A93 - How does a freelance web designer build a client profile when preparing their marketing plans?

Author: Jason Resnick July 4, 2018 Duration: 6:04
This is a great question because thinking about your pricing and marketing is very much something that most freelancers don’t think too much about until they need that next project. However, where I think you need to unpack it a little bit is that your 2 target markets have very different ideas around what they need for their businesses.

Jason Resnick runs a web development and design business, and he’s heard all the questions that keep independent creators up at night. Twice a week, he opens up the inbox for Ask Rezzz, turning those real-world frustrations into practical, actionable advice. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to someone who's navigated the same tricky terrain. You'll hear Jason tackle the messy, everyday problems-like dealing with a perpetually late client, figuring out how to build a stable stream of recurring revenue, or shifting your practice to attract clients who truly value your work. The tone is straightforward and conversational, focusing on sustainable strategies over quick fixes. If you're building a creative business and find yourself feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this podcast offers a regular dose of clarity from someone who gets it. Each episode feels like a focused coaching session, designed to help you move past the hurdles and grow a business that respects your time and expertise.
