Ep. 245: Breaking Free From Freelancing Feast + Famine with Jason Resnick

​My guest today is Jason Resnick of the Live in the Feast and Ask Rezzz podcasts that help freelancers take action ON their business to build recurring revenue.

I was introduced to Jason by Carrie Dils, another web developer that I interviewed back in Episode 210 all about how to be a fearless freelancer. She reached out to me and recommended I invite Jason on the show because she thought you guys would benefit from what he has to say about freelancing and side hustling, and I’m so glad that she did because our conversation was eye-opening for me!

A web developer by trade, Jason’s focused solely on WordPress for several years now – and he loves WordPress for the same reason I do – it’s gives us total freedom as web developers to create whatever we can imagine – but more importantly, it works really well on the backend for our clients.

Jason believes that a rising tide raises all boats, and he’s super active in the WordPress and freelancer communities, and he’s committed to helping freelancers and web designers build a business that stays out of the feast and famine cycle.

Today we’re talking about:

  • Jason’s transition from side-hustle to self-employed.
  • How Jason helps freelancers figure out who their ideal client is – and isn’t!
  • Jason’s advice for how to get customers when you are just starting out and how to generate recurring revenue.
  • How to set yourself apart as a freelancer.
  • Why what you do is the least important thing you can communicate to your potential clients, and what to do instead.
  • How Jason packaged his expertise to help other freelancers be successful.
  • Why it’s important to get out of your comfort zone.
  • Jason’s best advice for you if you’re struggling to get traction in your side hustle.
  • The one belief Jason had to change about himself to get where he is today.

My favorite quotes from Jason:

  • You have got to niche down, you’ve got to specialize a little bit so you are talking to a singular person, solving a singular problem.
  • Inject your own personality into what you do each and every single day.
