      How do you find out how much your client is making in sales as a result of you running their social media pages for example. Is this supposed to be done on an honor system basis to trust that they’ll tell you or is there a process you put in place to have access to this information?

      @@BigDustyAl not much of a process, just understanding your strengths and weaknesses. I did start freelancing a couple years so I do have 5 clients I work with on daily basis who will be my first official customers. I am primarily in “Digital Marketing” but I realized I was actually good at SEO, SEM and Social Media Marketing. Haven’t launched anything official, just been creating website content, wire frames for the website and finding processes so I can automate a lot of the day to day. Since I don’t have a website I still cold call local small businesses to help them out and take them on as clients. With a fancy website my plan of action was to reach out to startups with a focus on SaaS companies. In my case I rely on my patience. Shoot me a DM if you have any questions.

    I used to watch you for affiliate marketing some years ago. I moved on from that to other ventures. When learning about these things, such as Print on Demand, I often wished that I could find someone like you teaching this, but can't. You are straight up, honest, knowledgeable and practical. You are guided by ethics. You are detailed in your advice.
    I recently started trying to do marketing as a freelancer. I thought today, maybe I can turn it into an actual company and thought starting a Digital Marketing Agency is my way. I googled it and you were the first one I came across. I'm so glad I did.

    What's needed? Liquid cash. Everyone only has credit. If you have stacks of cash, you can capitalize on everyone's credit. A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying.

      But for now, we just want to get familiaire with everything marketing. Completely self taught and since this post was posted we already landed a few new clients!
      About the expierence, its all about that proof of concept in our eyes, start local! We also decided to do something very unique, we decided to use a system that if someone fixes us a succesful client (so a client who paid and got at our door because of that person) We give them 50 euros to convert us a succesful client (you could say its a refferal program)
      This motivates people to do some organic advertising for us. And we also went to a lot of local stores and places to ask if we could put our business cards there, whilest talking about our refferal program to the owner of that shop/service, we now are getting random requests because of this and I think being flexible is a big one for us too.
      Anyways, goodluck on your journey!

Building some credibility first and then moving up with the price range. Altho we are aware that these prices are low as hell. We just dont want to overvalue ourselfs (yet) before obtaining full confidence in our service and making sure we are worth what we ask. I gues you could call it a strategic way of building up fast and efficient.

    I started life as a photographer but wanted to get into marketing as I tended to lean towards product photography, I’m currently doing my MSc in Marketing and during this time I am currently building a marketing portfolio, we actually have a module called applied professional practice where you need to get work experience for a month and one of the choices was “venture creation” so I jumped on that. When I complete my masters I want a website, with a good few clients on it. I would like to get into hospitality (I’ve been a waiter and cook for 5 years) as I think that’s where my niche of photography and videography is really needed. I am also doing my research project on the effects of professional photography on perceived value in a restaurant setting, so I would like to see how much people would pay for a certain meal based on profession photography compared to diy photography. So hopefully this will give me data to show to future clients to convince them that investing in their photography can actually enable them to charge more because customers are likely to perceive them in higher regard compared to a restaurant with amateurish images.
    I totally agree that you need to do a few free jobs, I did this when building my photography portfolio and a good few of the companies got back to me offering me paid work when they realised the images were well received on social media. Someone in my class was saying “I don’t believe in giving my time for nothing in return” and our careers advisor agreed then I said “but what do they get out of paying a student with zero marketing experience, zero portfolio and credibility? They might as well hire a professional, and you do get something out of it… experience, testimonial and potentially your first paying client. Student barbers give out free hair cuts, new restaurants often give out free samples” also working for free at the start to build up a portfolio allows you room to make and learn from mistakes, when you’re charging from the get go, you can’t make these mistakes

      Specialization is the biggest lie our educational system teaches us. Do you know how people who specialize end up with? Working at a job they hate, with a mediocre salary, living in fear that the only thing they know how to do will become irrelevant and they won't have a job anymore. If you look at every successful person in history they were all good at AT LEAST 2-3 things. Especially as an entrepreneur you need to be good at marketing, sales, branding, technology, management, negotiation and so on. Yeah you don't have to be an expert at everything, but you have to be at least OK at everything. Sure you can outsource things as you start to grow your team and build your business, but even then, the more skills you have, the better you'll be able to lead your organization, not to mention that when you're starting from scratch you have to do everything, and you better do it well if you want to succeed.
      Me I've been a generalist all my life, mostly because I never wanted to feel constrained to a single path in life, and while it's true that I'm not as good as other programmers (that being my main job) who only did that for years and years, I've been able to profit from opportunities they would never be able to access, just because I also know a little bit of business, a little bit of design and a little bit of sales, besides knowing programming. And I'm optimist that even though my colleagues will make a little bit more money than me in the short run, in the long run my combination of skills will lead me to success.

      Work on a performance based model. I charge you for 20% of your gross monthly increase from when I joined. ie you were making $1,000 a month on average before…now you’re making $11,000 - that’s $10,000 extra - 20% of that is $2,000.
      You can also charge a small retainer on top of that as well…if you need
      To cover costs. Pay me $200 a month just to retain my services and add the performance based amount.
      That’s how I do some of my models.
      One size does not fit all - but this is an extremely juicy way of reeling clients in. Low risk for them - high reward for you, if you get it right.

      Value is a subjective concept and therefore it is impossible to quantify it in dollars. It's important to know or judge your client's financials in order to form a better judgement about how much he can afford. If he thinks you're quoting way too high ask him to pay 10-20% of the additional revenue generated by digital marketing. He would decline this offer if he perceives your quote to be lower and affordable. A lot depends on how you negotiate.
