This dude looks like a crack head. Working on a computer all day is not worth millions . I bet he wouldn't be bald if he wasn't stressed tf out editing all day
I'm a designer of 20+ years. Worked on everything from Redbull and Reebok to Kevin Hart and Cardie B. This dude has nailed it. I have felt how broken the agency style model is for a long time but didn't think this is possible. He's really nailed the niche with the tech startups who need quick turnaround and want to go to market asap. I'll be using some tips here to refine my business model. Cause the lengths I go to to pull down 20-25k/month is excessive most the time.
About to set up something similar. I have around 7 years experience in Product Design UI/UX as well as some branding experience. If I can do around 10k I’d be happy
@@ryangreen45 It's simple math. It's cheaper for companies to hire this guy (with a subscription they can temporarily post-pone when they've run out of work) then to hire a fulltime designer. As long as the delivery of the requests is fast enough it's simply a good offer.
Just wanna say I appreciate you asking good clarification questions. Too many times hosts of podcasts or interviews ask a question, it gets a vague answer, and they move on. But you dig in, you ask for more detail on each step, ask for their process, etc. All questions the listener is wishing would be asked but usually never is. I don't normally comment on stuff on RUclips or use the like button but this deserved it big time.
That’s how I always feel listening to podcasts as well haha it’s so frustrating. I really want to understand how these people make their thing work because often times the tiny nuances are what make it special. Thanks for going out of your way to acknowledge that means alot!
I'm obsessed with your business model! I launch my own membership on June 7th! It was all because you... you really inspired me to review and Pivot my business model. THANK YOU!!!
I watched him on another platform and am watching him here again- seriously love his transparency…he is a mesmerising influence on us all…just like he is an anomaly to himself….he creates disbelief that things can really be this simple. But I’ve reworked a few things and already am seeing how it could generate better simpler outcomes allowing me to start sooner than later!
After viewing thousands of yt vids this one jumps to the top 5. Generosity, transparency, humility, massive value from the guest and comprehensive and insightful questions from the host/interviewer. Bravo! Encore! Already shared with my uber talented (biased much?😅) digital artist daughter.
Brett wanted to take the time write out a comment. I currently live in New York City and worked in investment banking (quit my job this past week). I have watched most of your podcasts and some of your videos regarding AI & no code software. I love how informative your videos are and have learned a ton since I started to watch your content. Really appreciate all of the hard work and value that you provide. I never write comments but wanted to make an exception because you've done an absolutely phenomenal job.
i appreciate you going out of your way to say that my man! I try to find a wide range of guests that can exhibit their expertise through detailed questioning. I love seeing the commonalities in all of their thought processes then getting into the specifics of their craft. I rarely comment on youtubers videos as well so it means a lot Wendell!
His course is great. It’s quick and short but easily worth the price for what you get. I’ve been following his work for a while and am taking some aspects of this and applying to my 3d Rendering business. Great interview!
@@ThisDesignLife I’m moving away from offering services based on 90 minute sessions and instead going to utilize a time based model for a fixed fee with a request queue.
This is one of the best and most informative videos I’ve seen in a while. Straight facts, no fluff and so much valuable information. Loved this!!! Keep it up.
Love this! I’ve been a pro copywriter working for a lot of ad firms and brands the last 15 years and there’s been a TON of ups and downs. Especially the last few years! This has my wheels spinning BIG time. Thanks for sharing!
Don't know if this is your intention or not but Brett you're got a good talent for podcasting (asking good questions, not interrupting guests, pushing guests to answer unclear / vague questions and replies) so you should definitely take in more guests and push this podcast, I feel like you could really be huge in this space, but you might also have tons of other stuff on your table. How about taking in Web3 founders / co-founders and hear their thoughts? Mainly NFT projects because I think most people follow you because of NFTs. Founder of RFTKT, BAYC, Moonbirds, 9Gag etc etc. Or talk to Web2 brands who has entered the space but failed e.g McClaren or interview Web2 companies who WANTS to enter the space but has no idea how.
