1 marketing habit that brought me clients (even when my design wasn’t good)

From 2016 to 2019, I wasn’t a strong designer.
Most of my work looked average. And I knew it.

But I shared it anyway.

Every day, I posted whatever I designed. No polishing. No fear.
People commented. Some were negetive, some were inspirational.
I read everything and improved little by little.

That habit changed my career.
Not a perfect portfolio.
Not a big audience.
Just showing what I was learning openly.

Alhamdulillah, that simple habit opened every door for me.
And it’s the same habit that helped me build Panze - UX Design Studio.

If you’re starting out, start sharing.
Not when you’re “ready.”
Start with what you have.
