Hi guys! I've been thinking about creating a group, probably on Telegram, for people who are successful freelancers but want to take their work to the next level and build an agency!
As I've been writing a book and talking to a lot of folks about their journeys, I've realized I understand the ins and outs of building a successful agency probably better than anything else, and that this is a real need for a lot of people. (My background: Based in SF, I started a media/tech agency at 26, grew it to six figures in revenue within 6 months, and have been running it for the past 3 years.)
There are a lot of incredibly talented freelancers (and aspiring freelancers currently working FT) who I've been talking to who want to take that leap but don't know where to start. So I'd like to create a small, intimate group where we stay in touch, learn from each other, and encourage each other. I'll guide the group with frequent prompts, asking about your goals and such, then share ideas for how to achieve them, or advice for the right steps to take. We'll share our struggles and successes and chat informally. And ultimately, I want everyone to have agencies set up by the end of the summer!
It's would be totally free to join, and I want to focus on working with underrepresented folks specifically.
Through this experience, I figure I can help people out and it will also be helpful for me as I write my book to gain a greater understanding of what people's needs and questions are.
I already have four people interested and wanted to open it up here as well. Let me know if you want to be part of this!
I’m interested in this. I’m a few months into starting an agency with a partner. We have a great landing page, an interesting niche, lots of ideas, and no clients(yet).
I would be happy to have you! Shoot me a comment/message here with your Telegram handle and I'll get you in today!
Email sent, can't wait to see where this goes.
Hey Rhiannon! I would definitely be interested in joining this group, I think this might be exactly what I'm looking for right now, I am trying to take begin working as a freelancer but I am struggling with where to start. I don't have a telegram but I can easily set one up.
Hi @lshadowl, I'd be happy to have you join! Just ping me or comment here with your Telegram handle, or find me on Telegram @rhipayne, and I'll get you in today!
I'd be interested in this too. As a freelancer, it feels like its just you against the world. Would be nice to chat with people in a similar situation. At the moment I am juggling a lot, so this sounds like a great opportunity. Cheers
Absolutely! I understand that all too well--even when you're building an agency and a team, it can be a lonely journey sometimes too. It would be great to share resources and have a group of folks supporting each other. :) What's the best way to get in touch with you? Do you have Telegram? x
It's good to see this post today. I just signed my SS4 application for Kaysy LLC and waiting for approval. I am excited😁 It's not a tech agency as such but more like a parent organization for the products I develop.
Yay, that's so exciting!! I would love to include you--what's the best way to get in touch? Do you have a Telegram? x
I do👍 But never really used it though🤪 Any other alternatives?
I like Telegram specifically because of the ease of use, and it's a great way to avoid using Facebook products like Whatsapp... or Facebook itself!
You can contact me at kalesh@kaysy.io and send me the link/details to join the group. Thank you for the invitation👍
Hey I'm interested with this!
Amazing!! I'd love to include you! What's the best way to get in touch--do you have a Telegram? x

I'd interested in join this group, but I am a beginner freelancer.
