Here’s how to triple your clients in 10 days, with just a few small tweaks.
The most effective, and quickest way to do so,
without being annoying or spammy.
Hello creative entrepreneur,
Starting and growing a business can be very, very hard work. We know that, and chances are, you do too.
You might have a great creative product or service, and you may have worked on a few projects with clients and sold a few things here and there.
But the most frustrating thing is that you simply aren’t making enough steady sales and winning enough high-paying clients each month to move to the next level and begin enjoying a creative business that is both lucrative and fulfilling.
Marketing sounds like a lot of work, and you just don’t have the time to focus on much beyond the creative work itself.
Am I right?
Let’s take a look at a designer I worked with a while ago...
Simon’s design business
I have a client, Simon, who runs a small design company all by himself, creating really nice, quality web and logo designs for clients around the world.
One of his common complaints to me last year was this:
“I get the occasional client, but I don’t think I’m being paid enough, and there just is not enough work coming in to make this sustainable in the long-term.”
I sat down with him over a coffee one Spring, asking him some questions about his business website, his social media presence, and the various marketing channels he used to generate new clients and sales.
I was pretty shocked at how little he really knew about marketing, and how many holes there were in the way he drummed up business.
I couldn’t believe that he managed to generate new client work at all!
One of the things that really struck me, and made upgrading his situation so EASY, was how little he knew of what was possible in marketing, and how straight-forward things could be if he was shown what exactly to do.
In less than a week, Simon implemented just a few of the changes I suggested to him, and he had two new solid clients at a much higher level of pay, and a strategy on exactly how to maintain and grow his monthly income consistently.
One of those clients was someone he’d been wanting to work with for a long time, but he hadn’t had a clue how to get to work with a client of that calibre.
With his new-found knowledge, he made it a reality, and he’s been working on some amazing projects since.
This is all because he was given the opportunity to evaluate his marketing situation, find out what was possible and what he was missing, and then take guided and simple action to move his business forward.
Alex is truly unique in the large field of creative coaches. He really cares.

Marketing done just right is the solution
Just a few basic tweaks in your marketing strategy can make a massive difference in the number of clients and ultimately the income you bring into your creative business.
Often we’re making our lives very difficult by talking about our services in all the wrong ways.
“Talking about our services”
Yes. Marketing is basically how we talk about what it is we can provide for people.
A lot of us get most of this wrong, and we’re wasting a lot of time because of this.
Try this Quick Experiment…
I want you to go to your main website and see whether the very first thing a new user landing on that page sees is a clear major benefit to your service directed at the reader.
If it's not there, just that small addition alone will noticeably increase the number of visitors turning to paying clients.
Have you ever considered what specific problems your prospects have that you can be solving, with your creative skills?
This kind of awareness is what will help you craft your benefits, and put them in front of your potential clients, which will lead to winning new paid projects.
Can it be that easy to dramatically increase the number of great clients you can work with, with a little guidance?
Let us show you exactly how. This is us:
Alex Mathers, Designer and Business Owner
Alex is a self-taught illustrator and writer who has eight years experience in running his own successful businesses, working with clients like Mars, Google and Wired Magazine.
Ahna Hendrix, Social Media Consultant

