#212: How "Growth Hacking" Can Kickstart Your Freelance Business | With Ian Paget


Listen Later

Answer this: What have you done this week to bring in new clients?

99% of freelancers would say "uhhhh....." and proceed to stare at me blankly with a distant look in their eyes.

The sad reality is that most creatives sit around and wait for clients to find them. This is perfectly OK if your business is at the point where you're 100% booked up for the next 6 months with nothing but your ideal clients.

For the rest of us, we have to put in work to fill our calendars.

On this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I interviewed Ian Paget of Logo Geek. Ian has done a lot over the years to bring in clients as a freelancer.

He's executed multiple growth hacks in his business, which lead to over 90,000 followers on social media. He then used that following to launch one of the top design podcasts (despite being a total introvert).

Ian is the master of taking "imperfect action", and he's proven over and over again that anyone can face their fears and get out of their comfort zones in order to bring in new clients to their freelance business.

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • How Ian pivoted from employee to freelancer
  • Growth hacking social media
  • The importance of engaging your audience
  • Overcoming the fears holding you back
  • Stumbling into success
  • The tech needed to start a podcast
  • Launching a podcast with a massive guest
