Received my first ever PayPal payment today! It was the half-payment for a small website revamp project I’m working on now. Although it wasn’t a big amount, but it provided me some much needed encouragement and a little inspiring experience…
What is interesting about this small project is that it is the first time for me to work for a client I’ve never met in person, he found me via a friend of a friend (of a friend?) from half way around the globe. He trusted me enough as to send in half of the payment without seeing what I can do for his website (well, he did find my online portfolio)!
The internet/digital business is really as interesting as I imagined it to be, I can seriously work and get paid anywhere in the world as far as I have my laptop and an internet connection! And with the industry advancing ever so quickly, I would never need to worry about running out of things to learn. I can totally picture myself doing this as a career.
