From loyal husband to unemployed designer in one week. Life moves fast. A few months ago, I went through a rough period in life. I lost a lot of my possessions to the divorce. My wife was cheating on me with my best friend, while I was working my ass off to pay the bills and put food on the table. The final nail? I lost my job. All of this spiraled me into depression.

I was eating out of what little I had left, and now I’m all out of money. I finally kicked myself in the guts and decided to offer what I’m actually good at. I was designing logos for a living. That was my day job, until I lost everything to depression. Now I’ve started again. But this time, I’m doing it freelance. I’m offering logo design, as well as content creation for social media.

Today I secured a deal to design a grocery store logo in my neighborhood for 590.

I know $590 isn’t much, but I’m already all out of money. So this is my start. This is where I reclaim my life.

So I have this one question for you guys, A few days ago, I saw a post about a fancy studio converting potential clients into paying ones. I don’t have the money for that. What can I do to improve my odds at securing more leads?

Someone suggested reading How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. They say it can help convert leads.
