So....the Freelancing Era website is now live. (FINALLY and it's on Softr Studio) 💖
It’s basically a curated resource library of things I found genuinely helpful as a freelancer (solo entrepreneur we're called..right?)
You’ll find tools, websites (like sites to find work and clients), templates, YouTube videos, podcasts, books, posts, and other internet gems that I think are worth checking out. There's no rhyme or rhythm to when I'll add things but I'm sure I'll have at least one item to add to this directory every week since...I consume a bunch of stuff. I read at least 3 long form youtube videos a week and I'm always on the lookout for new cool tools.
I'm a curious creature, what.
Whether you’re just getting started or trying to upskill, hopefully this helps you find useful resources without drowning in information online (I mean....)
Hope you find a few hidden gems in there too.

Also, I've finally settled in Vancouver, Canada (after a long period of traveling), and I'm back to taking on freelance projects (design, build, ongoing improvements) and consultations/mentoring - DM me if you're interested!
It looks so smooth! Great work. I'm curious, what tool do you use for screen-recording? Love the cursor motion-blur.
The journey started with pen and paper. I used the same kind of notebook that I use to keep a diary. I had only heard of REST APIs. A little. Like what they were... And slowly, over the next 6 months, I picked up the structural understanding and shipped a consumer intelligence platform.
I am now building an MCP wrapper for Signalwatch. The right internship even pays $20 - $30 per hour. Previously, the highest I earned per hour was $2.2.
It was not earning more dollars that got me on this path. It was a clique that probably played a prank and told me that a person from wher I come from should not handle queries from certain big clients. long story..., and a positive outcome.
It is a lifetime journey now.
Now I want to know what Rest API’s are… I don’t know if it’s related to my field
