If You're A Solo Freelancer, You HAVE To Learn This Skill | Unfold EP. 41
Send us a textThe fastest way to raise your rates and stop burning out isn’t more gear—it’s mastering client intake and scoping.

You’ll see our exact intake flow, red flags to watch for, how to frame budget vs. deliverables, and simple email scripts that turn “Can you do a video?” into a profitable project (or a polite pass). If you’re a solo filmmaker or creative stuck saying yes to everything, this is the skill that compounds.

How To Market Your Business in 2025 | Unfold EP. 40
Send us a textTraditional networking won’t get you out of low-paying cycles. In this episode, we show why most filmmakers are trapped in an “invisible feedback loop” (you post the work you don’t want and attract more of it) and what to do instead: build proof. We break down how to pivot with spec work, then use a simple marketing trifecta—BTS, targeted content, and intentional distribution—to create demand, stay top of mind, and land the right clients. Proof beats potential, and posting with purpose beats collecting business cards.
