This course is designed to teach you how to build and market a "hybrid" digital agency. You'll enjoy the freedom of a freelancer while leveraging the earning power of an agency. In this course, you will learn how to build your business plan and create a unique selling "position" based upon your personal strengths and preferences. You will learn how to set your pricing on 3-different levels or tiers. This will enable you to capture every imaginable buyer-type, from the lower-end to the higher-end clients. I will also be sharing with you my client contracts, my personal marketing system, and how I get free publicity through the mainstream media. My 20+ years of experience have taught me how to create straight-forward systems and processes that will help you avoid the burnout and stress that is commonplace in our industry.
This program is for: Solopreneurs and Freelancers looking to scale without building a full-blown, time-consuming, digital agency business. Agency owners who are stressed out - investing a full-time effort into generating part-time profits. Beginner to Intermediate Entrepreneurs who are looking to start, build and market a successful digital agency. Veterans who've hit a ceiling and are seriously considering throwing in the towel.
