TLDR : I built 21 practical guides (PDFs) covering pricing, clients, AI costs, automation, legal, and more. Listed them at €7–€12. Got 540 views across 20 articles. Sold zero copies. Here's everything I got wrong — and what I'm actually doing about it.

I'm a developer who got tired of generic "how to succeed as a freelancer" advice. So I spent 60 days distilling everything I actually used to get clients, price projects, avoid legal disasters, and cut AI costs — into 21 focused PDF guides.

The result: 21 guides published. €0 in revenue. 540 views across Dev.to. Zero reactions. Zero comments.
