The best way to get a new client? Referrals. But this was before my personal brand Today it’s a different game. If I would start today, I would do it this way: 1// CREATE A PERSONAL BRAND Most freelancers hang out on Upwork. Big mistake. You will fight for pennies. Solution? A personal brand. You can show your value in a unique way. People will perceive your work  as much more valuable. Now, you can offer your service for a high price. 2// OPTIMISE YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE A personal brand is not enough. You need to convince others that you are the ONE solution. Here’s what you need: • Clear bio • Banner with your vision • Pinned post showing your results High-quality presence = High-quality prospects. 3// CONTENT SYSTEM A personal brand is just your gate. Top of your funnel. You need to make people trust you. This is where good content comes in. Share these: • Stories • Value insights • Client case studies People will never buy if they don’t trust you having the expertise. SUMMARY • Create a personal brand • Optimise your presence • Have a content system Thanks so much for reading! If you found this post valuable, share it. Follow me @Alex_elnaugh

AI search is not about tricking the algorithm. It is about making your business easier to understand. Comment “AI” and I’ll send you a free AI Visibility Report. Most websites are not built for how people search today. Most websites have: → Vague service pages → Thin case studies → Buried proof → Missing FAQs → Weak CTAs → Poor page structure → No clear answers to buyer questions Then businesses wonder why Google, ChatGPT or Perplexity are not recommending them. But here's the problem: You have not given them enough clear information to work with. The fix is not always technical. Sometimes it's simple: → Clearer navigation → Better H1, H2 and H3 structure → Stronger FAQs based on real search terms → Specific service pages instead of one broad page → Clear CTAs people actually understand → Direct answers to the questions buyers are already asking This is the work most businesses have avoided. AI search just makes it harder to ignore. That is why we created the Free AI Visibility Report. We review your website and give you a simple snapshot of: → What is working → What is missing → What to improve first Harsh truth: Your site is probably not showing up as clearly as you think. Comment “AI” and I’ll send you the link.

This is the energy

I’m looking for people who build things who turn ideas into products, content, systems, businesses. Not talkers. Makers. Where are you? Where are you building? Let’s level up the network.

I’m doing something crazy today. My entire freelance system, the same one that helped me build better systems, smarter business decisions growth is available for £1. (Originally £297.) Why? Because this year has been a complete game changer for me plus I want to give back. You’ve all supported my journey, and today I’m paying it forward. Grab it for £1 (today only).

£1M in the bank to afford anything decent in London. It’s mentally draining. Where else can we go?

Thanks Phoebes I’ve never coded in my life Anyone else?

When did you last use Google search?

The most empowering asset to anyone Is a partner who supports your dreams but also tells you to stop bitching and get to work “I believe in you” - never hit so hard

The top freelances are the ones who move Stop sitting once you get to a comfortable spot Keep it moving, keep learning, keep pushing Aim high

Just when you think your old work isn’t relevant This pops up Grab it here for free: figma.com/community/file/116…

Posting design work online isn’t enough to attract clients. You need to market yourself, share your services, and make it easy for prospects to reach you. Add links to your portfolio or services. Show up where your ideal clients are. No one will back you like you can.

Good freelancers get clients. Great freelancers get business partners.

Modern agencies overcomplicate everything. Discovery stage = endless meetings charged by the hour. Process flow = Over engineered on every detail. Delivery = Broken into parts, fearing they won’t get paid. I stopped working like that. I keep it simple: - Clear scope SOW - Fair price / times for both sides - Straight to delivering the goods Work shouldn’t feel like a maze. It should be simple, clear, and built on trust.
