I love the fact that you addressed that it doesn’t need to be perfect in the beginning. This os something I struggled with so long and that was holding me back for so long.
I was not even 2 minutes down the the video, And your honesty in saying " I will put everything out without holding back any information" Made me subscribe your channel right away trust me.
Anna, your content and attitude are life changing. It helped me gain so much more confidence as a new freelancer, spot gaps in my knowledge and begin to create a process that helps both me and my clients. You've saved me months if not years of my life - thank you.
I've been running a small team of creatives as a media & marketing company for 7 years. THIS VIDEO has more value than anything or anyone I've spoken to (lot's and lot's of people) in those years! I have been shifting the business over the past 6 months and have been pulling together some of these parts but haven't release the new branding and funnel to anyone as I keep getting stuck thinking about having it all before launching. One thing that has been hard has been how different the business model seemed to other businesses, so the conversations always seemed to point away from our offerings. Today LUA MEDIA is coming alive and I will iterate the remaining changes throughout 2024! Thank you...
It is CRAZY to me that you only have 900 subs, the detail is insane! You literally lay it ALL out there. AND giving us your resources for free. You’ve put so much work into this, I can’t wait to see the fruit of your seed come back to you through growth of this channel Thankyou so much, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for and needing
TRANSPARENCY, I LOVE IT. You're awesome. Right now, you have 5.93K subscribers and I can't wait to see the first 100K. You are so generous with your knowledge and you make it so simple and doable. Big like and support for you and I can't wait to see your success with this channel. THANK YOU
EVERYBODY ELSE has pretty much already said,... but I'll say it again -- VERY WELL DONE, great detail, and presented with just enough detail to remain on point on not overwhelm us in the process. Thanks for sharing your time and talent.
Your offer should depend on how much the average order the client is charging their customer! What an absolute nugget. I just did a website for a tech company who’s brining in multi million clients. Now I feel like I charged way less 😅
To create a no-brainer offer in my country I need to work full day for $5 and never have more than several clients cuz they all write 1 day before their deadline. Brilliant.
Could you make a video please explaining how you deal with the backend or any services your clients might ask you to implement in their websites, which services or platforms do you prefer to use if necessary, and how you price your work after all this services? i think that is the only thing i really don't understand, even more with framer, i know you can add custom react code and all that, but really would love to listen to your method seeing you have much experience at this and with framer. Thank you for all the videos Anna.
😍😍 I am a fullstack web developer for 15 years . Working at a startup . Not my startup . I have few clients only for freelance . Mainly because my personal freelance website in wordpress is not having enough content . I will follow this video and implement steps 😍😍
I'm a react developer and I do backend with php & laravel now learning node js for backend would you please let me know how to get client's or start freelancing?
Really amazing to see your content. As a web designer and dveloper I have also a plan to create an agency. Getting related clients and managing them is one of the most important things in this sector. Hope you will make more videos in Getting and Managing clients... Thanks
My plan for this year is to get myself in a better position to do web development as my main source of income (at the moment it's very much an "on the side for people i know" kind of thing) and this looks very helpful. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Thank you for the time and effort you spent on doing this.
It's obvious right from the start when someone is giving you an submission. Anna, thank you for sharing with me your million dollar strategies for free 🎉🎉.
People like you are just wonderful. I bought your web design templates a few months ago and they more than worth the price. I'm happy to be a witness to your successful journey. Keep it up!
Great insights for anyone starting a web development agency! I actually have a full setup (domain, hosting, social media) ready to go but don’t have time to grow it myself due to other commitments. Any advice on what I should do with it?
I love the insights at the beginning of the video; the note regarding the ease of selling what you know (vs marketing products) really hit home for me. I suspect the rest of the video will be just as satisfying, but I couldn't help but say a preliminary thank you!
@@thegreatestyoutubeuser Tip 1: IF YOU DONT HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW EDITING WORKS - YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH HOW THE PROCESS OF EDITING GOES THEN COMES TO THE PRICING PART - REASEARCH THE MARKET BY DIGGING INTO SOME TOP 5 FREELANCING PLATFORMS: FIVERR, UPWORK, FREELANCER, ETC. SEE HOW THE PRICING OF VIDEOS ARE BEING CHARGED AND FOR WHAT QUALITY OF VIDEO. TIP 2: BUILD A PORTFOLIO OF YOUR WORKS LIKE WHICH YOU ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE EDITING STYLE, SOME EDITORS FOCUSES ONLY ON DOCUMENTARIES, WHILE SOME FOCUSES ON SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS, Pixar style animation, etc. Tip 3: CREATE SYSTEMS - client's onboarding process, what will be your primary and secondary payment methods, FAQs, testimonials, your previous work experience, TIP 4: Marketing: THE SIMPLEST BUT NOT EASY PART - Create OMNICHANNEL MARKETING STRATGEY, DONT JUST RELY ON ONE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM BUT HAVE OMNI PRESENCE - CREATE ATLEAST 6 VIDEOS SHOWING WHAT YOU DO - IF YOUR WORK IS GREAT YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CLIENTS IN FIRST 7 DAYS. Tip5: if you have big competitors - dont fight you will end up in decreasing your profits - instead collaborate with them. there's hell loit of things - this comment section is too small to discuss.
