This week: 2 proposals still pending 1 build for myself 1 automated rejection letter (deeply personal) 1 new hotel lead Building a freelance business is just collecting nos until a yes changes everything. Still collecting. #FreelanceLife #n8n #BuildInPublic

Applied to 3 automation jobs. Crickets. Meanwhile, someone from LinkedIn DM'd asking if I'm available for a project (still see it as a lead for now). The jobs you apply for ignore you. The ones you build in public find you. Crazy how that works. #n8n #Freelance #BuildInPublic

3years later, I still haven't received my payment. The project involved me doing design and Webflow development for a guy from FHG who reached out to me because he liked my designs, I used to create nice websites back then. I completed the work, but when it came time for payment, I started hearing excuses. This situation is a perfect example of why I dislike working with certain Nigerians.

One of the things I learnt from my journey is you just have to keep trying and showing up… you might not get help from the people you look up to but from the people around you… my best gigs came from referrals by friends and colleagues I met during my journey

Rather than manually going to the website. I build this: Scheduled daily Scrap last 24hrs funded articles Decision makers full name LinkedIn Url Cold dm LinkedIn bot is very strict with extentions and I don't want to use email permutations either. 3 already responded via dm.

Cold emailing challenge for the month of MAy. Do this before this month ends 1. Go to finsmes.com 2. Scrape all the startups that were recently funded 3. Look them up on LinkedIn. Alternatively, you can also use google (google AI answer mode is super smart that it can directly give you the name of decision makers). For instance, if abc shows up on finsme website, you can say “who is the founder of ABC” on google 4. Once you look them up on LinkedIn, connect with them. This is where it gets more interesting. We want to connect and also mail them. How then can we get their contacts? Read on 5.

5 months in and I'm realizing: Building workflows is 30% of the job. Understanding the client's problem/exposure is 70%. Nobody teaches you this part. You learn by messing up. I've messed up plenty times. Getting better though is the comeback. #n8n #ClientWork #RealLessons

Is it just me or a lot of people have dropped out of building on X? If you're still here, say 'Hi' please.

Week summary: 1 midnight client call (closed) 1 discovery call (learned I don't know everything) 1 ghosted lead (still hurts) 1 delivered project (feels incredible) Freelancing isn't a straight line. It's chaos with occasional wins. Today, I'm locked with @omoalhajaabiola

Forgot to make the repo private after turning it public to connect to render. And he saw it when I sent him my mail to add me to his git. I panicked (which I should not have) and he saw through it and ended the contract. I did learn a couple of things from this and I'd share them.

AI isn't going to replace junior developers.. It's just going to turn senior developers into full-time code reviewers who spend all day debugging AI hallucinations.. 🫠

Nor let screenshot and success post wound you to the point of questioning your existence. Nobody dry their dirty undies in public, we all wanna look poach and classic in public. Many success story aren't verified, just story to keep TL alive. Work and Pray. Yours is near.

We often hear the statement “build publicly” but I think what matters more is the environment and platform you are publicly building on. On one hand, it means deeply understanding your client, including where they hang out, their typical daily problems, and what keeps them awake at night. Understanding this helps you craft a truly relevant offer. On the other, platform hacking lets you optimize your presence exactly where they are most active. For example, visual creators and designers who don’t have the bandwidth (or patience) for traditional freelancing platforms often land enterprise clients faster on LinkedIn than Twitter. SaaS developers, especially no-code web builders, tend to attract clients quicker on Twitter/X than LinkedIn. Given the visual nature and impulse-driven decisions involved in niches like e-commerce, fashion, and beauty, Instagram and Facebook become ideal for freelancers like graphic designers, branding experts, and social media managers. But what should you post and how? It depends on what you do. A strong before-and-after case study (carousel or thread) works incredibly well for visually-driven industries like design and branding. “Here’s what the brand looked like → here’s what it looks like now.” For developers, a technical breakdown of a real challenge and the solution, why you chose a particular stack, what it meant for the business, and the results delivered lands better. Data analysts can grab public datasets from Kaggle, analyze them, and share insights for their audience. Then tie it back to “What was your experience with this dataset? Why SQL over Python here? What does that customer cluster around X metric actually mean for their revenue?” In all, your content should be framed and designed for business outcomes and client ROI. Clients are desperately scanning for “how does this translate to more profits” anytime they read your post. That means your post should help them make more money or reduce their operating costs. Ask yourself “how does this translate to making money for my client or reduce their operating costs” before you hit that publish button The most important thing is posting with intentional context on the right platform, for the right audience in the right format. When you align those three, “build in public” stops being generic advice and starts becoming a predictable client pipeline.

I will be launching it this Sunday.

Nigerian freelancers are not broke because the market is hard. They're broke because they've been taught that charging well is "too expensive for Nigeria." That lie is costing people millions every single year. Let's talk about it 👇
