Freelance to Founder Podglomerate

Today’s question comes from our free Mastermind group on Facebook.
Anna Keith asks: "I’m getting ready to do my taxes and am considering trying software rather than hiring a CPA.

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.

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, have you ever thought: if I could just find the right person to hire, I could scale up my business.
That’s how Virginia from Argentina feels about her unique content marketing company.
The challenge? Virginia’s company develops content around witchcraft and spiritualism—so she needs teammates who speak fluent English, write well, and understand her unique niche.
It’s a tall order, but Clay and I offered solid advice for hiring the best freelancers.
