    Hey Payton, great video! I have a question: How much money were you making as a freelancer before you hired some people, and what roles did you get team members for at first? I would love to know!

    Such good timing. I’m currently switching to agency and was still trying to make sure I’m making the right decision, this video is perfect. Thanks so much

    Great video as always, Payton! Also you should do an office tour video for fun. Very inspired by how you designed it.

    I am a solo freelancer. There are pros and cons of working for and by yourself. But, I've been thinking about hiring a team for a while now. Thanks for the info, Payton!

    The point on paying salaries is redundant because you can have a 6 figure agency without any full time employees
    Just pay per contract

    Hello, Payton. Great work as always. Thank you.
    I have a rather personal question:
    During your first year in business as a solo freelancer, approximately how many websites were you able to make during that first year alone? I understand it was a gruelling year at your beginning.
    Also, I was wondering what you think might be a reasonable expectation of the number of websites built in the course of a year as a freelancer specifically?
    Cheers and thank you.🙏

    I'm currently a freelancer looking to make the switch to agency. I have only been freelancing for a couple of months and I'm already feeling the constraints of doing it all myself. I'm already starting to network with other designers and I'm definitely not going to wait to burn out to start my agency, so thank you for this video.

    Hey Payton, I have a question regarding starting an agency. Does your team consist of contractors that get paid per project or are they salaried?

  • @EddyVinck
    @EddyVinck Před 2 lety

    I’m currently building my own business website. I do this part-time next to my 4-day job, and I want to build a team in the future.

    Nope. SAAS will make you the most money. Stop selling your time for money. Sell your service at scale.
