163. From Free To Fee - How To Get Paid When A Client Asks You To Do It For Free w/ Colin Yen
Had a spur of the moment podcast interview with Colin Yen, founder of @campwithcol, who was a part of our 6 week Creativ Rise Mastermind and just attended the 6 figure + retreat, the Inner Circle.
Here's the thing about Colin - he's been working his creative business on the side as he's transitioning out of his 9-5 this last year and he hit $100k. 🤯 In this episode, Joey and Colin dive into the question of how do you transition from free to fee (trade for services to trade for cash). Also diving into how he made 6 figures this past year on limited time in the last twelve months.
Colin is so kind, open talented and generous - you're going to love this ep. You can follow Colin on socials at @campwithcol // www.instagram.com/campwithcol

If you are a creator who is under the 6 figure mark in your business and you don't feel you have the exact tools, strategy and most importantly, the community to get to 6 figures in 2024.. that can all change.. Imagine having a library of over 15 hours of content - teaching you the tools and strategies you need, a tight knit community of 35 other creators cheering you on, and accountability systems and coaching from Christy and Joey.. would it shortcut you and your business by a year? 2 years? 5 years? We think so. That's exactly what we designed the Creativ Rise Mastermind to do. Give you a massive creative business shortcut in 6 weeks.
Listen to what Madi Ruslin had to say,
"Loved my experience with CRM! Came into the mastermind just trying to figure out my business on my own, without a ton of direction on my brand and where I wanted my business to be, or how I needed to structure my business to get to my dream goal. Throughout the past 6 weeks I was flooded with info and goals and have more perspective now on where I see my business going. The accountability pods helped tremendously to keeping each other motivated and disciplined. I nearly doubled my projected income in the last 6 weeks from $20k - $40k+, with more in process. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to grow their business, set refined and realistic goals, and to make a community of other creatives trying to do the same thing!!!"
