You’re a solopreneur, who doesn’t necessarily want the hassle of running your own agency.
After all, building a successful agency requires administration and management on top of marketing skills. You would rather work in your business than on it most days of the week.
You want to build a sizeable income, using the tools the modern era gives you. We can help you with that!
Our Vision For You:
We want to teach you to be a successful solopreneur. The goal is to show you how to scale your income as quickly as possible, so you can ditch the traditional 9-5 and build the life you want.
However, the freedom you want requires effort and sacrifice on the front end. We want to give you the knowledge and skills you need to navigate the complex and fast-changing digital marketplace.
We have resources to show you the ropes, from gaining the first few clients, all the way to specializing in order to open up deep new revenue streams.
Why Offline Sharks:
The founders of Offline Sharks both got their start as solopreneurs. The only reason we operate successful agencies now is because we built them around successful solo work. We know what it’s like to be your own boss, and work hard to stay that way.
Our expertise as freelancers & consultants became the cornerstone of our agency. Even today, we delegate the management and administration so that we can focus on local marketing. And this way, we actually do the things we teach.
What We’ll Teach:
As a freelancer, you need a set of skills surrounding your services, and a set of skills surrounding your clients.
Half the battle is marketing. Learning how to help businesses with their digital marketing – SEO, PPC, content, and social media. These are the basic skills necessary to help your clients and get them hungry for more.
The other half of the battle is freelancing itself. You need to know how to gain and retain clients. You need to systematize and automate as many of your processes as possible, in order to make the best use of your time. You need to understand what opportunities to say “Yes” to, and which ones to decline.
We’ll show you how to land your first client, how to develop social proof and how to flesh out your portfolio. We’ll teach you how to structure your business, build your website, and network with agencies and other freelancers to find opportunities for new accounts.
