    Great video. I've been a full time SEO since 2018, who has always had a passion for learning web design and development.
    So, after so many algorithm updates over the last year or so, I have pivoted off to web/sales funnel design.
    I am not completely new to web design - but I am new to Webflow, which is what I plan to use.

      Lol, also the dumbest statement i've heard in the entire year. It literally doesn't mean anything. He just took two random extreme numbers and tried to make a case out of it. As if the numbers he gave as an example were connected to something. Why 0% of 74 000? lol! Why not 50%? Or 20% or hell even 1% of 74 000 is 20x times more clients than 100% out of 40. Tbh the entire video is low value with a ridicilous amount of snake oil salesman pitch. But i guess that works on a lot of people...

      @@musfiqaabid3401 I started as a web designer and quickly added brand strategy to my skillset in order to be a better designer.
      My web design / development primarily consisted of Wordpress / Elementor and use coding rather than add more bloat in the form of plug-ins. At least whenever possible.
      I had my eye on Webflow for a while and considered it early on in my career but the internet eco-system is made up of almost 40% wordpress so I thought it made sense to start there. No regrets, but Webflow has, in my opinion, evolved to such a degree that I simply can no longer ignore it. Adding Webflow is the next logical step for me.

The message merely appeals to your inner financial needs and falsely(usually) builds confidence that if you only spend $xxxx.xx suddenly the whole world is your oyster for the taking, and don't forget, you can do this work on a breach in the tropics of some super beautiful island with other expats of your ilk. I say, run as fast as you can away from snake oil.

    Hey I heard, that making YT video thumbnails with your mouth open was a cool clickbait idea. So I decided to give you the click, BUT pause and no view time, dislike, AND select don’t recommend channel. Because being a useless lemming is less cool AND my selections will have a far, far bigger impact on the YT algorithm. Keep up the amazing work lemming! 😂
