01 . how I got here
For 7 years, I fought
to be the best technically.
It was useless.
Because the game is played elsewhere. Here's the trajectory, unfiltered.
2017
0€/day
19 years old. Cergy. First freelance contract.
I worked 18 hours a day. I literally slept under my desk. €500/month against €700 of school fees. A €15,000 student loan to hold on. I thought if I was technically good, the market would reward me.
Summer 2017
0€ for 5 years
The devil's outstretched hand.
My mother's electricity bill at €3,000. I broke down in my boss's office. He offered €4,000 immediately for a 5-year contract at €500/month while billing my missions at €20,000 each. I refused. I found a permanent job within the week.
2024
0€ lost
Senior full-stack. Scammed. Car sold.
A €550/day mission. I signed in 5 minutes without checking the company. 2 months of work delivered, zero euros paid. 2 years of legal proceedings. My car sold to pay the lawyer. Payment order won, bailiff blocked by their organized insolvency.
The epiphany
0€ skimmed
A staffing firm taking €100/day for nothing, for 2 years.
€550/day for me, €650 for the client. €100/day skimmed for 730 days. For zero value delivered on their side. That day, I decided to stop being the executing dev. I would become my own agency. A Solo Dev Agency.
02 . the 3 truths hidden from me for 7 years
If you integrate these 3 truths,
you've done 80% of the journey.
Each one contradicts a belief the market sells you. All three change the game.
0%
The hidden market.
of €500/day+ missions don't go through Malt, LinkedIn jobs, or staffing firms. They get signed in private conversations, recommendations, direct messages between devs and decision-makers.
You've been searching in the wrong place from day one.
0€
Perception > skill.
that's how much a staffing firm skimmed off me over 2 years, for zero value delivered. Because they were perceived as the supplier, and I was perceived as "the dev".
The market pays what it PERCEIVES, not what you're worth.

A network is built.
to build a network of decision-makers, even from zero. Identify the CTOs, Heads of Eng, founders in your niche. Approach with a clear offer, not a CV. Activate in conversation.
Door-knocker, not luck-waiter.
03 . the system
Solo Dev Agency.
3 pillars, 30 days, until your first signature.
Done WITH you, not done FOR you. 1:1 directly with me. Weekly calls, chat, feedback within 24h.
Pillar 1
Positioning.
Stop being "a freelance dev who's available". Become a Solo Dev Agency: same positioning as an agency, same way of selling. No fixed team, no overhead, no salaried sales reps. We work on your LinkedIn profile, your unique angle, your value proposition.
Pillar 2
Acquisition.
The outbound machine agencies use, adapted for solo devs. Tight target list, tested scripts, follow-up sequences. Plus the part nobody tells you about: how to work with commission-based introducers so your pipeline runs even when you don't move a finger.
Pillar 3
Closing.
Interviews, day-rate negotiation, closing scripts, objection handling, simulations. And when you start being overloaded: how to delegate to other devs to hold several missions in parallel without burning out.
04 . what you get
Here's concretely
what's inside Solo Dev Agency.
Scroll the stack to the right. Each card, a deliverable.
02
Acquisition.
(How to operate like an agency without being one, automated outreach, processes, tested message sequences, commission-based introducers, HR, staffing, headhunter partnerships)
03
Closing.
(How to design an offer, define your service catalog, your pricing grid, project pricing vs day rate, interview scripts, day-rate negotiation, objection handling, announce your price without losing the deal)
04
Full LinkedIn profile + assets revamp.
(headline, banner, featured, about, agency-style portfolio, personalized feedback within 24h)
05
Guided 30-day Acquisition Sprint.
(we identify your target decision-makers, launch your outbound sequences, track your results on a dashboard, you start prospecting on day 1)
06
Full template arsenal.
(LinkedIn and email prospecting scripts, proposals, contracts with payment clauses and penalties, pipeline tracker, day-rate calculator, introducer contract templates)
07
Introducer system.
(find, brief, pay commission-based sales reps, compensation structures, onboarding, management, run your pipeline without lifting a finger)
08
Extended network: HR, staffing, headhunters.
(treat them as partners, not enemies, approach scripts specific to each interlocutor, the portfolio most devs ignore)
09
Interview prep + closing.
(scripts, simulations, objection handling, day-rate negotiation, announce the price without losing the deal, technical tests: success strategy)
10
Delegation & scaling.
(subcontract to other devs when overloaded, run a parallel mission without burning out, transform your solo into an agency without hiring)
11
My journey, decoded.
(€14/day → €550/day: real messages I sent, real amounts billed, real interviews, with the mistakes that cost me dearly)

(weekly calls with me, direct chat, feedback within 24h on everything you produce, 90-day result guarantee)
The price is set on the call, based on your situation and the work to do together.
90d
guarantee
05 . zero risk
Method applied,
or refunded.
If you honor your weekly calls, your deliverables, your prospecting, and after 90 days you still haven't signed a €500/day+ mission, I refund you in full. The risk, on this one, is on me.
06 . fit check
Before booking,
be honest with yourself.
This is for you if
- 3+ years of dev experience, mainstream stack (Node, Python, React, Go, modern PHP…)
- You can free up 5-10h/week for 30 days
- You want €500/day+ remote in the next 90 days
- You've already tried Malt, LinkedIn, applications. Without results
Skip if
- You're starting out (less than 2 years of experience)
- You're looking for passive training without coaching
- You want to stay in a comfortable salaried job
- You want to build a classic agency with employees
07 . what you're telling yourself right now
The 3 things
probably holding you back.
"It's too expensive."
→
Less than 2 weeks of a €500/day+ mission. ROI on the first signature. Everything that comes after, it's a gift.
"I don't have time."
→
5-10h/week for 30 days. Question of priority, not time. If you can free up 5h for something that multiplies your day rate by 2 or 3, it's just a choice.
"What if it doesn't work for me?"
→
90-day guarantee. Method applied, no signature, full refund. You can test without financial risk.
08 . the founder
Jean.
Freelance dev for 9 years.
€500/day today.
Started at €14/day at 19. Scammed out of €26,000 at 28. Skimmed €73,000 over 2 years by a staffing firm for zero value delivered. I did everything, learned everything by failing, adjusting, paying tens of thousands of euros in coachings.
In parallel, I trained 200 students in code (JS, React, Angular, Node). It's by passing on my business reflexes that I realized my method could be laid out flat, repeated on other devs. Solo Dev Agency was born from that.
