Stock photos, but make them ACTUALLY interesting. 👀
A couple of years ago I came across Death to Stock and today, they have launched their DTS Booster Packs: free creative drops delivered by email, packed with visual assets, resources, insider knowledge, and even exclusive rewards.
Think collectible cards, but for creatives. Each pack has its own rarity, so you never know exactly what you’ll get.
If you’re a designer who loves finding fresh visual references, I’d recommend subscribing. It’s free!
Check it out here: https://dtsclaim.com/?ref=EMTSYA
Who else loves collecting visual resources they might need for a project someday? 😂
Great reminder for every freelancer.
Keep building, keep sharing, and let the opportunities follow. 🚀

Day 15/30 — Halfway Through My Freelancing Challenge! 🚀
15 days of showing up, learning, and trying to build my freelance career.
One thing I've realized:
Building a portfolio and building a freelance business are two completely different challenges.
Designing a landing page takes creativity and technical skills.
Finding clients requires something else:
Understanding what businesses actually need
Communicating the value of your work
Building trust before asking for a project
Staying consistent even when outreach doesn't get replies
I've been reaching out to potential clients, exploring freelance opportunities, and improving how I approach landing-page design.
No paid client yet, but I'm learning what it takes to get there.
My focus for the next 15 days: Less random outreach, more relevant conversations, and stronger portfolio case studies.
Halfway there. Still building. 💻

"building a portfolio and building a freelance business are two completely different challenges" is such a true line. what kind of outreach have you been doing so far, email or dms?