Thank you divine those words mean a lot! I want to have Luca Netz from pudgy penguins on ASAP what they have been doing is spot on IMO. It would be interesting to hear the business models of those projects as well we will have to see if they are open to it.
although I haven't fully watched the video and have just started now, i've gotta say. this youtube channel provides immense value and i thank you for the insight you give. i enjoy watching these long form videos
AWESOME - There's a LOT of really great info in this podcast. THANK YOU BRETT for clarifying his toolset. I think I learned so much about some new tools I didn't even know existed before. The using some that I already knew about in new and interesting ways. Those things are absolute GOLD. AND to hear his model of subscription based, pause/cancel anytime, no contracts is brilliant!! As a guy that came from the business side of things, this will definitely attract clients. BUT one VERY important point that I think newbies need to realize. He said that he had to work extremely hard for long periods of time in his life to acquire the necessary skills ALL BEFORE launching his business. YES he did clarify these points in the pod, which was good to hear and he even said "perhaps I should have made this clear earlier on" which is really good too. SO there was NO misleading info. It's just that newbies or people that are really frustrated in life may think "Oh cool.....I just do what he did and start cashing phat checks." But there was MUCH more time involved in this.
No lie brett I've been watching you since the early NFT days content, this was your best content ever produced no cap this was full of so many gems kudos to you for broadcasting this to the world🔥
OK, this specific podcast really changed the way I do business. I do not do design but mainly web design, development, marketing, paid ads, etc, for content creators. I found myself having clients and spending endless time on comms admin, gathering info they sent through emails, DMs, WhatsApp, Messenger, you name it. I also created custom service packages for each, which added time for negotiations, contracts, etc. As a one-man band, I could not afford to lose this time. So this video inspired me to offer my services as a product, and the time back I got to actually work on client work and business development is mad. Thanks, both of you, for a fantastic podcast!
Stoked to hear how in depth you guys got. I’m based in Scottsdale and currently traveling the world (Milan, Singapore, Shanghai, Romania, NYC, LA) teaching an Ai workflow for packaging designers. Now is the time to break out of the 9-5 grind!!
@@khazana24 Anyone can travel like this if you build a personal brand and help to educate everyone in your industry. Most people keep what they learn secret because they feel they will be able to get ahead, the true secret is that by sharing what you know people will want to learn from you and will quickly spread the word about what you do. Try it!
@@FaridShahidinejad That's awesome! Are you interested in developing packaging designs with Ai? I have a few brands that are looking for Ai creators that have asked if I knew anyone interested.
Wow, assumption-based design (ABD) is such a powerful concept! If we generalize, we could use this concept in other situations. For example, a content marketer could review a website and write a proposal for a Content Marketing campaign or system based on assumptions derived from his analysis of the website. He then sends the proposal (or better yet, the actual Content Marketing Plan) to the prospect who owns the website. Whether or not the Content Marketing Plan suits the needs of the prospect, he will probably be impressed by how proactive and committed to his craft the content marketer is. If the prospects doesn't need or want content marketing, fine. But if there's a need, I doubt that he would call on other content marketer since THIS ONE has clearly proven how passionate, committed and customer-centric he is! Thanks Brett for the idea!
I paid for Brett's course. The majority of it is 5 minute audio recordings of him saying the same things he says in interview videos. There's 6 "video" lessons which are 5 minute Loom recordings. He doesn't show any actual numbers. He doesn't show any actual clients. He doesn't show actual proof that he's doing this with anyone. He also states blatant lies like he still uses the free version of Trello but that's impossible because it only allows 10 members/guests but he says he has 16 clients. So he's lying that he uses the free version or he uses the cheapest $5/month option and invites them as guests which you can have 1 guest per board, but I'm not sure why he doesn't just say that. I'm happy the course was only $100 but it was honestly a waste of money and while Brett is smart to share the idea of his system he falls flat in actually showing any proof that he's doing it. He also hasn't responded to anyone in the course community for over 7 months despite it saying he was active "1 hour ago." There's a number of people in the community who have said they've requested a refund but hasn't gotten a response from Brett about it.
I'M NEW TO BTC AND I'VE BEEN MAKING LOSSES TRYING TO MAKE PROFIT MYSELF IN TRADING...I THOUGHT TRADING ON DEMO ACCOUNT IS JUST LIKE TRADING THE REAL MARKET... CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT OR AT LEAST ADVICE ME ON WHAT TO DO?
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor their trade.. I will advice you to stop trading on your own it's very risky. Seek advice of a professional trader.
