The Agencies & Freelancers Chat Thread / Mastermind

[FJ123]

I feel it's just a nice round number that they can mentally justify.

Serving bigger clients with bigger budgets may be a solution, but another solution could be figuring out how to stack those £500/mth clients, and/or upsell them on other services that bring even more business.

There's a limit to the amount of work a sole-trader can do, so it makes sense that they'll max out at some point. Some will then hire others, and some will decide not to.

Do you get the feeling that sole traders can be quite erratic? If there's a dry season they can panic and over react?

Best results I get is when the client is relaxed, not desperate and understands leads naturally go up and down.

I have been dabbling with creating reels. It's fun to film these guys in their natural element - and it's easy to justify the service if they get good views and more subs. Social media can generate leads - though it's harder to measure.

EXECUTION QUESTION  Thread 'Was this action faking? I want your opinion'

Oct 6, 2026

I wanted to start working on helping wedding venues and providing them with services to:

• improve their website, so they convert better
• improve their SEO, so they attract more customers
• remove friction points for the people who are looking at their websites​

I was waking up early in the morning and doing 2 or 3 hours of just building stuff, like a wedding price calculator, a site grader, a traffic tracker, etc.

After I started reading UNSCRIPTED again and just going through the concepts, I came across action faking, which I forgot about.

I wanted to ask you guys who...
