Welcome to episode 105 of Webflail and I am joined by the almighty Luke Netti!Now you've probably seen Luke floating around on the Twittersphere, but if you haven't, Luke does a lot. Websites for businesses that are looking to scale. He does brand messaging, websites, and sales funnels that help businesses grow.So note web flow is at the start of this episode. He is not just making flowery animations. He is trying to focus in as a web flower that's focused on business results. So we'll talk a little bit about that during this episode. We actually met quite recently, uh, online because, um, there's client stuff that Luke is transitioning from and transitioning to.We were talking about supporting him on that, which we might touch on during this episode, but. Although he's flying high, although he's a successful freelancer, and frankly, he's just killing it in the game. There have been some failures along the way:1) Not focusing on relationships early enough in his career2) Trying to systematize and scale too early3) Raising his prices too quickly and not doing so gradually.WEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR LUKE‍💻 See Website: https://www.lukenetti.com/X: https://x.com/luke_netti🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-netti/TRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of Webflail.I'm your host, Jack, your failure connoisseur, and today my guest is Theo RolandTheo is a man you have no doubt come across on your escapades in the world of Webflow but just in case you haven’t, he’s leading the charge in the Francophone Webflow community.What does Francophone mean? It means french speaking.He’s french and runs InitWeb, which includes a frenchspeaking Webflow community, InitClub (1043 people in the slack), as well as bootcamps, self-paced courses and other resources.Before this, he was a freelancer that taught people online.On YouTube, he has 1.43K subscribers•114 videosSo, he’s a Webflow Expert & Global Community Leader, but has it always been this way?Has it always been as dreamy as a float down the river seine with a bottle of vin rouge?NO!The failures that we will talk about today are:The failure of launching a studio alongside early-stage training. Unable to scale quickly enough -> Abandonment of this premature project in 2021, project revival in 2024.The failure in emotionally managing all the help requests from the Francophone Webflow Community Slack. Unable to respond to everyone -> Acceptance of the need to allow others to respond and understanding how to sustain a community independently.The failure to properly understand the content expected by the Community and the Learners of the training. Better tracking of needs and gamification to encourage completion. -> Fewer basic questions, more technical questions, easier content creation.WEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR THEO‍💻 See Website: https://www.initweb.fr/X: https://x.com/rolandtheo_🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rolandtheo/🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@initweb-frTRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...

Today my guest is Chloe Daly. Designing, leading, marketing, SaaS products and high conversion websites is her thing. She is a killer UI UX designer. Her practice is focused on data informed human centered solutions containing various UI UX design and methodologies. Now, what's interesting about Chloe is she is doing not just her full time job, but she's also slowly doing her agency.So she's working full time as a product designer at Peak, which is based in Manchester and the UK and then she's doing a few projects outside of her job as well and slowly growing that. So as you're about to hear, she is on a roll. She's working with clients like Foot Locker by day and then her own freelance clients by night. But has it been easy? Of course not guys. You know the drill by now. Episode 97. You've heard me say this a few times already. The failures are:1) Knowing if a project for you or not2) Not knowing business skills earlier3) Not getting contracts signed even with friends SAVVYCALSchedule like a Webflow boss:https://bit.ly/3X32XUIBONSAIStreamline your client process:https://bit.ly/3V40ua6WEBFLAIL FREEBIES10 Step Process To Land Your First Webflow Clients: The Ultimate Guide:https://www.webflail.com/resources/10-step-process-to-land-your-first-webflow-clients-the-ultimate-guideLINKS FOR CHLOE‍💻 See Website: https://www.chloedaly.com/🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-daly-644679175/🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://x.com/ChloedalydesignTRY OUT WEBFLOW🚀https://webflow.grsm.io/webflail‍CONNECT WITH WEBFLAIL📬 Subscribe to the newsletter: https://webflail.ck.page/8a5e37bca6🐦 Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackRedley1SAY THANKS💜 Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...💜 Leave a rating on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5834...
