The Web Design Business Podcast turns 5 today!!! 🎉 What a ride it’s been so far (and I have no plans on slowing down.)

For this special milestone, I polled my community Web Designer Pro™ for questions and they delivered, asking some GREAT conversation starters.

So in this special, 5 year anniversary podcast episode, I’m dishing out the longest AMA session I’ve done to date at 2 hours!

The questions that came in were mainly in 3 categories:

1. Questions about the podcast (including guest selection, favorite episodes and monetization)
2. Questions about the business of web design (including what’s working today and what I would do differently)
3. Questions about online entrepreneurship (including sustainability, what marketing channels are working today and biggest challenge/best biz decision made )

So that’s what we dive into (in depth) on this one!

I hope you enjoy it and that you get some great takeaways to apply to your web design business and/or online entrepreneurial endeavors.

I also want to say a big THANK YOU for listening to the show on Apple, Spotify, etc or watching on YouTube. I have absolutely loved doing this show at least once a week for the last 5 years and have no plans of slowing down.

Means the world to me to see the reviews coming in, to hear your wins and feedback on how the podcast has helped you in your web design business so thank YOU for keeping this thing alive.

Want to say thanks or give me your feedback on this special occasion?

I don’t know about you…but I didn’t officially “launch” my web design business when I got started. I just kind of fumbled through starting my freelance journey. But if I were starting today, I would put much more effort and emphasis on creating an official “business launch.”

Now to the big question…how do you launch a web business successfully? i.e. Get clients fast?

Well, my guest in this podcast chat, Alexia Lynn launched her web design business in June of 2024 and got 3 new clients in her first 2 weeks after her amazing launch. So I can’t think of anyone better to learn from!

Alexia went ALL OUT for her launch and it’s paid off in a big way in just a few short months. And today, she’s pulling the curtain back on exactly what she did, step by step.

We cover:

• How she got her business ready in order to “launch with confidence”
• What marketing channels she decided to use
• How she built anticipation for her big launch
• How replying to comments kept her launch posts top of feed for weeks
• And even though it was a success, what she would do differently

If you enjoy hearing what worked for Alexia but would love a more step-by-step, checklist guide for your own launch plan…you’re in luck! She’s made her launch plan available FOR FREE at https://visualvibedesign.com/designer-launch-plan

Big thanks to Alexia for sharing everything she’s done in the first phase of her journey. Whether you’re preparing to launch your own web biz or you’re an established web designer looking for a revenue boost, you can use these strategies as well!

P.S. Alexia is a member of my community Web Designer Pro and will be doing a live training breaking this launch plan down in more detail in November 2024! Join today to catch the live training or have access to the replay.
