Got my first customer 🎉

So, it's happened. Yesterday I had my first client sign up to nocodebydesign.com and best of all, it came from within one of the private Slack groups I'm part of.

So the coming weeks are going to be exciting and a great chance to help form my offer. I've told my customer to hit me with everything he's got and just send over all the feedback he can muster too.

It's already proving to be valuable...and also see that my prices will be going up.

I'm still grinding away at the cold outreach, and while it's generating interest, it's not producing customers... Yet.

Will update here as things progress.

    Woah, nice :) Curious what was the context behind the whole thing: Did he/she posted they were hiring for a designer? Was it you having a conversation about something totally unrelated?

      Thanks. It came from a Slack group I'm in. I'd been talking about it in there and they approached me. Nice and easy :)
