I've been struggling with finding new clients for a while now. I'm not very good at selling myself and my services, nor am I good at overcharging people for basic work like I've seen from a lot of companies that I've worked with.

Most of my clients are small businesses, where a few hundred dollars a month matters a ton. Between the pandemic and AI tools, a lot of my clients have themselves been feeling the hurt too. Which has translated into fewer projects coming in.

For all of the tech folks who celebrated the pandemic as a way to make more money online, yall are ghoulish.
