Great article, very well written and so inspiring. But the thing that crossed my mind while reading the first part and the first tip “Hype” was this:
Sure, it’s great to post new content every day and hype is a very effective way of getting to sell the product in the end. And if you have a fanbase to start with, it will grow and flourish as time passes by and as long as you keep creating new and interesting content. But how do you get that fanbase?
Let’s say I want to start a new webdesign business but nobody knows me (apart from my friends that is but as you said – friends and biz are two different things). Nobody knows my site/blog/vlog/twitter account, etc.. I could post videos all day long, if nobody knows about it, nobody will watch it, nothing will get spread etc.

For me it’s always the same: Got a lot of money? Easy to make even more money. Got a lot of fans and a good and widespread reputation? Easy to get even more of it.
Maybe replace “easy” with “easier” but you guys know what I mean.

Apart from that: Still very inspiring, I especially like the hard work and post relevant post part. Good Good Good

Totally agree. The same goes for How To Successfully Launch a Web App Startup with Social Media and almost No Budget. Hard work & long nights. Can’t even remember when I got some proper sleep lately. When we tend to go to bed here in Europe our aussie users are getting up and vice versa – but that’s part of the deal right! But we can take it because we love what we do.

I have always liked those 2 guys and loved their simple tutorials on hand drawn websites.

I started freelancing about a year ago and it’s a rough business but I believe if you keep at it like David Peril, you can be successful.

Thanks so much for a great post!

I’ve been freelancing from home for the last 12 years (along side working an office job for another company).

Recently, I’ve decided to make a go of making my freelance a full-time business. I live in a small town here in California (Santa Maria on the Central Coast). The biggest hurdle I’m trying to overcome is how to find clients when I don’t live in a big city.

Thanks again for this great and relevant post!

Very refreshing to see someone give a realistic overview on Social Media. A lot people think that simply by creating a twitter account their SM work is done and the clients will roll in.
I think it also shows you can really do well online when you have the right plan and the focus to follow it through day in day out.
