But how does the money work if an agency will “white label” your services? Who gets what? How much? And when?


These are the types of questions Nathan asks himself as he grows his business.


He’s got a few partnerships in the works, but he’s unsure how to set up the money side.

Naturally, we have a few ideas for him to try. Plus, we talk about how much to charge in your particular market and more. 


It’s all in this episode of ‘Freelance to Founder.’ Let’s go.

]]> 777 no Does ROI Always Matter? https://millo.co/podcasts/freelancetofounder When growing your business, should you worry about getting a positive ROI on every penny you spend? It’s an interesting question for me while talking with today’s guest, Sarah. Sarah started her own agency just 5 months ago. And while she’s been able to get hourly contractors on board quickly to help with creative work, she’s having difficulty finding the right people to help with administrative work.

Carey is a bit further along in life than many of our guests and is contemplating retirement. 

But instead of just selling his business, he wonders: can he just hire the right people to keep the business running smoothly and send him a paycheck each month?

The answer is “yes” and by the end of the show, Carey admits he wished he’d considered this question much earlier in his career.

Today's question comes from Mel in our Facebook Mastermind Group. You can join here. Mel says, "I've worked freelance for the same company for three years. The company is growing, but the boss doesn't do salaried positions. My workload is increasing, so we need another person to assist me part-time, and I'll supervise them. So, would I be justified in asking for more money?" I think it's an interesting question for Mel, and today I will answer it with a very special co-host: Christine Olivas from Co-Conspirators Agency.

Laura submitted a question at freelance to founder.com/ask. And I love this question because it's been on my mind lately. Clay and I talked before we hit record about this AI and artificial intelligence and how it impacts our freelancer jobs. She said, "The recent launch of chat GPT and other AI advances have led me to question how I future-proof my business." So just for context, she's a copywriter. And I think I think writers are mainly concerned right now, but I digress. She says, "How do I future-proof my business in a world where I am in a profession that AI could completely take over? I don't think it's there yet. But it means significant changes to my industry. I'm sure I'm not the only copywriter with concerns.

Sarah is the perfect example of what you can accomplish with some direction and focus in a short amount of time. So if you’re ready to be inspired by a true success story, stay tuned.

Some coaches might say you should offer as many services as possible—hiring sub-contractors to complete any work you aren’t an expert at. That’s where today’s guest, Dan, finds himself: sorting through hundreds of Upwork applications to find sub-contractors to grow his business. There’s just one problem: he’s burning out. All the time he spends on hiring is time he doesn’t spend on client work.  And think about this: how can Dan passionately sell a service if he doesn’t know much about it? So, in today’s episode, we take a step back, identify Dan’s strengths, and help develop a plan for scaling up in his area of expertise. That’s the power of specializing. Join us for the full details!

]]> 949 no Charge Like a Founder—Not an Employee https://millo.co/podcasts/freelancetofounder Today we have a coaching call with Joseph, a digital nomad working in Mexico. Joseph is building his Wordpress development company on the side of his day job with dreams of becoming a full-time entrepreneur. But there’s one major thing standing in Joseph’s way. As you’ll hear him explain during the show, Joseph is charging what he calls “employee” prices which just doesn’t give him enough cashflow to scale. Clay and I are up to the challenge as we spend the full second half of the episode tackling the question: how to do I raise my prices? Here’s a hint: it’s all about demand and value. If you don’t have those dialed in, you’ll never be able to raise your prices. If you’ve wanted to raise your rates for a long time, but were unsure how to do it, then this episode is for you.

Her business is doing well into the six figures and she's recently added numerous contributors to 12 Minute Athlete in a variety of capacities. But it wasn't always this way.

If you haven’t heard this episode you’re missing out because it’s an early conversation between me and Clay about how he built his first agency to over $100,000/mo in recurring revenue. Those of you who are quick at math have already figured out that means over a million dollars in predictable, recurring income per year. And Clay started the whole thing as a freelancer just trying to figure out how it all works. It’s an inspiring tale of hard work, passion, and smart business.

