Week 4 update β€” $42 earned, domain live, PayPal connected

Hey IH πŸ‘‹

Quick Week 4 update on my $20k in 6 months challenge.

This week:
β†’ Closed my first Fiverr order β€” $15
β†’ Total revenue now $42
β†’ Bought my portfolio domain β€” thomascode.dev
β†’ Linked PayPal to Fiverr for withdrawals
β†’ X following growing daily
β†’ 10 cold DMs sent last week β€” 0 replies yet

The first money came faster than expected.
The first reply from a cold DM is still pending.

One question for IH β€” how long did it take before your cold DMs started converting?
