In mid-2020, I was working with a few clients and had a pipeline of another six potential deals, so I started looking for help. I had never hired anyone before, so I had no idea how to go about this.
I casually shared the opportunity in a Telegram group/community for makers called Makerlog. My pitch was dreadfully simple:
Anyone here interested in sub-contracting on some Notion work with me under Optemization? building workspaces for others for money.
One of the active members, Val, responded and we start chatting. We kept in touch for over a month before I actually had work for him. The project was a Notion website build for a small agency called King Marketing and he took it on. Little did I know that not only he will absolutely crush this project, but also become my right-hand man and Director of all Optemization projects…
