But how do you find jobs like that?

Any good "choose your own adventure" book you would recommend for adults?

To get "hundreds of emails" (let's say 500), with a ~1% conversion rate, you need 50,000 page views. How long to get to that point with just 3 blog post when you start from nothing?

This sounds super interesting! Where can we learn more about your story? Do you have an email or Twitter to contact you?

Really interesting, thanks! Can I send you an email to ask you a few questions about this? Where can I find your email?

You can check out Double Your Freelancing

Already read it, and it's great! But it doesn't explain how to start getting clients from scratch.

Expanding your network is a great way to increase your 'luck surface'.

That's what I'm trying to do. But I feel like going to developer meetups is going to be a very slow way to expend my network. Any other ideas?

That's a good point, I'll try these too!

However there are developer meetups almost every day in Paris, but I don't see any for business people or marketers.

Thanks for the great advice!

If you are only talking to 10 people a month, and you close a deal with 10% of them, that's 1 new client a month.

If I follow the plan described in my post, I will be talking to ~30 people a months. But they are just developers spending time in meetups, not people actively looking for freelancers. So I won't get 10% of them as clients, maybe 1% or less...

Congrats, and the game looks really cool!

I'm curious: how did you market your game? What made you go in the top charts?

GitHub Pages already have a CDN, so why add cloudflare?

And as mentioned in my post, Github doesn't let you have some kind of htaccess, so no 301 redirect are possible. And I need that feature.

Thanks for the detailed answer! Here are some comments to answer your questions:

2. A CDN, for super fast loading.

I just want my website to load fast from anywhere in the world. I especially want this since page load time impact SEO. Something like cloudflare.com which has a free plan.

5. And not expensive, less than $10 per month.

$10 per month excluding the domain name. I don't think that's unresonable for a simple static html website. As mentioned above there are some CDN that have a free tier.

Overall I'm trying to find the simplest way to host my static website online, and make sure it works well with search engine (ssl and fast to load). All of that for less than $10 per month.

Really cool! What's your app doing?

What's your point? I already know that there are a lot competition in this space.

I'm curious: What are the best free GUI for Git?

Cool game! Do you mind sharing how you marketed your game to get 3M downloads?

Do you know any ressources that explains how to write "good" plain PHP?

Do you guys know any good ressource to learn PHP 7 from someone who learned PHP years ago for fun (thus probably with a lot of bad practices)? Thanks!
