Incredibly informative content. We have been in the software development industry for 20 years but every agency can find insights in this video. Thank you!
This is very inspirational. I am in a similar situation from when you started the agency. Just got laid off from my tech job and Really got thinking about the direction I wanted to go in my life. This is definitely something I can get into, that can be a bridge to my actual Software/Hardware company as a whole. Appreciate this video.
How do you handle marketing and social media channels, do one need a social media marketer in getting started and a website and which social media channel should one start with?
What do you say about no code/low code tools for building an agency and helping startup founders and entrepreneurs to builds their mvps and products affordably?
I'm based in Canada at started my Custom Software firm in 2014. The one thing I'd say that's a big advantage in starting a software business is there is very little you need to get going. I was worried about business registration, payroll, etc...but really, the main thing you need to get going is your first client. Everything else (business registration, incorporation, hiring, payroll, benefits etc.) I figured out as I went along. So my recommendation is just focus on getting that first client.
I have a software company in China, we can do outsource or custom software. We have experience over 10 years and have a stable team of 30 people. recently because I personally may go to North America to life. so I'm going to expand Canada or US market. but I have no idea how to start. I saw you're very professional. i'm impressed by you. so I wish get in touch with you. I don't know if you have businesses in North America. we can communicate with each other. at the same time, I know a lot about the China market and have plenty of friends. I don't know if you're interested in China market.
Do you think I could start an agency with purely contractors and free lancers, I have lots of sales experience and I understand bubble and other no code apps very well, I just can’t actually code or produce apps myself.
We don't really have this. However once we had a case where we had to deliver software in a very short period of time then we got the extra bonus. Anoter interesting case is to become affiliate partner of your client. For example you develop a software for our clients and help him distribute it. Then for every new paying user you get % :)
I found the easiest way to find your first few clients is your friends and family. When I started, I sent out an email to EVERYBODY on my contact list and I got my first client 7 days later. After that the word spread a bit. No question, networking helps to, but just letting people know you are available for hire can go a long way.
