Question
After years of relying on referrals I have reached a stalemate to get more consistent design work. I have tried re-positioning, Facebook, strategic partnerships and have been told to do webinars, funnel offers and PPC. Design as a service alone is a commodity unless its positioned correctly - so I have come from the angle of art + science, that is Conversion and Aesthetics. However, I dont want to waste my marketing dollars to acquire news leads and potential clients - but so far, nothing has worked out and there is little resources to see how other freelancers acquire their customers online. Any help appreciated
Answer
1 of the projects I haven't yet touched would be developing UXDesigners.com, which I own. Ditto AppDesigners.com.
My business model would be based around helping UX designers acquire customers.
So far, I don't know much about the challenges UX designers like you are facing. That means I have no advice for you – none that I'm confident enough in to charge for, anyway. But I am interested in your problems, in case my project can one day solve them.
