4 Years Doing Squarespace Projects = $800,000

David LexSquarespace Designer $800,000+ revenue in 4 years
Published May 11, 2023 by Niall Doherty

In a 9-minute video, David Lex talks about how he earned “over $800K in the last four years doing Squarespace projects”…

Squarespace is a website builder, a bit like Shopify or Wix. So David isn’t some kind of ninja coder or anything. He’s just become really good at creating websites with that particular builder

When David started out, he was trying to land a client for several months with no luck

Then he stepped out of his comfort zone and tried something he didn’t think would work: running an ad.

Within two days, he’d landed a $1750 project

In another video, David says that running that ad wasn’t actually the key thing for him; that may or may not work for your business…

The key thing was embracing discomfort…

If it doesn’t scare you, it probably isn’t pushing you outside your comfort zone.

David started his journey in 2017 – he was about 26 years old at the time – and after breaking the seal he earned $20,000 in 100 days.

By 2019 he was earning $8-12K per month. Then he pushed himself further and had his first $50k month in March of that year

That was the first year I made over $200K with Squarespace design projects, that’s when I was way more comfortable landing $10K projects.

And that had just happened over time. So it was definitely a slow process. It wasn’t an overnight success, but definitely, definitely a process that was worthwhile because every project I did helped me learn what I needed for the next project.
