With $3k MRR, my agency is still looking for free projects

3 months ago, I launched Reel, a simple design agency created to help startups get design tasks done in 24 hours. As a result, I earn $10k in 3 months with $3k MMR and $7k from one-time projects.

Our 11 talented designers have completed more than 300 projects since October 2021. While I still financially support the agency until we become profitable, I am looking for a way to get more projects to increase our brand awareness and reach more potential leads. So, I got inspired by Sally Wong to offer startup founders a free design task, so If you need a logo or hero banner, it's the best time to get it.

Just check it out here: https://bit.ly/3t7uuFF.

    Amazing! Thanks for this offer, it's so generous. I just submitted a request for a hero image.

    I'll definitely share your site around with my network. Thanks again!

      Cheers!

        Thank you, @reelsanthia! We really liked the image so we just pushed a website update while we wait for some revisions! https://www.incognitoforslack.com/

        Thanks again for this great offer, I suggest other IndieHackers take you up on the offer.

    Hi there - love the concept of unlimited design tasks, I used to have that with my developer tasks and really miss it!

    I was wondering if you'd like to partner up for a hackathon/sprint on a project that I'm running with a community that I'm part of. It'll be featured as part of a few Podcast episodes and by the community members that are participating.

    I'm wondering, is there something like the agency-to-agency partnership?
    I have existing agency business I'm still doing, I can find clients, I have trouble finding designers/developers

      Hi Fajar, we can do it surely, we don't have developers on our team, but we have designers. So I will reach you on Twitter to discuss this.

    Hey santhino I've just sent request for logo :) I saw this post just in right time.
    I'll recommend your business whenever I get the chance, also during my request I found out a few errors on frontend of the website I included screenshot in request so you can fix it.
    I can't wait for my logo :)

    Best of luck,
    Thank you again.
