The Weekly Fix · Developer Business Lab
Fix one part of your freelance business every week.
Finding clients. Charging more. Closing better projects. Keeping the money you earn.
One specific business problem, a practical fix, and something you can put to work immediately. No recycled motivational advice.
A sample issue
Before you send another 100 cold emails…
Before you spend another week sending messages, ask whether you're targeting businesses with a reason to hire you.
Try this with five real companies:
- What specific problem could you help this business solve?
- Why would solving that problem matter financially or operationally?
- What evidence do you have that the problem exists?
An outdated website isn't automatically a business problem. You need to connect what you can do to something the buyer actually cares about.
Better prospect selection beats a higher volume of generic outreach.
That's the format: a concrete problem, a usable exercise, and a takeaway you can apply.
