TL;DR

On the JoshHall.co web design show we dive into 5 top tips for starting a freelance web design business including the importance of marketing and community.

We talk about how I’ve grown my freelance web design business significantly over the last year and dive into 5 top tips that have helped me grow my business along with getting into a wide ranging conversation involving copywriting, marketing, the power of community, benefits of premium vs free content and so much more.

Here’s a quick summary of my 5 tips:

Community – talk and share with others & give back.
Marketing – learn marketing skills. Permission marketing & develop empathy for your clients.
Gratitude – focus on positive mental attitude and being of service not just making money.
Invest in yourself – free content is like finding a bunch of bread crumbs whereas a full course or premium training is like the full meal.
Learn to say NO! – free yourself up for the “yes” and good, prioritised opportunities.
