Want to specialize your freelance business? This is the 5th episode in the series to niche down and I'll walk you through how to find and land that first client. There are 6 steps that you need to do in order to find and land that client. Can you land 1, 2, maybe 5 new clients in this first test of your market? Obviously, it depends on your availability and service. But if you can land one or 2 then you’ve moved in that direction towards your specialty. It may not seem like a lot, but you need that first step into it. As you learn from these interactions, talks, and projects, you’ll position yourself better for the next round. You’ll start to build a library of case studies related to the specialty. And more importantly remain on track because you have focused your organic sales around a specific market and away from being that generalist.

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.
