    Should I Even Try?

    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. This episode was originally aired on April 8, 2024. PS: Get featured in an upcoming Q&A!

    Disrespectful Clients

    On today’s show: What should you do when you’re not getting the kind of respect you deserve from your clients? That’s just one of many questions we got today from our guest, Cathal, calling in from Germany. A few times now, Cathal has been hired by a manager only to later have that manager’s team give him pushback once he gets to work. So, we work with him on a few ideas on how to get everyone on board with the outside help of a freelancer or agency. That and lots more questions are just ahead on THIS episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go. This episode was originally aired on August 31st, 2023. PS: Get featured in an upcoming Q&A!

    The Risk of Referrals

    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. But, Dwaynia literally lies awake at night worried about not having a client generation system in place to bring in predictable new work. Her annual goals are literally pulled out of thin air, and she’s not sure how to fix it. 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.
