The kid who called me with nothing

A 17-year-old booked a call and offered to build websites for us.

No business domain. Gmail address. No real projects — just friends who vibe-coded some crappy landing pages.

I said no. Then I asked him a few questions.

  1. Why do you sell websites? Do you know how to create them and like doing it? If not, find something else to sell.
  2. Build 3-4 real websites for friends/businesses in the area and showcase them on your own portfolio site. No fake projects.
  3. Learn Google Ads basics, create search campaign with a small budget 30-50$/month
  4. List your portfolio on Fiverr…

If you do not like building websites, then do not focus on building a website dev studio. Focus on sales, mkt, pm instead.

That is all.