The tech industry is a bloodbath of mass layoffs, outsourcing, and AI replacements. The auto repair industry, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. Even if you're a service writer and not a mechanic, you're guaranteed to have an endless supply of work and a secure job, and the work comes to you.
Thanks a bunch! I'm seriously impressed with how you packed so much important info into just the right amount of time. Eagerly awaiting the next video!
@@theannahickman noooo!! one of the reasons that I love your content is that it’s easy to digest, it’s real and usually actionable steps to take. A lot of other people say a lot without saying anything or say so much that you don’t understand so you walk away feeling like you aren’t knowledgeable enough to take on that task
Amazing video, coming just in time for me! Thank you so much 🫡 I did a project where my friend and I did everything. We made the brand visual identity (logo, color palette, fonts, graphics), signage, cards, menus, social media content, AND website. All for 7k! Niching down now towards just websites and a particular audience so this video really came just in time. Need the rest of the videos ASAP!! 🙏🏼
This sounds like great information but I don't have any design skills to create a business around. Can you make a video about how to learn web/brand design?
Damn, if this does not make you viral I'm going to scream at the virality gods and demand justice. Joke aside, this is incredibly well done. Thanks so much 🙌🏼
At the moment i've been struggling between building a pod business or looking at freelancing work atm noting having a job so been very difficult to make a choice given having no income coming in every month bills wise i,m fine for a while its just trying to pick something thats not going to cost a lot every month to top up anyway amazing video you've made me think.
Anna, I just watched your incredible TH-cam video on the web design course - huge appreciation for your efforts and detailed insights! Your dedication is truly commendable. Excited and hopeful that 2024 is my year for growth. Quick question: You mentioned using Framer in the course, which is awesome! Will you also be covering SEO aspects within the Framer tool? Looking forward to diving into the course! 🚀
Thanks for this clear and detailed video. Duplicated the notion workbook template that you shared in the description and I'm I'm trying to fill in the offer template but I can't access the base rate per project section. It says: You don't have access to the database referenced by this view How do I get around this?
Its what im doing . I haven’t got a clue in how to do any sort of design. Just star your agency vet a few serious free lancers and then employ them cut them a deal/% per job. Your job is managing marketing getting clients and cutting deals.
Hi Anna, Thank you so much for these amazing videos, super helpful and clear. I'm wondering , if you can share about other types of retainer services for web design? I also heard about lead generation retainer, is there such a thing? Thank you!
Thank you so much Anna, this is so helpful and to the point, I am always struggling with my niche and this is my issue which makes my journey hard. Can't wait for your next video. 🙂
This is wild to see you set a goal for 10,000 but to see you at 20.5K. I found your videos like 2 weeks ago and it's inspired my husband and I to expand our web design business. Thank you so much for all of this information! When we first started last year I was so lost on what to do and just decided to start and now I find your videos at the perfect time to expand what we are doing after getting a few clients done. Truly a huge help to us!
I have a question about the niche topic, I am happy about every opinion I can get. So you said find a niche and be an expert in it, which makes totally sense. I like to design the overall corporate identity of companies and especially webdesign. But for a good webdesign there is a need for a styleguide/branding guideline. So I approached it this way. I put the webpart into the center and tell i offer everything about the web, which means: branding (build color palette to build web on, logo which can be used on the website), Image/Photo Editing for creating images for the web, Videos, which can be used in the hero section and even 3D-Models, which can be build into websites (3d-models are kind of our hobbyhorse). What do you think about this approach? Is it to broad? Does it not appear professional (mentioning your sushi example)? I also want to add, that sometimes for companies it is convenient to get everything out of one hand, meaning they dont need to find a photographer, the dont need to find an animator for the video on the hero section, they get everything out of one hand, which is a selling point. Isn't that the purpose of an agency in some way? I'm curious about your opinions and would be happy to read some.

Anna you did amazing on this video. Do you do zooms ?
as a beginner web designer this video is nothing less than gold also love all the alex hormozi's learnings you are using in web design
This is seriously good. I'm going to implement everything I've learned from this video. You're awesome. Thanks for making this video.
