    I’ve watched so many of these videos and my main takeaway is do something you genuinely enjoy. When first starting it’s easy to get overwhelmed when thinking of what you want to do but I believe as long as you do what you love, the money will follow. I’m the type of person that has many hobbies and interest so it’s hard to narrow that down but that can also be used to my advantage

    Put demand first. Brett filled a need by offering unlimited, affordable graphic design services.
    Price your service high. Brett started at $449/month and raised his prices to $88,000/month.
    Set boundaries. Brett created boundaries to protect his time, such as requiring clients to submit design requests asynchronously via a Trello board.
    Go after $5,000 clients, not $500 clients. Brett focused on clients who were willing to pay $5,000/year because he knew they would be high-value.
    Create a high-demand, low-touch service. Brett created a service that was in high demand but had low overhead. This allowed him to scale without increasing his time commitment.
    Build once, sell many. Brett increased his revenue by creating products that could be downloaded and sold repeatedly.

Without those years of knowledge and experience, Brett would have not been able to do the same thing. - I think we could spend a lot more time talking about that.

  • @jamesbenjamin3015
    @jamesbenjamin3015 2 месяца назад +1

    Very cool model. The one request at a time and 48hr delivery is key though. This way clients would realistically only get a couple requests fulfilled each month. There is simply not enough time in the month to fulfill that many requests this way. Unlimited feedback rounds is smart too, as with this model you want the client spending time on minor details, preventing them from having the time to request new designs. Clearly stating what design work you don't cover is a must too. He also added 'complex designs may take longer', covering that aspect too. Smart dude. I see Design Pickle uses 24 hr business hours turnaround, even more precise.

    Most companies want design in less than 48 hours with majority needing it same day. Not sure why most will pay thousands of dollars for a longer turn around time. I know they're paying for quality but I'm sure they can hire a designer for same or less that will be dedicated and active around the clock.

    This isn't the first video around here about the guy. What I still don't get and what all videos fail to explain is where the clients come from and how you actually close a deal. The graphic design market, just as any service market, is extremely oversaturated. It's basically race to the bottom for freelancers. So it sounds like you managed to reinvent the wheel and game the system by offering unlimited services for a flat price. But it's just pricing. Nobody cares about pricing tricks, it's not the point, and pricing alone won't get you new clients, especially larger brands. It's also a lie that there are only a handful of graphic designers out there who can deliver high quality services on time. There's an almost infinite number of them, at least a lot more than there's demand for. So this is a fake clickbait video that fails on multiple levels. I don't blame you tho: you just want to roll out videos fast as you can, and put the most ridiculous clickbait dollar sums on the thumbnail because you want to make a buck while you sleep. Who wouldn't want that, instead of wasting time properly investigating a business model and making a video that gives you something tangible.

    • @Iniiaki

Did you notice that?

      @@Iniiaki No. At the end of the day, it is what it is, a solo guy sitting in a room churning out designs. It's the definition of freelancer. You are talking about marketing. So the only difference between broke and millionaire graphic designer is their marketing skills - or lack thereof? This is a very simplistic view of the graphic design business. We all have the same marketing tools available to us: social media, ads, etc. There isn't a single link to this guy's portfolio anywhere. If there was, I bet most of us would say it's just OK but not $2M OK.

    One thing missed in 16x5K clients to make 1mil is 12 months multiplier.
    How many will stay full year paying 5K? This type of service is ultra rarely needing full-year maintenance. Most will stay for 2-3 months. Then you need to find new ones.
    So, something just does not add up, making this “genius structure” a nice candy coat of something else.
    If you need to find new clients every 2-3 months, you’ll be way more profitable doing the same and charging at least 2x fixed fee instead of a sub.

    • @wchristian2000
      @wchristian2000 9 месяцев назад

      First off: it is a business because he is offering a service directly to customers for a profit. And secondly, the reason his business is successful is because of the pricing model used (monthly subscription). Those two aspects of his business strategy are not unique on their own, but Brett combined them, which is something that was relatively new for his industry, and thus garnered a lot of attention/revenue for his business. A typical freelancer bills their clients on an hourly basis, even though they work for themselves, its a dynamic cost. Compared to the static monthly subscription model. I think it would help to widen your parameters on what a business is, as a business is anything where you are directly offering value to customers. A worker/employee sells their time/skills to a sole business/company. Business owners, freelancers, etc generally take on much more risk since their income is not fixed.

      Agreed. It’s an overly simplified model. I lost trust in the video when he said “companies know they’re getting a talented designer with years of experience” or something to that effect. They are skipping over crucial points that can make or break a business. All clients will unsubscribe if the price goes from 500 to 5000/mo. Also, all clients would want design reviews and implementation strategies. There will be emails, and calls and meetings. A client wants what he’s paying for, not a lucky packet - what I get is probably good enough.

    8:57 …then why would a client continue paying Brett’s monthly if websites are as said: “Build Once & Doesn’t Have to be Touched Up for Awhile”?

    It's funny how you say it wouldn't work for any other business since design has low touch but then Brett goes ahead on his channels saying everyone could do it, not matter the business you're in 🙈😛

    Why’s it called Solopreneur? Entrepreneur doesn’t mean multiple people start a business. Entrepreneur actually define as a person who starts a business

    • @starterstory
      @starterstory  4 месяца назад

      The idea behind being a solopreneur is to build a highly profitable business and not sacrifice your sanity and your life in the process.
      So even when your business starts seeing success and growth, you don't start pouring the profits of the business into hiring people and spending more money.
      This is just one way to build a business - it is not for everyone! Hope you enjoyed the video.

      Send email out to current clients ahead of time notifying them of the break, close gates on client signups, pause autorenew on current clients till back. That’s what I’d do anyway

    • @CB-gb4ep

      Hire a VA and outsource the work to another designer and/or get a partner and/or build a team.

    6 hours a day doesn't make sense at the start of this business. He would have had to put in way more hours at lower rates while searching for high-end customers. This video gives the impression you can sit at home, work 6 hours a day and build a million dollar solo business. Easy peasy. Show the hard work and stress he endured not misleading click bait.
