Huw Davies's Linkedin Analytics

Feast-or-famine months wear down good designers. I teach a simple LinkedIn system that helps freelance creatives — graphic, product, web, UX, motion, and brand — land their first (or next) $5K client in 60 days. Most do it working just a few extra hours a week. I spent two decades inside agencies watching studios charge five times my freelance rate. The fix wasn’t more effort. It was packaging the value — not the hours. After years of testing, I boiled everything down to four moves: 1. Position yourself as a specialist clients remember — not a spare pair of hands 2. Turn your LinkedIn into a client-facing offer page that pre-sells you 3. Post short insights and start low-pressure, value-first conversations 4. Guide those into a simple sales call — and close at $5K+ without discounting This system works across every design discipline: - Riley jumped from $70/hr to a $10.5K brand strategy project in 7 days - Amanda doubled her rate and booked a $5K branding gig in 60 days - Taskia flipped an $850 website into a $7.5K retainer Who it’s for: Designers who’ve done at least one paid project and now want consistent premium work — without cold pitching or race-to-the-bottom job boards What to do next: Send me a DM with “First 5K” and I’ll reply with a short case study and the link to apply for the next 60-Day Sprint cohort.
