What were your exact issues (so we can help)?
My suggestion to scale is to find people to work for or with you. Essentially create an agency for yourself. If you want to create a formal business fine or if for now you want to sell "your" services and have trusted friends do your overflow work that is fine too.
Hire people to find customers for you (via e-mail, etc) but then you are the one who shows up for the face to face (your employee pretends to be you for initial outreach).
Hire a general purpose assistant to do things.
Upwork, Fiverr, FlexJobs, Freelancer etc.
Tip: assuming you're legit charge MORE money than your competition.
re: product startup well do you have an idea? lol
- maxilevi 6y agoMy biggest hurdle was getting bigger projects and not just "fix my webpage" type tasks. I tried cold emailing companies under my business name in order to get some better projects but i didnt receive much attention. Do you suggest other ways of reaching to possible customers? The suggestion to hire someone to do the initial outreach is a good idea, i will try it out.
