Working With Clients

How to Use Direct Mail to Get More Freelance Clients in 2025

Most freelancers are all doing the same stuff to try and land clients:

- Upwork
- Fiverr
- LinkedIn
- Cold email
- Etc

But you know what they say:

When everyone else is zigging, it’s time for you to zag.

Put another way:

When certain tactics become the norm, others become underutilized.

And that creates a powerful opportunity for you to stand out.

Direct mail is a perfect example.

People don’t get much physical mail these days.

So their physical inboxes are a lot less crowded than their digital ones.

But exactly can you use direct mail to get freelance clients in 2025?

Luckily, our friends at Millo have the answer.

They’ve just put out a brand new guide on how to use direct mail to get more freelance clients in 2025.

Working For Yourself

How to Avoid Information Overwhelm

Living in the age of AI has its pros and cons.

On the one hand, you can teach yourself the basics of just about any skill for free online.

But on the other hand…

This embarrassment of riches creates a paradox of choice.

Who do you learn from? Who do you ignore?

It’s no easy task.

That’s why the secret to avoiding information overwhelm is…

Choose 1-2 experts to learn from and ignore everyone else.

- Consume everything they put out
- Implement their strategies as best you can
- Find out what works and what doesn’t before moving on

Learning a high-income skill like copywriting, sales, personal branding, or paid ads can feel like drinking from a firehose.

You need to control the flow of information you’re taking in.

Otherwise your head will explode.

And the only way to do that effectively is to narrow your focus.

Bottom line: don’t get high on more than one guru’s supply.

The lessons you’ll learn from executing on ONE person’s strategies will trump it every time.

Why Busy Freelancers Should NOT Build Their Own Websites…

Pop quiz:

What’s the first thing most prospects do after getting your pitch or proposal?

Answer:

Google you.

Now, if you’re smart, then you’ve already got a freelance website set up to build authority, establish credibility, and showcase your portfolio.

But here’s where most busy freelancers go wrong…

Instead of having a beautiful and professionally-designed website to position themselves as premium service providers…

They’ve got a janky WordPress site that looks like it was built in 2004 and still has ‘lorem ipsum’ all over it.

And, you know what they say:

You don’t get a second chance at a first impression.

Luckily, that’s where 1803 Designs comes in.

Their stunning templates allow you to launch a premium website from scratch in minutes.

And at a tiny fraction of the cost you’d pay for a high-end designer.

(Solana and Azul are our favorites.)

All you have to do is grab your domain, pick a template, and make it yours.

The end result is a scroll-stopping site that instantly elevates your brand and attracts high-paying clients.

No coding knowledge required.

So if you’re looking for an aesthetic no-code site that matches the quality of service you provide to your clients…
