𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐦𝐞 $𝟔𝟎. But honestly, I almost quit before I even got him. It started with a message on Upwork. A guy from Pakistan said he wanted me to work on his project. I was so happy. He took my interview and I was nervous the whole time. It was my first one ever, so I probably didn't do great. Then he asked my price and I said a big number. I had no reviews, nothing to show, and I still asked for a lot. Not smart. After that, he just went silent. For a whole month. I kept opening Upwork again and again. Nothing. I started thinking maybe this work isn't for me. Maybe I'm not good enough. I actually thought about quitting. Then one day he replied and asked for my price again. This time I said a low number. Really low. I had zero reviews, so I just wanted one person to trust me. He moved the deal to Fiverr and that's where I got my first order. I ended up doing way more work than $60 was worth. It was an API integration and I wanted to do it properly, even if it meant working extra. When it was done, he left me a 5-star review. And when I read it, everything changed. That day I was ready to quit, and then one review made me think, okay, maybe I can actually do this. That review meant more to me than the $60. If you're waiting for your first client right now and it feels like nothing is happening, don't stop. Sometimes one message is all it takes. What was the moment that almost made you quit, but you didn't?

I had some free time, and after seeing Jumbo launch its 4th branch, I started thinking about the brand and its overall identity. I kept wondering, what would a website look like if it really tried to capture that same energy? 𝐒𝐨 𝐈 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞. I tried to translate Jumbo’s identity into the digital experience from the colors and typography to the layout, visuals, interactions, and overall feel of the website. The goal wasn’t just to make a website that looks good, but to make something that actually feels like 𝐉𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐨. I really enjoyed working on this one and experimenting with how a physical brand can be represented through a digital experience. Here’s what I came up with 👇 🔗 jumbo-tanz.vercel.app Jumbo PK would love to know what you think if you come across this. :) And for everyone: How would you rate the website? Would love to hear your honest feedback... #WebDesign #FrontendDevelopment #React #UIUX #WebDevelopment #BrandIdentity

𝐀 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐃𝐌. From someone named Deluar Ahamed. He said: "Send me your projects." No pitch. No "check out my services." Just that. I sent them, a little confused, not knowing where this was going. Then he said something I didn't expect: "I'll redesign your LinkedIn profile for free. I want to help you build your personal brand." Ngl, my first thought was people like this still exist on LinkedIn? In a space full of "book a call" and "DM me for pricing," here was someone offering to help before asking for anything. So we got on it. He asked about my work, my goals, what I actually wanted people to feel when they land on my profile. Then he disappeared for a bit and came back with options. Not one banner. Not two. Multiple versions, different angles, different hooks , so I could actually choose what fit me instead of settling for whatever he handed me. He didn't stop at the banner either. He went through my headline, my About section, my Featured section optimizing all of it. Along the way he kept dropping real insight on personal branding how the goal isn't to "look good," it's to make people trust you before you say a word. By the end, my profile didn't just look different. It felt like it actually represented who I am and what I do. And the way he ended it stuck with me "𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲." Not "happy to close another client." Family. In an industry that's mostly transactional, that hit different. 𝐒𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮. To Deluar Ahamed, for the profile, the options, the optimization, and honestly, for reminding me that generosity still exists in this space. Before and after in this carousel. Judge for yourself. If your profile hasn't been touched in a while, maybe it's time. 🤝 #LinkedInTips #PersonalBranding #WebDevelopment #ContentCreator #TechCommunity #Networking #GrowthMindset #FullStackDeveloper
