Welcome to another episode of The Profitable Graphic Designer Podcast! In this episode, we're excited to have Kyle Courtright joining us. Kyle, a visionary who rejected the traditional 9-5 grind, has been making waves in the freelancing world. His impressive client roster includes big names such as PayPal, Toyota, Chipotle, Walmart, NVIDIA, NFL, NBA, and the USA Olympics. But that's not all—Kyle also manages two additional companies! One, Logo Wave, is dedicated to recognizing exceptional design work, adding value to organizations and boosting careers. The other is a subscription-based design service. Curious to learn more? Tune in to find out! In this episode, you will learn: How Kyle got these amazing Fortune 500 companies as a graphic designer. What platforms he uses to land design clients, and not just any client but high-value and high-paying clients. If LinkedIn is worth the effort + a personal story of posting every day for 6 months with no results. How he manages to work only 20-30 hours a week while running 3 design companies. If SEO is still relevant and what you can do to get in front of potential clients that Google and search for your services. This episode is super valuable, and I am sure you'll love it!
