On today’s show, which comes first: hiring to free up time to land big clients or landing big clients to pay for hiring. 

It’s a chicken and egg situation that our guest Zach has been stuck on.

We do our best to answer that question, plus a few others he has, including how to combine two completely different offerings into one killer monthly recurring offer.

It’s all in this episode of ‘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.

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.
