After all the hard work you've done, you deserved it! I could just see it through your videos, but I'm sure this is only a fraction of how much more you really do behind the scenes. Wishing you all the best for 2023 girl xx
Happy New Year! This was very eye opening and very motivational as well. :) Love that you stay humble through this and honest with how things turned out for 2022. Wishing all the best for 2023 ahead and looking forward to more new content :)
Thank you for sharing Megan! Did all of your clients find you through your UA-cam channel? Did any clients find you through Pinterest? Or maybe lots of referrals? To me, finding clients is the hardest part when getting started because to get referrals, you have to get the beginning clients. Hard when first starting!
Love that you shared this! Thanks for being an inspiration and sharing all of the behind the scenes. 💕 My goal is to go full time with web development this year, and it’s just so helpful to see what’s possible.
This is so inspiring! I’ve followed you for awhile and it’s so amazing to see how far you’ve come! You’re on my vision board for my business this year when it comes to terms as to how I want to present myself online as I try to take my design career to the next level. So excited to see what the new year has in store for you! 🎉
Hi Megan, I recently found your channel and am so glad I did! As a newbie in the industry, you give me inspiration, thank you for showing others that this is doable with the perfect combo of hard work and effort 🤍
You're so inspiring and astronomically helpful to a newbie like me! I'm just starting out, like literally just putting my website together and am currently putting my portfolio together on it. Thanks so much for doing what you do and being so transparent. I would love to see more of the client interaction of the web design process. For example, I always wonder when you give a client a finished web design, is there any coding included or instructions of what to do with the files/design? Or is it up to the client to know what to do with it?
Thank you so much!!! I can definitely share more about the client web process. I do develop the website for them so when I hand it off it is full functional. I also give some tutorials so they know how to use it!
This is so awesome! And very inspiring. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for some time and I’m also a freelance graphic designer. What’s the difference between freelancing and being a full-time designer? Are you considering freelancing as when you were still working a 9-5?
thank you so much!! freelancing just means making money on a per project basis. no huge difference really! I was freelancing while working 9-5. It was alot but SO worth it.
Yes I am currently working on the deductions side of it all and have a bookkeeper helping me out. There is no state income tax where I live but the other sides of it are getting sorted out.
Get it girl!!! I love the transparency and we need more of it. You worked for it!
This is so random, but I’d love to see you do your skincare and makeup in one of your day in the life videos. Your makeup looks so good!
aw thank you so much! that is so sweet, I can show that next time! 😊
I love your voice
You make me exicted and inspired me to go finish my graphic design degree ❤❤
aw that makes me so happy to hear! you got this!
Congrats on this outcomes. Super inspiring and love seeing the progress as a freelance designer.
Thank you so much 😊

@@MeganWeeks oh I know all about that! It’s tough!! I’m strongly considering leaving my 9-5 to go into freelancing full-time myself …it’s a big leap!
Love this! Just sent you an email for a business coaching session inquiry. Thanks!!
Have you got into taxes and business credit side? How To use tax deductions, exemptions etc etc. How to get credit to pay for the business expenses.
Yes I am currently working on the deductions side of it all and have a bookkeeper helping me out. There is no state income tax where I live but the other sides of it are getting sorted out.
i am also graphic designer and struggling for first order on different platforms for last 3 months but in vain,give me suggestion plz?
Do you have a system in place for finding and booking clients? That would be great!
Content, content content, that is how I land most clients! But I will make a video on this!
What is involved in Branding Services?
I'm now at my first year of self employment. Congrats on your work and thank you for sharing this with us. Are these numbers before or after tax?
There is no state income tax where I live 😊 but this was before and after what I could possibly owe!
