A former mentor of mine asked if I'd be interested in doing a bit of Web dev for him back in early 2013. After that, he put me in contact with his client to do more on-going small project work. Today I'm doing $35k/year with this client and have found a few other clients (actually they found me) which then led to more word-of-mouth advertising which led to a few more clients. I only recently started an LLC for this work and have started marketing my services online. No leads from the website yet but have caught the attention of a few others on LinkedIn who noticed me adding the LLC to my profile. I'm mostly interested in working with local companies (Dubuque, IA) so LinkedIn has been a good resource for me to reach out to local SMBs.
