Should I Even Try?

34 min

May 15, 2025

On today’s show: is it even worth trying to grow your freelance business?

That’s where Rakesh finds himself. He gets most of his clients from freelancing platforms like Upwork. 

And the market for web designers and developers is just so saturated, he doesn’t even know if he should continue with his business. 

If you’ve ever felt this way, today’s show is for you. It all starts right now on this episode of Freelance to Founder.

Oh, and really quickly before we start: the audio on this episode is a bit rough. We’ve done our best to clean it up. But between the audio and Rakesh’s very thick accent, you may have to focus extra to follow along. But we believe it’s important to share stories from all over the world whether a guest has a quality mic setup or a flawless accent. Thanks for supporting us as we support freelancers around the world. Ok, now on to the show.

[Q&A] Can I Put In-House Work in My Portfolio?

13 min

May 13, 2025

This episode's question came in via email.

Nico works as a designer for a company right now, and he wants to start freelancing on the side and build a business.

He said, “I was thinking of creating a portfolio, including the projects I've completed in my current company, but in a fictitious way (use different names, organizations, etc.) Also, state that this is a fictional project but that the process and outputs are the same. Do you think this will work to close deals?

If you were a company that would be reviewing my portfolio, would you think that I'm experienced or just someone trying to fool you?”

Note: we are not attorneys, and we will not even touch the question of if it’s something legal or not. We are not providing legal advice in any way. This type of advice should be provided by a certified professional, and we are not.

On today’s show, if you get most of your clients from referrals, is that a good thing? Or is your business at risk of failing?

You’re about to hear a coaching call with Dwaynia, who’s calling in from Alabama in the USA. Dwaynia has a great writing business going. She’s working with clients she loves and has a small team to support her.

Clay and I share a few of our best ideas for building a predictable client referral system, as well as other ways to get clients in the door in a more predictable way. Here we go.
