£500K+ from freelancing in 4 years

👉 That’s the story of Tom Hirst, a freelance WordPress developer.

(£500K = $687K, so about $170K per year.)

Some key takeaways from Tom’s thread:

• 95% profit
• 7 years in business before his first £100K year
• Big on niching down
• 3-4 hours per day of focused work is plenty

And my favorite part…

Doing free work on the promise of paid work rarely works out.

Work for free for yourself to build enough reputation so that “clients” never ask you.

How to work for free for yourself:

– Self-initiate projects that prove the results of the service you want to sell
– Write articles and tutorials that make your expertise obvious
– Build an audience of connections that see you as an authority by helping people
