It's taken me months to get to the point where I felt ready to do this, the learning curve is steep but rewarding. Being on the other side of the fence as a designer makes you look at portfolios and other details in a different way. I think there's value in building this in public, so here we go
From the cast below, 5 people reached out (as in, they joined the Telegram group); of those, only 2 had either a portfolio or a personaly website
Then I wasn't too sure how to proceed, because I need to have both 1:1 chats but I also want this to grow into a larger group in time, so it has to stay useful, but that is of secondary importance at the moment
My compromise was posting my cal.com link and asking to book 1:1s with me so we could get to know each other; interestingly, the same 2 people who had a live portfolio were the first / only ones to book a call so far
Had a great time knowing them and have agreed on first tasks on an hourly pay basis
Very happy and excited for this, will post more