Dropping gold in these videos man!!! I'm new to your channel and also new to starting an agency. My goal is to start a one man digital marketing/web development agency that generates $10k/month. Most videos i come across are very vague and dont go in depth at all, but yours do 👌👍
I am at the very beginning stages of making the transition to this model. What's funny is I actually came to the conclusion on my own and then came across this guy and he's confirmed my hypothesis. The Idea is to eliminate a lot of the headache for companies and get rid of all the little extra annoyances.
Great podcast, but I really missed him explaining how he manages the flow of work, if clients can put in unlimited requests.. How can you service your clients in time, when they all want to have a website at the same time? What happens when you’re sick for a couple days? Every new client you get must make the waiting time longer for the rest of the clients? How to manage this?
This podcast was amazing, and if you have ran any sort of creative service business before, this is all you need to get going with Brett's model Incredible value in this video. Though at $150 I am definitely purchasing his course. Even just seeing his trello board would be worth that for me
How is it possible? He has 24 clients (120,000$/5000). And each client has a queue for his requests. So practically he should be working on 24 request at a time? Or this queue is for all customers? Then there can be one month lasting project and other clients will get nothing?
Exactly - and especially for moms :D i have a nearly 8 figure company, with 2 kids and a 4-day workweek. 1 Person Empires are on the rise :D Very cool interview. Never thought about leaving the online education industry as a one-woman show. So that is really cool. And the sales page visuals alone are stunning. :D
I don't believe you. Your 10 million dollar company must be in rubles or something. Why are so many scammers chiming in and trying to occupy this "let's sell course to sucker" space. I hate you all. I made money building houses, you guys steal for a living. Shame on you.
I also feel a strong urgency in making as much money as possible now cause AI is coming to destroy everything it seems not only me but having cash to take advantage of AI as well.
daniel pink- free agent nation..four hour work week-tim ferris..this is nothing new it is an iteration of being self-employed and doing what you are really good at. i ❤❤❤ this podcast! and courses are going to be around forever. it is completely fine to make a helluva lot of money!
You are so inspiring...I've been 3 weeks and I'm trying to share my journey of paying off $124k of debt in just 16 months back in 2020 and I have remained focused towards retirement goal and increased rental property and maintain modest lifestyle financially and became a minimalist... 71 subscribers and 55 video..mostly shorts, but I really just can't figure this thing out because I want to share that journey to hope others could use to help them❤❤❤
luv luv that he touched on working in those spaces where you just can't use those work samples to propel yourself forward. And creating samples just to have a nicer portfolio. I totally relate to that. The mundane work shows ability but not impressive as portfolio pieces. I so can relate fully to that. I struggle with that. I used to create samples of imaginary projects and stopped. but there is so much merit to that.
Brett you are a talented podcaster... asking clarifying questions about the processes.. im going to share this video in my management class.... we are learning about processes.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
raising prices, charging more, reduces ya stress and workloads. it gives you a cushion to take on work that you want vs what you have to do. thats why you start a biz to work exactly the way you want and charge for your very valuable time
Commendable success but Definitely not the first or even second to it. It is duplicatable but I would caution anyone who tries. There are a lot of factors involved including speed, commoditization of design, and wether you care about being a thought leader. He’s also noted in other videos that he works A LOT. So take this model into account but weigh all the pros and cons.
Doesn't talk much about the work/life balance involved with being a solopreneur. How do you take a single day off when there's 20 companies depending on your service? Super profitable, but it seems like a snowball rolling down a mountain, no way to stop it or slow it down once it starts going.
I really hate when someone say "develop"/"developer" about putting a design from "Figma" into etc "Workflow"... thats not devloping, at all.. dont call yourself a developer... Your a person, who maybe can edit a little code here and there... you are not a developer at all, you are what we call where i come from, a "Templater".
Super curious how this could translate into video production. Video is a beast in terms of workflow and time, but id love to hear about someone using this model as a video editor
how does his clients can tell him what they want properly??if he only uses trello board thing and i also remember that you said in another video you use something similar to this for a thumbnail can you tell me how can clinets like you give them what you want
hey bro ! love your content and honesty ,you are giving to the world ! can you please make short video about your eating habits and nutrition you are using your everyday life . you mentioned in one video , that that was one thing that if you would know it before , you would be better off with your life even more earlyer , i think that knowledge would be soooo valuable for everyday people to know and would get peoples life better , living by principle that first take care of yourself , then everything else gets better ! thanks ahead , and keep up your good work , looking foward your new content ! much love , cheers !
