I made $3250+ from just 3 clients

Hey,

I'm Erfan. For those who don't know me, I run a product design subscription agency Pentaclay

I launched my subscription agency last November. Since then I got 11+ leads and 3 repeated clients to my design subscription.

I also had a couple of fixed price clients with my $97/Landing Page Design offer.
(Now the price increased to $149/landing page) Out of 10 only 3 spots left.

How my marketing works

1. X (formerly Twitter)
I post about my design journey mostly there. Also I shared how I acquired my first client, my design process and FREEBIES.

I was able to get one subscription clients from there and a couple of $97/landing page desing clients.

  1. Indie Hackers
    I share long-form posts here with tips and tricks how to grow on X, how to grow your desgin agency, what's working for me and what's not. Like this post, all my posts provide values to the Indie Hackers.

I got a couple of leads from IH, but not converted as far I know.

  1. Reddit
    Reddit is a good source of traffic for me. I actively get 50-100+ visitors per day. I share problems or ask for help in different subreddits. In a very subtle way I promote my website. Reddit users are super brutal regarding promotions.

I got multiple leads from there too. But not converted any yet.

4. Dribbble
As a designer, I used to get many clients from Dribbble 3-4 years ago. But now things changed. I occassionally get some client messages. For Pentaclay, no clients converted yet.

It works only for Designers.

  1. LinkedIn
    I share some selective posts from my X on LinkedIn. Engagement is good there, but recently it's been saturated.

I got my first design subscription client from here.

Apart from above these I shared my startup to different directories like onepagedesign, 10words, 1000tools etc.
