Profit-Sharing with Agencies

Profit-Sharing with Agencies

Author: Millo March 20, 2025 Duration: 1:00:58
In today’s episode, we learned that working with agencies is a great way to fill your client pipeline regularly. But how does the money work if an agency will “white label” your services? Who gets what? How much? And when? These are the types of questions Nathan asks himself as he grows his business. He’s got a few partnerships in the works, but he’s unsure how to set up the money side. Naturally, we have a few ideas for him to try. Plus, we talk about how much to charge in your particular market and more.  It’s all in this episode of ‘Freelance to Founder.’ Let’s go. This episode was originally published on August 3, 2023.

There’s a common gap between working for yourself and truly building something that lasts, and Freelance to Founder lives in that space. This isn’t just theory; it’s a daily conversation for freelancers who are tired of the unpredictable income and ready to create a real business. Host Preston Lee draws from his own journey from freelancer to someone who has built and sold companies, and he brings that grounded perspective to every episode. Nearly every weekday, Preston is joined by other founders and entrepreneurs who’ve navigated the same path, breaking down the practical steps you can take to scale your solo operation. The call-in format means you’re hearing real questions from people in the trenches, facing the same client issues, pricing dilemmas, and growth plateaus you might be. Listening to this podcast feels like having a direct line to a supportive and experienced mastermind group, one that focuses on actionable strategies over vague inspiration. It’s for the designer, writer, developer, or consultant who’s ready to move beyond the feast-or-famine cycle and lay the foundation for something more substantial and sustainable. The discussions are candid, the advice is tested, and the goal is always clear: helping you transition from a solo practitioner to the founder of a thriving business.
