Freelance to Founder

On today’s show: I finally give in to the idea that charging your clients hourly can actually work in some business models.

It’s still not my favorite—since you get punished for being more efficient.

But our return guest Josh, gives us an update on his business, throws some new challenges at us, and—yes—convinces me that sometimes charging hourly just makes the most sense. 

See what I mean on today’s episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go.

On today’s show, we talk with Mannat, a student calling from India, with questions about her freelance business.

Mannat is a typographer—she works with lettering and fonts.

But every time Mannat posts her work on social media, she gets packaging design clients and others who don’t match her target audience.

This leaves Mannat asking, “what exactly should I be posting on social media to attract my ideal client?"

We walk her through a few key social media strategies that’ll also help you build your online presence and attract the right clients on social media.

Have you ever thought: “if I can just get the attention of more people, I could close more clients and grow my business”

That’s where we find today’s guest, Jay. He’s a web developer and SEO expert in Kentucky, USA. And Jay’s only been freelancing for a few months. He’s off to a great start having already closed a half-dozen monthly recurring clients.

Jay’s biggest question is how to get more volume. Or more awareness. So, of course, as marketing geeks Clay and I jump in with some of our best advice. 

And we wrap up the episode with advice that, frankly, I’m still not sure was good.

You’ll want to listen all the way to the end for that one.

Is freelancing as a family a good idea? Can it actually work?

That’s part of what we get into with our call-in guest, Dave.

Dave is the father of 3 talented young developers. Together, they’ve started an agency.

Well… sort of.

As we talked with Dave, we uncovered this: family dynamics are not the same as business dynamics. And sometimes, managing both can present a real challenge. 

If you’ve ever wondered whether or not to go into business with family, today’s episode of Freelance to Founder is for you. Here we go!

On today’s Q&A episode, "Can you grow without hiring?"

It’s a pretty tricky question we got from Tony—a freelance videographer in Paris, France.

He wants to add graphic design, web design, SEO, social media, and many other services. And he wants to hire freelancers to do it.

Is this a good strategy? Stick around through this episode to find out.
