346 - Landing $7,500 Website Projects (in the first year of business) with Ben Forred

Web Design Business with Josh Hall

If you’re an established web designer, think back to your first year in business. What was your highest paid project? Aside from some exceptions, I’m guessing it was in the low-thousands…or hundreds.
Well, Ben Forred, a web designer who’s still in his first year of business, building it as a side hustle alongside full-time corporate employment recently landed a $7,500 website package and in this podcast chat, shares the entire journey on how he did it.
We cover:

• What Ben did to speed-learn and be able to build websites from start to finish in a few months
• How Ben created and refined his offers and price-points
• How he utilized his background to discover an untapped niche
• His genius process of selling a low-ticket item first to build trust
• How he turned a $1k website project into $7,500

This is a bit of a 2-part convo because we also dig into Ben’s desire to leave his corporate job to have the freedom and flexibility he wants in his personal life as a Dad to a growing young family.
Ben’s story on how he got into web design really sets the stage for the quick progress he’s made in less than a year. It’s evident that he’s serious about this web business and is going for it - and as one of our top engaged members of Web Designer Pro™…I feel honored to have a part in his journey.
Incredible first year that he expands on here. Next step…6-figures and freedom!
