Hey subscriber. I wrote a short eBook called You’re On Your Own.
It's available today via PDF and Kindle here. It will teach you a huge amount about how to get your own agency up and running, and take about two hours to read.
See, I talk to A LOT of people at the very beginning of their agency journey — or maybe even before the beginning — who are looking for some rapid-fire tips on getting started.
They ask questions like:
How do I decide what my agency does?
How do I stand out?
How do I get my first clients?
How do I charge for my work?
What’s the best way to run projects?
Should I hire employees? If so, who should I hire first?
Am I even capable of running a company?
Maybe I’ve even talked to one of you about these questions. Well, I love talking to these people, and that’s who I wrote this for. I wanted to put all my combined 20 years(!) of experience working through those “day one” problems into one compendium.
Basically, it's the guide I wish I'd had in the early days of Metalab.
I really hope it helps you get started, and if you’re already started, I hope it keeps you going. It costs a small amount. I think it’s worth it.
I’m incredibly proud of this little project. Enjoy. Please share. And if you like it, email me and tell me :)
