Hey Webflailers - it’s Jack.

I got messaged recently about how to get in to freelancing. My advice? Get a job at an agency first 😂

More on that in today's article.

So, let's goooo 🚀

  • The Quickest Way To Get Better At Freelancing

The Quickest Way To Get Better At Freelancing

Alright, here's a curveball for you: The quickest way to get better at freelancing?

Get a job.

Wait, what? Yes, you read it right! That's my opinion. I'm prepared to fight my corner about it.

Here's why


Ep 65 | "I Got Scammed" - Why Choosing Collaborators Carefully Saves You Money And Time | With Martina And Juan

These two are the dynamic duo of 473 agency based in Argentina. Their work is stunning - clean, colourful and well-considered. They leave no stone unturned. What I love about them too is that they are quietly very funny people. In fact, on their website it says '98% of the time, our clients return. It's actually 100% but for some reason 98% sounds even better'. I love this. I got to know these two when they worked on the Slater rebrand, where they smashed it out the park. And I also saw them speak at Friend’s agency’s Estado de Flow event in Buenos Aires, where they encouraged us all to be more coriander which we’ll talk about in this episode.

The failures that we'll talk about in this episode are:

  1. Launching in the US market,
  2. Their creative direction getting hijacked
  3. Getting scammed with relationships not working out.
