Advice for young creatives: Mediocre work hurts everyone. Including the accounting department. You'll spend more in media supporting an inferior message, than you would if the work was well thought out and executed. Cut corners and you and your client will get what you deserve. If the money's tight, commit to doing less, better. Continued success, G.

How to land awesome clients! To all of my amazing friends who have unfortunately temporarily lost work over this past year I hope you find some massive value in this post. I was asked to speak at an event tonight to share my networking strategy by my good friend Kyle Rutledge e.g. How do I consistently land new clients? There’s a little more to it than what I’m about to share, but here are the 3 Main Principles that serve as the foundation that I use: 1 | Always do your best work! It doesn’t matter if the client is being cheap and low balling you. What you create always represents you, so always meet the higher level of your capabilities rather than the level of your budget. Remember: People are going to see your work no matter what budget was given to you. 2 | Love People. Networking will be a heck of a lot easier if you like the person you’re talking to and ultimately working with. People can feel how you interact with them and they want to work with someone they like just as much as you do. 3 | Leverage, Leverage, Leverage! When somebody gives you a $50K Budget make the project look like $100K. When somebody gives you $100K Budget make it look like $200K. Sacrifice your short term earnings for long term profitability. I’ve directed a number of $500K+ projects, but I only got there by first leveraging the $25K ones. You can do this! I know you can!

Check out the latest episode of Josh Hall's Web Design Business podcast! Yours truly was the guest. I talked about how I grew and continue to grow my agency by being relationship-focused. How I spent a year just making a name for myself in the industry and then suddenly things kind of blew up. I also cover how the relationships you maintain lead to huge opportunities down the road that you only thought were possible by large agencies despite being a 3-person team. #webdesign #marketing #agency #podcast

Tips on digital and print introductions (bios, profile pics, ethos) TL/DR they should be current and succinct. Things that keep us from updated headshots and content: Having your photo taken can be hard. Looking at pictures of yourself can be hard. Summarizing all you do in less than 30 words is communication cross-fit. The images and blurbs aren't for you, they are for others. 😺 Is it true that some people don't care if you are a dog person? Yep. 💸 Are some people shopping purely on price? Also, yep. ⚾ Do you run the risk of missing the mark? Uh-huh.  The chance that your message will hit home is more important than risk or fear. One thing we try to do in our work is create multiple opportunities to capture someone's attention. 📣 Ways to get the point across: 💱 Infographics for detail and number seekers 📰 Headlines for scanners 📖 Copy blocks for readers 📸 Photos for visual learners 🎥 Video for consumers My headshot on the Trampoline Design website was close to 8 years old. I don't use the filter on Zoom calls because I don't want people to meet me in person and think, "Yeesh, the years have been rough." So, new photo up on the site and new copy coming. Cobble those shoes, my cobbler pals.

Guilty! 🍓 Guilty! 🍓 Guilty! 🍓 Did Flamingo State's tactics of weaving current events into their email marketing compel me to take the leap and buy their overpriced jar of marinated strawberries? No. But it did cause me to pause and consume the content. Yes. Because they are talking to me like a friend. An overly dramatic friend, to be exact, which is amusing and makes me want to engage. Because how our friends, aka real humans, talk is RELATABLE. (now, I am being dramatic.) Small brand moments like these reveal a brand's personality and voice & tone. A strategy to build a deeper emotional connection over time. So while I didn't hit "purchase now," I am still following this brand, which means I'll likely purchase something later. #brand #emailmarketing #copy #voiceandtone #brandstrategy

In the process of getting the website redesigned. Personally, I can't design anything. Not even in Canva 🙃 So I'd love your feedback if you're open to providing it. Does this shout Scrappy ABM? A mix of "Get Stuff Done" mentality + sustainable & repeatable process? LMK below :)

Not knowing where to start is one of the most frustrating parts of marketing. Marketing strategy can be difficult because there are so many moving parts. Luckily, I have attached a template for you to use below! Hopefully it can help you crush your marketing like it helps our clients crush theirs.

This week marks 4 months since I launched a marketing agency 🤯 3 lessons I’ve learned in a short amount of time: 1️⃣ Don’t get attached to your ideas. Stay agile & open-minded. 2️⃣ There will always be work to do. Carve out time to unplug and rest. 3️⃣ If you plan on growing, build a strong, scalable foundation. 👏🏽 Especially #3. As we scale, I want to seamlessly onboard new employees and minimize the growing pains. And now that we’ve hired our first team member (🎉🎉), I’m glad I’ve put in the work ahead of time. Trainual has been an absolute lifesaver for this. Instead of winging it & patching things together, I’m able to leverage templates, documented processes, and SOPs to help us build well & grow efficiently. Less time working on our processes. More time celebrating our new Director of Business Development (more on that soon!). 🙌🏽 If you’re looking to effectively streamline and scale your biz, check out Trainual!

Case Study: LanderSulser (Redesign Website) Work Initiated: April 3, 2022 Project Completed: April 16, 2022 Client: Lander Sulser Lander is a copywriter, podcaster, and online business strategist. She knocked me after seeing my Facebook comments in a group where I was helping other people. She liked it and told me about her website. After the successful meeting, I found out her challenges and pitched her how we could redesign the site completely. Problems: • Broken design • No clear vision • Responsive problems • Visitors not engaging • Not SEO-optimized After addressing the issues, I started the work the same day we talked. It took a little more than a month to redesign the website and fix all the issues. Now the result is: • Clean & Unique design. • Responsive on all devices • Fast load time •GA setup properly • SEO setup properly • ROI increased. After the final delivery, the client was super happy. I’ve been working on monthly maintenance for her website since then. Are you facing the same issues on your website? What are you waiting for? Just DM me with “Website”. I will give you a free audit of your website. ♻️ Repost if you found this helpful. P.S. Need help with your website?

$400 project client vs. $4000 project client $400 client ❌Revisions upon revisions ❌Ideal word count? Infinity and beyond! ❌Can I pay in exposure? ❌Deadline yesterday.

4 easy ways to squeeze more money out of your website. (so simple you probably didn't think of it) 1. Use colors that trigger emotion ↳ Blue builds trust ↳ Orange encourages action ↳ Colors influence decision-making 2. Include human faces ↳ People are drawn to human faces ↳ Promotes comfort and captures attention 3. Keep it simple ↳ Too much info is overwhelming visitors ↳ A clean, simple design promotes action 4. Create urgency ↳ Tap into the natural desire to not miss out ↳ Add limited-time offers for visitors to act fast These are called neuro web design techniques that get inside the minds of your visitors, the right way. NOTE: If you do limited-time offers please stick to the limited-time aspect. If your visitor comes back and sees it's still there will only cause distrust in the future. Found this useful?
