Remember that gig?
The one that emailed you 5 times a day looking for updates…
Where the client was always late getting you assets and then expected you to work all night to meet their deadline…
And paid you so little it made you question going into it for yourself in the first place?
Let’s call it what it is folks →
A shit job.
Freelancers around the world can all relate at some point in their careers…
Maybe for you it’s happening right now.
There’s actually a pretty simple solution so you never have to take a shit job again just to pay the bills.
The problem:
You’re overworked and underpaid.
Which leaves you with no time to look for new (better) clients because you’re so busy working to fulfill commitments to your current clients, but the pay is so low you can’t afford to hire any help.
So you’re stuck in a vicious cycle, working long hours for low profits (and getting burnt out in the process).
The benefit of solving it:
You start actually growing your business with high paying clients that respect your expertise, value your time, with projects that genuinely interest or challenge you (instead of driving you to drink).
Why what you’ve tried has failed:
You feel obligated to say yes to every less-than-great opportunity because of the never-ending financial demands of rent, groceries, health insurance, your cousin’s wedding, your mom’s birthday, inflation, you name it!
Here’s how to solve it:
Build a consistent lead generation system so always know where your next gig is coming from…
And you have a list of potential clients and projects that you can choose from.
Because when you have options, you don’t feel desperate to take a bad offer/
You’ve got 5 other convos going on with warm leads, so it’s just onto the next one.
Job boards like Upwork and Fiverr are where many freelancers go for lead gen at first…
This is effective for finding work quickly, but those on the platform know competition is high and it’s usually a race to the bottom on price.
The “good” jobs, with high-paying clients that respect your time, are handed out long before it ever hits a job board →
Their network gets first dibs.
So if you spend time getting to know the people who hand out the work in the first place…
You get the first shot.
Right now, there's no better place on earth to do that than on LinkedIn.
And you don’t even need to be posting content to make it work!
With my method specifically for service providers and freelancers, you spend 15 mins a day on LinkedIn and warm leads start coming to you instead of the other way around.
It’s just $34 (recording included) and if you show up live, I guarantee you will get 34 new leads by August or your money back.
Close just 10% of those, and that's 4 new clients before the summer is even over.
There’s no risk to you, (expect finally nailing a lead gen system for your freelancing business 😉).
Register here, and do it now or you might forget over the weekend.
And trust me, you don’t want to miss it.
See you there,
Jamie
