Much depends on what platform you are on. If you are an app - you need a marketing boost - can be done in multiple ways i.e. paid marketing, blog coverage, event launches, etc.

Sure, but I didn't find your email id in your profile.

Ok, I've never actually done cold calling. I don't like being on the receiving end of cold calls - so I figure others wouldn't like it either. But in person would be much better.

Sure, I've dropped you an email.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to keep doing cold emailing, though sometimes I feel that I'm just emailing a wall who never replies. I've read tons of books and courses on how to write best emails and I do follow them - it's just that clients already have a dev team or they are not looking to outsource at that point of time - which boils down to unresponsiveness.

'How much does an app cost' websites do solve a problem - they give the customer instant quote or estimate for their app. And it does also solve the 'getting clients' problem.

Ideally, I want to do something that's a win - win for both.

Thanks for the comment. I try to make my proposals in detail - include designs of the app that we're going to build. I haven't tried the prototype approach - I might try it next time. Just to be clear, you develop the prototype for the client's app, right? You would need access to the client's APIs, etc. which you might not have in a sales phase. I think using mock data is another way around this,

Follow up question, when you develop this prototype - In cases where the app is not very big, doesn't the client think that almost 50% of the work is done and hence may try getting this done in cheap?

Thanks for sharing. How exactly did this bring your freelance tasks? I mean you do not have any of your contact info on that page - so how would leads be generated?

Another follow up regarding this, did you market this page? If yes, on what channels and did you get a good response?

I do like the domain that you choose and the satire.

Thank you, I got it!

Thanks for replying.

I do that already. I talk to my past clients frequently - I do believe that they would recommend me whenever they get an opportunity - they've done so in the past. But it looks like I'm facing a dry spell right now for about last 2 months - which is a really long time for me. I think I'm wasting my time :-/

That is why I think building side projects which generate leads for me can be productive. Do you have any creative ideas for my side projects? I can build mobile apps and web apps.

Thanks dang for commenting. I would like to see my past contributions - is there a way to see them? I can't seem to find that option.

Why doesn't anyone comment on my posts :(
