How would you live if clients were booked effortlessly?

What if you could quit your stressful job? You can spend your time doing the work that you enjoy on your own terms. Reduce your financial stress.

I received a BFA degree in Visual Communication Design at Virginia Tech in May 2012. I had all the skills needed to start my career. My goal, however, was to get a design job at a company close to my home.

I did. It was awful.

I worked under a boss I didn’t like, for a company I didn’t like, designing under brand standards I didn’t like.

So, I did what any frustrated designer would do: I started freelance work.

This was the moment I realized one area in which design school had failed to me…

I didn’t know how to find, book and work with clients.

It was my lucky day.

I was open to any design job that came my way. I worked too hard and charged too much. I had an uncanny knack for finding clients who didn’t value my work. And I definitely wasn’t bringing in enough money to take my business full-time.

Fast forward 2 years, and I’ve now built a 6-A waiting list of more than 250 potential clients and figure business.

What have you done to make things better?
Introduce Freelance Academy

My name is Lauren Hooker and I’m the founder of Elle & Company.

I was presented with two options when my 2 year old freelance business failed.

A)  I could stop wasting my time, give up freelancing, and stick with my dreadful 9-Work for 5 days or more

B)  I could spend time developing creative strategies to attract, book, and work with the right clients and pursue my love of design full-time on my terms.

I selected option B.

Since then, I’ve worked with 30+ design clients, increased my prices by 600%, and grew my waiting list to 250+. This was all in 16 months.

And you know what’s crazy?

I didn’t do anything drastic or magically obtain any special skill to make that happen.

Instead, I researched everything design school didn’t teach me about freelancing. I learned how to:

Reduce my offerings and focus your attention
Attract and Book Clients
Create a portfolio that appeals most to me
Establish my company legally and manage the business finances
Pricing and building my design packages
Improve client communication and refine my client process
Handle critiques to reduce revisions
You must balance multiple projects and meet deadlines
