  • On today’s show: do you ever feel trapped by the decisions you make in your business?

    Our guest Morgan loves to write. But, early on, she took on quite a few social media clients.
    Then, those clients referred more clients. And suddenly, most of her client work is focused on social media marketing — not writing.

    So what do you do when your former choices have boxed you into a future you don’t necessarily want?

    It’s all on today’s episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go…

  • On today’s Q&A episode, let’s talk about money. Exactly how much should you save before you can start your agency?

    We do our best to answer this question, and it got us wondering: What in the world are we spending all of our money on these days in our own businesses?

    So, as a bonus, we break down our finances a bit more to round out the episode. 

    It all starts right now on this episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go.

  • In today's Q&A episode, Travis writes about a problem: a few years ago, he moved from Australia to the U.S. to grow his video business.

    While things went well at first, work has really slowed down, and he's wondering if there's something about the U.S. market he's completely missing. 

    Clay and I have never lived "down under," but we have a few things to consider for anyone looking to break into the US market.

  • On today’s show, we’ve got the longest Q&A episode we’ve ever published—coming in at a whopping 50 minutes plus.

    Why so long? Well, I asked Clay a question that really got him riled up. 
    It has to do with his experience using the software GoHighLevel—which has exploded in popularity lately.

    But Clay’s experience was anything but ideal. You’ll see what I mean in this episode of Freelance to Founder. Here we go.

    To be honest, most freelancers and entrepreneurs we meet are.

    But if you never hand off smaller tasks, you never free yourself up to be a founder in your own business.

    We talk about that today with our call-in guest, Silvia. 

    It’s all happening today on 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.

    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.
