How to Get Web Design Clients with NO Outreach! (New Strategy)

[@VinniEdit]

Brother i loved your video... you blow my mind to some points of my career. I've been working as an editor for over 5 years, and now I'm looking to expand and work internationally. I started creating content about editing to see if I can attract clients, and I hope it works out, haha. thanks for that

[@patrickspiegel]

Thanks so much!! Really glad you liked it. How has it been going so far?

[@AK-lj2pg]

Thank you for these valuable insights. This fits very well with what I myself am currently working out. As a starter web designer, I approach potential clients and offer them a free website analysis, which I discuss with them in person later (one still lives nearby). This strategy seems like the ideal extension to this service. Question: If I wanted to do this on LinkedIn, can I just choose any company to make such a video for or would I have to ask permission first? I imagine not everyone has to be very happy about this....

[@patrickspiegel]

Glad you liked it! Best would definitely be to ask for permission first, but sometimes it can be tricky to get it. But it's a great form of outreach as well.

[@117zenith]

Haven't watched the video yet. But I can imagine an April Fools version of this which is something like "All you have to do is become a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience" or "You need to create a MySpace page because it's a super untapped space no one is talking about".

Thanks so much Mohammad! The only real way of getting better at anything is practise. Choose one accent that you'd like to sound like and listen & speak as much as you can :) Record yourself speaking, and then listen to it to figure out what you need to improve etc. Let me know what you think about that :)

[@nickwoodward819]

Cool idea. Couple of questions if you don't mind - This is pretty linked to the visual side of things, right? I guess you could do content too, but it would be hard to do for say SEO, or site performance (because ultimately that would probably involve moving their platforms, or it would be difficult to show for example the impact of image resizing or compression) Also, would you recommend a minimium standard of website you critique? IE: is it better to critique an already professional looking site in order to attract higher value customers, or go for more obvious issues on a less professional site? Thanks a lot!

[@patrickspiegel]

Great questions Nick! But you're wrong 😉. In the Pro 💎 Skool, I show 3 accounts that have more than 20K, 50K & 100K followers that get clients by talking about SEO, systems (not visual) and technical aspects of websites. So this doesn't apply to only designs or so :) Critique any website that you can. As in critique the websites of your ideal clients!

[@nickwoodward819]

@@patrickspiegel wrong? doesn't sound like me ;) tbf, you did say @4:00 that it's about avoiding the "technical seo stuff" - and i think i broadly agree, clients don't care, i just wanted to clarify. do think this is a good way to go, but think there might be struggles explaining to a customer in a short why my cloudflare site is better than their wordpress hosted site in anything other than technical terms.

[@patrickspiegel]

@@nickwoodward819 Well that's a good point you bring up actually! So it depends on exactly what your offer is of course, but you could go into the technical aspect of it a bit. Or I would rather call it "system proof", where you show the overall funnel, system of your services which can help explain why it is so effective etc.

[@jeffersonsmith5959]

​@@patrickspiegeli think he means without having to do sales call Because me too I'm not a native English speaker, I'm better through text.

[@patrickspiegel]

I think so as well. It can be tricky to sign clients without sales calls. The best way to sell websites without having calls is to build trust before hand. The best way to do this is with a great portfolio or social media accounts. So either posting content and showing that you’re an expert. Or building great accounts on freelancing platforms.

Hey Patrick I checked out the profile of the person that was making this “free audit” for instagram pages in the online fitness industry, and I can see they ask to comment for a specific word to get their audit, I guess they collect emails after that, but what if we don’t have that Manychat setup yet but still want to start a conversation with the people who are interested, do you manually DM people who comment or how do you do a proper CTA after this specific content?

@ET.AIMusic some do. The vast vast majority don’t. Which is good for the ones who do 😉

[@ET.AIMusic]

@@patrickspiegel It's still a viable approach, don't get me wrong, but numbers don't lie and it's already a very popular approach. Again, some aren't successful at it, for example due to having no proposal/added value, or like you mentioned, they aren't explaining the "Why me?" and the benefits / pain points their service is supposed to solve. But saying this is not outreach or not popular is not correct across the board. Different niches even different services (not just web design, that is among the most saturated niches as goes providers/agencies).

[@patrickspiegel]

​@@ET.AIMusic Yeah no I completely understand and appreciate the comments! :) But the primary focus is to create inbound content (no outreach), but it acts as a form of outreach as an added bonus ;) (In my opinion). And this is just one of manyyy types of content web designers can create.

[@patrickspiegel]

😆 I don’t know about that. Will you give this method a try?

[@ultradesigninspirations5585]

yes definitely, tbh i got this idea a month back, like the whole content marketing funnel thing, i have already started my Instagram page. but my niche is not web design, its graphic design. my plan is to create at least create content for a month then start posting (as in my research i have found that posting regularly at same time makes HUGE impact, more then we think) but then 3 things are coming in my way, maybe you can shed some light on these? first, if i try to make content related to graphic design like cool fonts to use / short tutorial / design breakdown etc, my content will appeal to graphic designers only and of course they are not going to become clients, rather ill have to try to sell some course or digital products such as textures, brushes etc to ultimately make money. my question from this context is how to make this content marketing funnel to appeal to real clients? like for logo designs or flyer etc. second, i also know how to make websites (wordpress, elementor). but i dont have real website clients yet as compared to graphic design (i work in fiverr and have done more than 150 orders) so now i am thinking if i try to start web design content marketing funnel, ill have to put my focus here and make a whole new social media for this, cant do both graphic and web together as it will hamper quality. so imo i shouldn’t do both. so my question from second context is should i fully move to web design or stick to graphic 😅 will love your opinion/suggestion.

[@patrickspiegel]

@ultradesigninspirations5585 I would stick to why you know for now. And I would recommend posting designs, logos, and focus on the why. Why do your services help your clients. Rather than showing them tips on how to make a nice logo, focus on showing them your work and why it will help their business. Also document your journey. You can record videos of you designing etc. this will help build trust and a personal connection with you as a brand. Hope that gives you some ideas.