Hilarious 80k/ mo and still at W2. You forgot to ask if he put his W2 work assignments into the job's own Trello. I was wondering does his old company have the same rate to his clients at the time? He mentioned that companies had sunk at full time. I wonder if the w2 job paid more per month or less than clients and just thought of them as another client in his list that paid more than others.
Great video and operating model! Solo, Intake, Agile, Kanban, Iterative, Status! As a business and IT consultant I’ve have been looking for that monthly subscription model to offer products and services and watching this just solidified the ideas. Thank you! By the way, I love Midjourney and ChatGPT 😊
The studio setup is awesome. Can you please make a video on this, a walk through around your space, with what all equipments and accessories you use. Thanks.
Great interview, awsome topic! One observation: He has great 5K/mo clients, and it's only when he releases a product for $150 that he begins getting a bunch of complaining. Makes sense. No wonder he wouldn't sell another course! Yikes!
Hey Brett, Wondering if you can cover things about business structure like LLC, sole proprietor, freelance-model, accounting/finance, etc. Do these people hire accountants? Who does the taxes? Those sorts of things.
Intrigued to know how he manages when too much work is coming his way? He doesn’t seem to outsource much and didn’t really speak to if all of a sudden he gets 20 new clients, how he does it.
I'M so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Jeffrey kathryn, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.
I have only one question. Why companies, knowing that one person is behind the design project, will buy a subscription? After all, this means that if, for example, 4 companies bought a subscription, companies share the working time of one person among themselves. Which means that they will not be able to get the amount of work that they could get by hiring a personal designer. And I’m not even talking about the fact that there may be more people who bought a subscription and they will simply wait in line for one person to be busy with other orders.
I'm assuming the cost to entry is low enough for companies that his availability is enough for a very consistent expected and budget-able cost per month compared to other agencies where their final bills may vary wildly. He said he only has 25 clients currently and about 10 of them aren't using him for anything. He also said his turn around time is fast enough to make it work. I imagine if you have 5 current clients all with 1 ask, he knocks out all of those in a week and restarts the queue of clients in the same order, so you the companies get about 1 ask done per week, depending on the size of the ask.
Company could hire 1 senior designer for 65k - 100k. Or subscribe(5k) to this guy for every month/project they need him. No need to find and develop relationships with contractors or hiring a designer that they don't have enough work for. It's cost and time efficient.
He probably has outsourced designers that he trained. Turn around time of 48 hours with a one man show seems very hard. Especially with 10 active clients.

Dropping gold in these videos man!!! I'm new to your channel and also new to starting an agency. My goal is to start a one man digital marketing/web development agency that generates $10k/month. Most videos i come across are very vague and dont go in depth at all, but yours do 👌👍
This is my first time watching Brett and I’m blown by how good his podcast is. Thank you for the awesome interview and keep up the good work.
Love it. Just started a vinyl buisness specializing in custom graphic design. Very useful and helpful. Thank you both.
I am at the very beginning stages of making the transition to this model. What's funny is I actually came to the conclusion on my own and then came across this guy and he's confirmed my hypothesis. The Idea is to eliminate a lot of the headache for companies and get rid of all the little extra annoyances.
Justin and Dan are my Boys! Dan speaks on self improvement as something that you can monetize.
brett the way you deal with the interview pace without a scheme is mindblowing to me
Thanks a lot for this interview and all the insights from the guest. Huge mindshift, this guy breaks the rules.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First time watching your pod, instant sub! great video
This is one of the most useful videos I've seen in a lot of time, really quality content. Thanks!!
Great podcast, but I really missed him explaining how he manages the flow of work, if clients can put in unlimited requests..
How can you service your clients in time, when they all want to have a website at the same time?
What happens when you’re sick for a couple days?
Every new client you get must make the waiting time longer for the rest of the clients? How to manage this?
I'm in the process of building my own website for this exact purpose! very inspiring talk, thank you guys.
One Person business will be the creator of the future in the next 10 years or so the creator will be where the people turn to rather than big business
I just watched this guy on starter story channel dayum this dude is all over different channels.
They’re pushing him hard now
Fantastic interview. I agree you’re an amazing podcaster, asked incredible questions.
This podcast was amazing, and if you have ran any sort of creative service business before, this is all you need to get going with Brett's model Incredible value in this video.
Though at $150 I am definitely purchasing his course. Even just seeing his trello board would be worth that for me
Couldn't agree more!
