video from last year saying:

"Just wanted to say that I’d love for you to keep on doing some content, I know I’d appreciate it since I’m looking into being a freelancer as you are. Keep the videos coming, there’s definitely an audience for them”

So I’ll take that as a sign.
