| Ep 9 | Why Focus Is Key To Getting Clients | With Felix Meens | 30 Aug 2022 | 00:45:57 | |
For Episode 9, my guest is Felix Meens,an experienced digital designer and Webflow developer based in Finland and founder of Webflix Studio.
As Felix says, when you focus your marketing efforts on one of these channels in particular, and become more clued up on how that platform works, you are more likely to get consistent clients. The problem with trying to get clients everywhere is that you will spend hours learning the ins and outs of each platform and becoming a generalist marketer rather than just focussing on one or two platforms to get clients to be a Webflow freelancer.

And this is all while being a dad too. As you probably know if you listen to this podcast regularly, success comes with some face plants along the way. The failures that we’ll talk about today are:

Today my guest is Jacob Sussman, CEO and co-founder of BX Studio. Now BX studio is interesting - it’s a webflow exclusive agency. They offer custom development, site migration, and ongoing maintenance and support services. Now what’s wild is that the studio launched in January 2022. Since then, BX studio has not only become a webflow enterprise partner, but has also created award winning work with brands in a variety of industries such as Headspace, Zipline and Square Roots. That’s mental health, drones and vertical farming. You may have seen Jacob talk about the most recent Webflow conf, or seen him on Twitter where very active. As anyone who has seen Taylor Swift’s documentary though, a meterioric rise to fame and fortune doesn’t come without it’s sacrifices and head in hand moments.

Welcome to Episode 74 of Webflail with Goodside Studio. Today my guests are Danielle Laroy and Jessica Strelioff. These two are long time creative collaborators but came together more formally last year to launch Goodside Studio. The ethos was: "One part visual. One part verbal. Weaving colour, concept, and copy into cohesive brand systems that scale.” Wait what? What does that mean? Well, Jessica is a brand identity designer with over 10 years experience working with the likes of Asana, Yahoo, Google and agencies such as Upperquad, Farm Design and Paladar. Danielle is a wordsmith that has smithed words for the likes of Patagonia, Robinhood and Google. To give you a taste of her wordsmithing, her website homepage says: Strategy with soul, Copy with character, Brands you want to hang out with. Alliteration for the nation. Has it all been as smooth as the words “copy with character" would suggest though? You guessed it. No it hasn’t. The failures we’ll talk about in today’s episode are:
