108: How to build a slow, hustle-free business that withstands economic slow-downs, featuring The Copywriter Club
In this episode of ill communication, I’m sharing a rebroadcast of an episode I recorded with my friends Rob and Kira over on The Copywriter Club podcast.
I have had several copywriters reach out to me after listening to this episode because in it I talk about some of the practical and tactical ways I started my freelancing business, how I find clients, and how I've weathered the economic slowdown that has caused a lot of us to see a downturn in our revenue.
In particular, people seemed to resonate with the notion of building a business slowly and steadily and not getting caught up in the hype and the hustle to be the biggest success on the block.
Even if you're not a copywriter, you should listen to this full episode, because the tips and strategies I share about referrals, finding clients, building a slower hustle-free business, and creating offers will apply to every small business out there.
