Considering starting a podcast to help build your web design business and get clients?

Podcasting is AMAZING for expanding your network, deepening your relationship with customers and building trust with potential clients but I'm not going to lie...it is hard work. And it's not for everyone.

To make it work, you have to set yourself up for sustainability to do it consistently and in this special Q&A session, I'm answering many common questions from web designers who are interested in starting a podcast with the goal being to get clients and grow your business.

I'm opening up about all the pros and cons of podcasting, the tough lessons I've learned and a clear roadmap of how to do it successfully.

I'm also sharing an "alternative" method of podcasting that you can do as a trial or test run to see if podcasting is for you.

If you're a web designer who's serious about starting or building your web design biz, I'm guessing there are some glaring challenges and struggles you're going through.

And if you feel alone in those struggles...you're not.

There are so many common challenges I hear from web designers who are serious about starting, building and growing their web design business which we're going to solve here in this special coaching Q&A session.

Alexia, an early-stage web designer who has been stuck starting her web design business while combating analytics paralysis, finally took the leap to join my community Web Designer Pro™ and she graciously allowed me to repurpose a recent coaching chat for you!

We cover:

✅ How to decide what services to offer
✅ How to decide what website platform to use
✅ How break out of the content consuming cycle and actually get stuff done
✅ What pricing model and rates to start off with
✅ How to overcome the dreaded imposter syndrome and more

Again, a big thanks to Alexia for sending in these questions and allowing us to take this publicly because I know she's not alone. I hope this helped you out as well!