Essentially created his own Personal Fiverr so to speak and getting paid Wayyyy more on his own terms and conditions. ❤
I love your camera switches. They make it more professional
How is it possible? He has 24 clients (120,000$/5000). And each client has a queue for his requests. So practically he should be working on 24 request at a time? Or this queue is for all customers? Then there can be one month lasting project and other clients will get nothing?
Incredible questions and a simple workflow. Absolute gold!
I was looking to update my design business. This makes sense. Thanks.
Exactly - and especially for moms :D i have a nearly 8 figure company, with 2 kids and a 4-day workweek. 1 Person Empires are on the rise :D Very cool interview. Never thought about leaving the online education industry as a one-woman show. So that is really cool. And the sales page visuals alone are stunning. :D
I don't believe you. Your 10 million dollar company must be in rubles or something. Why are so many scammers chiming in and trying to occupy this "let's sell course to sucker" space. I hate you all. I made money building houses, you guys steal for a living. Shame on you.
Brett: hands down, you have one of the best channels of all time.
I also feel a strong urgency in making as much money as possible now cause AI is coming to destroy everything it seems not only me but having cash to take advantage of AI as well.
Amazing. I will think about how to apply this to real estate for owners who want to sell multiple properties!
daniel pink- free agent nation..four hour work week-tim ferris..this is nothing new it is an iteration of being self-employed and doing what you are really good at. i ❤❤❤ this podcast! and courses are going to be around forever. it is completely fine to make a helluva lot of money!
You are so inspiring...I've been 3 weeks and I'm trying to share my journey of paying off $124k of debt in just 16 months back in 2020 and I have remained focused towards retirement goal and increased rental property and maintain modest lifestyle financially and became a minimalist... 71 subscribers and 55 video..mostly shorts, but I really just can't figure this thing out because I want to share that journey to hope others could use to help them❤❤❤
Never thought I’d see Brett interview Brett.
luv luv that he touched on working in those spaces where you just can't use those work samples to propel yourself forward. And creating samples just to have a nicer portfolio. I totally relate to that. The mundane work shows ability but not impressive as portfolio pieces. I so can relate fully to that. I struggle with that. I used to create samples of imaginary projects and stopped. but there is so much merit to that.
Brett you are a talented podcaster... asking clarifying questions about the processes.. im going to share this video in my management class.... we are learning about processes.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
You are right
But I don't know why people remain poor due to ignorance
raising prices, charging more, reduces ya stress and workloads. it gives you a cushion to take on work that you want vs what you have to do. thats why you start a biz to work exactly the way you want and charge for your very valuable time
My Guy Brett here is really asking valuable questions!
Commendable success but Definitely not the first or even second to it. It is duplicatable but I would caution anyone who tries. There are a lot of factors involved including speed, commoditization of design, and wether you care about being a thought leader. He’s also noted in other videos that he works A LOT. So take this model into account but weigh all the pros and cons.
Doesn't talk much about the work/life balance involved with being a solopreneur. How do you take a single day off when there's 20 companies depending on your service? Super profitable, but it seems like a snowball rolling down a mountain, no way to stop it or slow it down once it starts going.
Easiely one of the highest value videos I've watched recently, much appreciated Brett ✌
I really hate when someone say "develop"/"developer" about putting a design from "Figma" into etc "Workflow"... thats not devloping, at all.. dont call yourself a developer... Your a person, who maybe can edit a little code here and there... you are not a developer at all, you are what we call where i come from, a "Templater".
Lol!!
Yoo, I had no idea you were sharing an office with Sebastian!! I was in your office just a few months ago 😂😂😂
Such good questions and natural guiding of the interview. Really enjoyed this.
Super curious how this could translate into video production. Video is a beast in terms of workflow and time, but id love to hear about someone using this model as a video editor
how does his clients can tell him what they want properly??if he only uses trello board thing and i also remember that you said in another video you use something similar to this for a thumbnail can you tell me how can clinets like you give them what you want
He's a scammer
@@mattm7426 y do think like that
Thank you! This was a great interview and the questions asked were on point that really helped to pull quality information. 🙌🏽🤩
Great business model, I do wonder how he is going to tackle a couple of days (or more) of sickness, or even a week off ?