She has built up a nice freelance business and has begun to work with subcontractors to begin scaling her business.

But she’s realizing it’s harder to transition from solo freelancer to full-on agency than she initially expected. Chelsea and I coach her on two critical tasks:

How to get her clients to start treating her like an agency—instead of a freelancer. And how to get the word out about her new agency and start bringing in fresh clients even if she doesn’t feel quite ready.

We wrap up the episode with some really strong advice from Chelsea on getting new clients with Linkedin. Join us on this jam-packed episode.

Roopika’s story just goes to show: you can have the most interesting offering, but if you can’t get in front of the right clients, you’ll still struggle. So Clay and I give her our best advice for building attention both online and offline and by the end of the show, Roopika’s got a plan. We hope it helps you too.

To submit your question, visit FreelanceToFounder.com/ASK and we'll feature you on an upcoming episode. Today's question comes from Annie Milner, who was on the show previously. It was great to hear back from her again. She says, "I have a question. I haven't raised my rates in two to three years, partly due to COVID. I currently charge $75 per hour. Do you think that's it's too drastic to raise to $85 per hour? Important to note that I quote on a per project basis, so it's unlikely most clients will even notice. I'm about to write a new contract with a retainer client, though, who actually nudged me about raising my rates. So really, the question is, you know, can I raise my rates? Should I raise my rates?"

The answer is “yes” and by the end of the show, Carey admits he wished he’d considered this question much earlier in his career.  PS: Get featured in an upcoming FTF SHORT!

It’s something we chat about with our first ever guest duo, Shelby & Kristina. They’re two comedic video marketers doing really fun work out of Hollywood, California. In the wake of the pandemic, Shelby and Kristina started their video business and found early success with agencies. And while working with agencies definitely has its advantages, there are lots of downsides too. So today’s show focuses on breaking free from agency-dependent work and finding your own audience, offering, and client base. It’s one of the best conversations we’ve ever had on the show and you won’t want to miss it. Stay tuned. Oh, and really quick before we dive in, I have to tell you quickly about this new tool we discovered called Hectic. It’s an all-in-one business suite built just for freelancers. I’ve never been so impressed with a product and team as much as I have with Hectic. We’ve partnered up with them and left a link in the show description, and you should really click through to see what I’m talking about. You’ll be blown away with what they offer to freelancers at absolutely zero cost. Ok… we’ll be right back.  PS: Check out Hectic, an all-in-one freelancing suite that is BLOWING our minds right now!

James is a total rockstar when it comes to automating tasks in your business. In fact, as you’ll hear by the end of this conversation, in order to accomplish everything James automates in his business, he’d have to hire a full-time employee. Instead, he leverages affordable tech and brilliant workflows to save money and get more done.

As you’ll hear him explain during the show, Joseph is charging what he calls “employee” prices which just doesn’t give him enough cashflow to scale. Clay and I are up to the challenge as we spend the full second half of the episode tackling the question: how to do I raise my prices? Here’s a hint: it’s all about demand and value. If you don’t have those dialed in, you’ll never be able to raise your prices. If you’ve wanted to raise your rates for a long time, but were unsure how to do it, then this episode is for you.

Technology can be bold. But it can also be complicated. Compiler breaks down the big questions about tech and the tech industry in this new original podcast. On today's bonus episode, I share with you a brand new podcast called 'Compiler', an original podcast from Red Hat. Becoming a manager can be a triumphant milestone of working life. It’s often a recognition of leadership and, in the tech industry, technical skill. Many argue those skills necessarily become casualties to the management track. But it’s hard to let go of your creative side to make room for managing others. Can they do both? Should managers code? It’s an old question that never seems to receive a clear answer. From the Red Hat offices to the moons of Jupiter, Compiler explores why it’s such a complex issue. We spoke with Red Hatters who are vocal about what role, if any, managers have in the code base—and why they fight to keep their hands on keys for as long as they can.

