On 20 October 2010, at 10: 46, Chris Barin registered on 99designs. Three weeks later he won his first contest. The prize was $1,247. He had begged his parents for a computer for three years before they bought one.

He won 49. A win rate of about 13 percent, and 13 percent was enough. This is the whole story, including the parts that don't flatter him.

Twenty-five form fields. To buy one jar of peanut butter. That store was paying for ads. The ads worked fine. The store didn't. Chris Barin spent five years running an online food brand in Romania and took it to about EUR 700,000 a year. Almost all of the growth came from fixing what happened after the click, not from finding a cleverer ad. This is what he checks first, in order.

Most design projects go wrong before the designer opens a file. The objective was never agreed. The brief was one line long. Four people gave feedback and two of them contradicted each other.

He has designed for clients for years, and he has spent seven years hiring designers: reading portfolios, running the interviews, writing the briefs, paying the invoices.