Love this! Was just having this convo 😊 algorithms are real!
hey bro !
love your content and honesty ,you are giving to the world !
can you please make short video about your eating habits and nutrition you are using your everyday life .
you mentioned in one video , that that was one thing that if you would know it before , you would be better off with your life even more earlyer , i think that knowledge would be soooo valuable for everyday people to know and would get peoples life better , living by principle that first take care of yourself , then everything else gets better !
thanks ahead , and keep up your good work , looking foward your new content !
much love , cheers !
Hilarious 80k/ mo and still at W2. You forgot to ask if he put his W2 work assignments into the job's own Trello. I was wondering does his old company have the same rate to his clients at the time? He mentioned that companies had sunk at full time. I wonder if the w2 job paid more per month or less than clients and just thought of them as another client in his list that paid more than others.
Great video and operating model! Solo, Intake, Agile, Kanban, Iterative, Status! As a business and IT consultant I’ve have been looking for that monthly subscription model to offer products and services and watching this just solidified the ideas. Thank you! By the way, I love Midjourney and ChatGPT 😊
Brett - you are the man! I love the questions you are asking. 🤗
So much value!!! Thank you guys for this brilliant video!
If he has 20 clients in a month and he has two day delivery of finished product, how doest he can make it happen??
The studio setup is awesome. Can you please make a video on this, a walk through around your space, with what all equipments and accessories you use. Thanks.
This was such a great video, super informative, just subbed 🔥
Great interview, awsome topic! One observation: He has great 5K/mo clients, and it's only when he releases a product for $150 that he begins getting a bunch of complaining. Makes sense. No wonder he wouldn't sell another course! Yikes!
Hey Brett,
Wondering if you can cover things about business structure like LLC, sole proprietor, freelance-model, accounting/finance, etc. Do these people hire accountants? Who does the taxes? Those sorts of things.
Fantastic pod, listened all the way through
Banger
Excited for yours it’s going to inspire a lot of people!
Does he have backup for if he would get sick? Working alone is tough.
That intro has got me HYPED up boi LETS GET IT
In history, there has never been a more click-bait title. Well done for reaching the bottom of the internet.
Intrigued to know how he manages when too much work is coming his way?
He doesn’t seem to outsource much and didn’t really speak to if all of a sudden he gets 20 new clients, how he does it.
I'M so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
How does this trading stuff work? am really interested but just don't know how to go about it heard people really make it huge trading
trading is easier with proper guidance, especially from a professional, Newbies who are not aware of how crypto truly works and wish to make profits from it, I would advise to invest with a professional like Jeffrey kathryn, It helps secure and minimize the possibilities of losses.
Talking of being successful! am blessed because I met someone who is as spectacular as Expert Mrs JeffreyKathryn-fx
She helped me recover all that I lost while trying to trade for my self...
I've never heard or seen any of her clients complain of lost....I think she is just too perfect..
Second video I’ve watched. You’ve earned my subscription! Thanks for the content.
Thanks both Brett! Your video really opened my eyes. And I started the course:)
Speed is a quality of its own.
Hands up if somebody became solomilionaire after watching this video since 6 months ago😏
I have
I have only one question. Why companies, knowing that one person is behind the design project, will buy a subscription? After all, this means that if, for example, 4 companies bought a subscription, companies share the working time of one person among themselves. Which means that they will not be able to get the amount of work that they could get by hiring a personal designer. And I’m not even talking about the fact that there may be more people who bought a subscription and they will simply wait in line for one person to be busy with other orders.
I'm assuming the cost to entry is low enough for companies that his availability is enough for a very consistent expected and budget-able cost per month compared to other agencies where their final bills may vary wildly. He said he only has 25 clients currently and about 10 of them aren't using him for anything. He also said his turn around time is fast enough to make it work. I imagine if you have 5 current clients all with 1 ask, he knocks out all of those in a week and restarts the queue of clients in the same order, so you the companies get about 1 ask done per week, depending on the size of the ask.
Company could hire 1 senior designer for 65k - 100k. Or subscribe(5k) to this guy for every month/project they need him. No need to find and develop relationships with contractors or hiring a designer that they don't have enough work for. It's cost and time efficient.
@@donventura2116 And they don't have to worry about paying benefits, bonuses, raises or spend time and resources training him.
He probably has outsourced designers that he trained. Turn around time of 48 hours with a one man show seems very hard. Especially with 10 active clients.
@@donventura2116 But on the other hand, they hire a person for almost the same money for the month, but he works for another 10+ clients.