But it's also incredibly liberating. Hear why on today's show. On today’s show, I talk with Joe Babi who’s building his own SEO agency. Not long ago, Joe found himself overworked and missing out on important life events. That’s when he realized he HAD to make a change.  So over the last year or two, Joe has scaled his agency in a way that loops him out of his business more and more. Being okay with being "out of the loop" can be a real challenge, but it also opens up all kinds of freedom, opportunity, and growth for your business.

Ron gets a ton of new business from Fiverr, but he’s worried about two things: first, it can be difficult to build long-term relationships with clients on Fiverr and second, if there was an algorithm adjustment or some other unforeseen change, Ron’s entire business would disappear. So he’s ready to start building his own processes in addition to the work he already does on the platform.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Freelance job sites are a great way to get your foot in the door as a freelancer. But are they the best long-term strategy for growing an agency?

On today’s show, we have a coaching call with Ron, who has been freelancing on Fiverr for over 10 years—and he’s done quite well for himself.

Ron gets a ton of new business from Fiverr, but he’s worried about two things: first, it can be difficult to build long-term relationships with clients on Fiverr and second, if there was an algorithm adjustment or some other unforeseen change, Ron’s entire business would disappear.

So he’s ready to start building his own processes in addition to the work he already does on the platform. We start off with some great tips from Ron about succeeding on Fiverr and then guest coach and friend Chelsea Baldwin and I chime in with our best advice for expanding away from marketplaces like Fiverr.

Mannat is a typographer—she works with lettering and fonts.

But everytime Mannat posts her work to social media, she gets packaging design clients and others reaching out who just 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.

]]> 3135 no Close 90% of Clients (without Proposals) https://millo.co/podcasts/freelancetofounder On today’s episode we chat with Brady, who is building a web design business from his home in northern Idaho, USA. Brady has already built up a small team of contractors and aims to get the business running almost on autopilot in the next 6-12 months. To do that, he’s got to first perfect his sales process and then train someone else to do it. But he’s got a bit of a sales problem. After drafting a proposal and getting on a call with a client, too many people are just saying “no”—making it hard to get new web design clients on a regular basis. So today’s episode becomes a masterclass on selling your services without ever drafting up a proposal—which Clay and I believe are a massive waste of time and effort.

Jon’s got a highly technical business—which you’ll see as we chat with him on the episode today. That means that Jon is very smart when it comes to product design and 3D printing, but has a hard time translating that expertise into language that appeals to clients.

So in today’s episode, where I'm also joined by my friend and guest coach Matt Olpinski, we walk Jon through some important ways to think about messaging and marketing. Because, as a freelancer, you can offer the absolute best service on the market, but if you don’t know how to tell people about it, you’re in trouble.

Now, if that name sounds familiar, that’s because Margaret joined us originally on Season 8 to talk about her branding and design business.

Since we last talked, Margaret has had some luck on collaborating with other creatives, but is still struggling to build out the processes required to actually make a first contractor hire.

It’s a big hurdle, but if she can’t push through it, she might be stuck as a one-person business for the rest of her career.

We’ll get into some advice and tactical tips for Margaret and anyone unsure about building a team in today's episode.

Andrea has hired contractors to help grow her business in the past and just a month before this conversation, Andrea hired her first full-time employee.

Which is a big deal.

It’s also led Andrea to start wondering what exactly she needs to be doing as a manager or a leader which launches us into a great conversation about entrepreneurship vs. leadership.

]]> 3810 no Are You Optimizing for Profit? https://millo.co/podcasts/freelancetofounder On today’s episode, we chat with Yusef who’s building his own small product design agency. Yusef’s got a lot going for him: he’s got great cashflow, he’s getting new clients regularly, and he enjoys the work he’s doing. But when it comes to the most profitable projects in his business, he’s limited to working on only 8 at a time. That’s a big problem. And since Yusef hasn’t built out the infrastructure he needs to scale the most profitable part of his business, he can feel the impending plateau. So we walk Yusef through a few ways he can get over this hurdle and keep growing—without giving up 100% of the work he loves to do on a daily basis.

