SIXers...there are three paths I see people pick to find their next client. Only ONE of them works! I know, because I've taken BOTH of the bad options before! (MULTIPLE TIMES. I'm hardheaded!) That's OK--you can learn from my mistakes. Take a peep at the infomagic on this post and let me know... Which path do you need help LEAVING right now? The wind beneath your wings, Nick P.S. More on "Path 3" another day...let's see where everybody's at first.

Welcome to Six-Figure Freelancers! We help you fill your pipeline with Green-Flag Clients who pay well and leave you the heck ALONE!

Keep your eyes out for more of the good stuff. — Nick 👋 PS Please say "Hi" + tell me… ❓ What do you do, and where did your last client come from?

👉 Do you work with clients or WANT to work with clients? Next week I'm helping a small group of freelancers win their next $10k in clients. These guys all share a few traits that make them a good fit for the program, and I'm looking forward to helping them kick ass. With that said, Funny Money has, for most of its young life, been my personal message board. It's incoherent. I'm going to change that. Starting next week, I'll be transitioning this community away from the vague "run a low-effort, low-stress, one-person business" to "make $100k a year from low-stress freelance clients." We're all about getting you clients. That's it. Focus, focus, focus. All of the courses and topics about email marketing, running an online business, copywriting, etc. will find a new home in a new group, at a future date. If you DON'T work with clients, you may not like these changes. That's fine. You're free to voice your opinion below, after which I will ban you. ... Funny Money will remain free, but there will be a paid tier that will give you access to my courses and trainings on "how to win your first / more / better / easier / more physically attractive clients." How does this make you feel? Angry? Sad? Thrilled? Let me know by voting in the poll below.

I'm inviting you to join me and a small group of fellow, ambitious freelancers next week. Goal: Your next $10,000 in contracts, plus a repeatable playbook to keep landing lower-stress, higher-value clients. Forever. I will continue to support you until you hit $10k in payments. The investment: $2k today to get started. $3k after--and only after--you make your next $10k from clients. We start next week. DM me if interested.

I may need to hire next week. This is not a guarantee. (Not for beginners. Killers only.) Yes, I had Claude write this job post. One of the screening questions may or may not be a trick question. Have at it. Details: 📧 Email Ops Specialist — Platform Build, List Hygiene & Deliverability (High-Ticket Home Services) I need one experienced email operations person to handle the technical build for a home services client (high-ticket, ~$4–5K average sale). You'd be subcontracting to me. The list is ~5,000 past customers who have never been emailed. Records live in QuickBooks and a CRM. This is not a "connect Klaviyo and hit send" job — a botched first send burns the domain and kills the program. I need someone who has warmed a cold list before and can prove it. 🔧 SCOPE 🗂️ Consolidate QuickBooks + CRM exports into one master list. Merge on email, fuzzy-match on name + service address for mismatched or missing emails. Collapse household duplicates. 🏷️ Append and tag: last purchase date, lifetime spend, product type, recency bands, plus three segments per a tagging rule set I provide. Flag ambiguous records for my review rather than guessing. 🧹 Run full email validation. Hard-suppress invalids, hold risky and catch-all addresses out of the first send. 🌐 Stand up the ESP on an account the client owns: dedicated sending subdomain, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, custom link-tracking domain, Google Postmaster and Microsoft SNDS enrollment, List-Unsubscribe header, compliant footer. 🌡️ Build a warmup ramp schedule with a written kill switch (pause thresholds on complaint and bounce rate). Run a seed and inbox placement test before the live send. 🎨 Build one modular branded template from supplied brand guidelines. Mobile-first, dark-mode tested, clean plain-text alternate, render-tested. 📊 Wire attribution: UTM convention, hidden lead-source field on the booking form, CallRail, ESP↔CRM sync so campaign data lands on the job record, and a revenue-by-source report the client can pull without me.
