Web Design Business with Josh Hall

As a web designer, I’m sure you’ve had plenty of people ask “is AI going to take your job?”

Well, my position is firmly NO.

But one adjacent part of the industry I was curious/cautious about is copywriting. After all, I’m primarily using AI for copywriting and messaging help these days.

As a web designer, you’ve probably considered looking into additional revenue streams, but have you ever considered sponsorships?

If not, you’ll want to hear this conversation I had with sponsorship coach and author of the new book “Sponsor Magnet” Justin Moore.

While this is mostly a chance for him to coach me live on my sponsorship strategies, it applies to web designers even with small client-based audiences an...

Design and building websites…that’s the fun part.

Managing the project, collecting content, onboarding, handling revisions and feedback…typically, not so much.