On today's bonus episode, I share with you a fun podcast called 'Remote Work' from the team at Citrix. You know how, before Covid, only a relative few of us knew how great it was to work from anywhere? Well, Remote Works is on a mission to highlight the new ways that millions of people are now working—from wherever they want. Remote Works features stories of digital nomads working from the beach in Barbados, Bali and beyond. But it’s not just stories about remote work on the beach. Each episode is full of insight and advice you can apply to your work and your team. I personally really enjoyed the episode about two women working in a tiny trapper’s cabin in the Arctic and dodging polar bears while fighting climate change.  I got a special sneak preview of season 2 of Remote Works, and I’ve been dying to share this episode with you so today, I’ve included, with permission from Remote Works, the full episode for your listening enjoyment. You can search for Remote Works anywhere you get your podcasts and I’ll include a link in the show notes to make it easy.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by a special guest coach, my friend Matt Olpinski, as we offer some coaching to Wyatt Hill.  Wyatt’s got a really unique situation: his boss allows him to make connections with customers at his day job and then pitch them his side-hustle services. While this setup is incredible, it also has Wyatt a bit worried: as he gets more successful, if he chooses to quit his day job, his client pipeline could dry up. So we spend the bulk of this episode showing Wyatt a few ways to attract the right kinds of projects on his own—without help from his boss. We talk about lots of tactics from SEO, to better contact forms, to online portfolios and Linkedin.

Today's guest faces the same question: "how can I turn down clients who aren't a good fit?" Do you ever get the feeling you're attracting the wrong kinds of clients for your freelance business or agency? Today's guest faces the same question: "how can I turn down clients who aren't a good fit?" Paul Chris Luke spent his first few years out of college working at an agency doing digital marketing.

After taking a year off to reflect on where his life was headed and finding his savings running out, he eventually felt the tug to get some clients and start working again. The problem is: when you start freelancing, it can be hard to find the right clients—or better yet—avoid the wrong ones Now, Paul finds himself wondering how to keep his company small while working with giant brands that want to scale.

That's what happened to today's guest, Jim Huffman. Jim runs GrowthHit, a conversion-focused agency serving tech companies and startups. When Covid-19 hit the U.S. in March of this year, Jim got an email from one of his clients asking to put their work “on hold”—which was all fine and well until another client cut them off….and another… and another.  The pandemic had led to Jim’s company losing almost half a million dollars in potential client sales for the year. To top it all off, Jim caught the coronavirus while traveling for work. Not long after, Jim recovered from the illness and his business rebounded from the loss.

He’s been an in-house web developer for the past 20 years, but at the end of 2018, Carl finally launched a small business of his own—L&L Web Consulting.

Carl saw some early success on Upwork, but when one client who was taking up 50 hours of his work-week suddenly halted their project, Carl was left wondering if sites like Upwork were the best way to get web design clients.

In the first half of today’s episode, we talk all about Upwork—should you be on it? Is it a good long-term strategy? And is it worth your time?

Then we round out the show with a great conversation on hiring a marketing expert, When is the right time to hire? How can you find the right person? And ideas for what to do if you literally have no budget for hiring but desperately need help.

]]> 3098 Why You're Failing at "Finding a Niche" https://millo.co/podcasts/freelancetofounder On today’s episode, we sit down with Margaret Ryland, a brand and identity designer who started her own design business not very long ago. Margaret is working hard trying to figure out exactly what kind of client to target which has left her listening to and reading a lot of advice about finding your freelance niche. Advice to "find your niche" in business is not uncommon on the Internet—you’ve probably seen it yourself. We've even published our own articles about it. But Clay and I worry that Margaret is rushing into niching down a little too fast. So in today’s conversation, we dissect why “find your niche” really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be—and what freelancers should be doing instead. We also talk about demanding full creative control from clients, ditching proposals, listing prices on your website, weeding out high-maintenance clients and lots more.

Instead, they just build another job for themselves—trading one annoying boss for a dozen high-maintenance clients. Eesh. In today's episode, we sit down with Bobby Macey, founder of Macey Media. After side-hustling through a series of frustrating lay-offs, Bobby finally decided to take matters into his own hands and start a content agency. He’s doing a lot of things right and his business is growing fast.