Ruthie Greenwood, Fine Artist
"I’ve been putting into practice your tips recently, and traffic is up. Cheers for doing what you do!"
Robin Boyden, Illustrator
Here’s another example of how a small change can make a huge difference in your creative business:
Back in the early days of doing digital illustration work, maybe six years ago, I had a portfolio that included a range of styles and types of graphics.
From clean vector maps, to hand-drawn logos, to textured graphics, to sleek icons and badges. I tried to widen the net for the number of clients I’d hopefully win. But the effect this was having was NOT GOOD!
In trying to please many with a wide range of products and services, I was confusing prospects and sending them away, even though my work was pretty good at that point.
Not only that, but I was creating a brand that communicated the following:
- I’m confused about where my value lies, and therefore why should you be confident in me?
- I’m ok at a wide range of things.
- I don’t know who exactly I’m serving, and whose businesses and lives I’m improving.
- I’m not an expert in anything, and therefore should not attract ‘expert prices’.
What was my small change?
I simply cut out all the work in my portfolio that deviated from my central source of value, which I decided was to specialise in digital vector maps and landscapes for technology and media companies.
Almost immediately, with continued reach-outs to targeted prospects, and communicating my product properly, I was no longer working with small, low-paying clients, but landing jobs with the clients of my dreams, such as Popular Mechanics and Wired Magazines, the BBC, Saatchi & Saatchi and Google.
This was one of several shifts in my marketing strategy I made over several years of mistakes made and long periods of no work coming in.
Right: here's one of my illustrations for Wired Magazine in 2010, showing my updated, core style which attracted more interest and further work.
So, what can you do to triple your clients and increase income right away, you ask…
…Introducing:
We know that getting your marketing just right is a problem amongst creative businesses and freelancers who have great products, but just fall short when it comes to making consistent clients.
One of the best things you can do to quickly improve your situation, is to work out what your marketing strategy looks like and determine where the gaps in your system lie so that you can move forward, often dramatically, to quickly increase the number of client opportunities you bring in.
We know that if you provide a creative service, the best thing for your business is the number of opportunities you have coming in in the form of clients. With opportunities, you have the choice in who to work with.
You can choose which quality clients YOU want to work with.
This is why myself (Alex) and Ahna have put together a package that reviews and improves your business’s current marketing strategy to directly increase the number of clients coming to you.
Within one week, we will put together an appraisal booklet of your business, action steps and an additional week of unlimited email consultation.
We will show you in detail, what you need to do to improve your situation, win more great clients, and make more money, with minimal effort on your part beyond the action steps we provide for you.
Here’s what Ahna and I will take a close look at, presented to you in-depth in your main Client Accelerator appraisal e-booklet:
Target Market Honing
We look at who you are directing your products/service towards and show you how to laser focus your business. How you manage and research your prospects and clients are also looked at here.
Presentation
We look in-depth at the presentational element of your business’ marketing, including your USP, differentiation, your brand, your website/s and site design, portfolio, level of credibility and testimonials, marketing copy and calls to action.
Social Media
We look closely at the strengths and weaknesses in your social media marketing campaigns. Ahna will do most of the work here, but Alex will also take a look, and we will recommend exactly what to do to improve your client opportunities from taking effective action on two social media platforms suited to your creative business.
Connect
Marketing channels other than social media are discussed, including direct emailing, online engagement, and offline activities. The aim is to highlight direct, and effective ways of generating further connections with prospects that are relevant to your specific service.
Enter your email below to register your interest and to see a sample of the marketing appraisal e-booklet.
We love your privacy and will never spam you
The guiding principle of the Red Lemon Club Client Accelerator is this:
With a great service, getting clients, and maximizing your income does not have to be difficult.
Why?
Because through guidance and small tweaks, your marketing strategy can be made to work very effectively through an awareness of what makes marketing work and what makes people tick.
We show you how to do that, so that you don’t waste any more time frustrating over your potentially hugely successful business.
Who Exactly is ‘Client Accelerator’ For?
Freelancing Creatives
You work for yourself, perhaps on the side, and win some client work here and there. Anyone with a great creative service that needs better exposure and more clients than just a handful are perfectly suited to our expertise and guidance.
Creative Agencies
Small businesses and companies working on creative projects who are just starting or want to drastically improve their marketin will be well suited to this package.
Writers
If you write for a living, or are trying to, we are here to help improve your presence, get more exposure and sell your work.
Coaches and other service providers
If you run a business providing, coaching, consulting or services of any kind, Client Accelerator will really help you take your client attraction to the next level.
Who is NOT suited to ‘Client Accelerator’?
Total marketing newbies
If you are new to running a business and don’t know the very basics of marketing, I’d suggest reading Red Lemon Club. This product is for those who have some marketing presence, but want to move ahead.
Advanced Pros
Client Accelerator will drastically improve businesses that are struggling to maintain consistent clients and solid income. Therefore, we are less suited to businesses who are well established and just want one or two extra key clients.
Creatives without a service
This package is for people who already have a decent to great service, rather than those of you who aren’t there yet.
Our focus is on getting clients, and as such, is less suited to artists with products that need to be sold. This package is best suited to those creatives who offer a service requiring clients.
Those who don't have belief in their service
We do a lot of the work in evaluating your business and suggesting next steps. This means that in order for you to see positive improvements in your business, you must do the action-steps.
This takes a certain amount of dedication to your craft, and those who don’t take action, will not benefit from our product.

Ahna and I are trying this evaluation and guidance package for one month only for the time-being. It may or may not come back after. This is yet to be decided.
Therefore, for the opportunity to take your marketing to the next level, right now, you must order today because I can guarantee this will not be around for long.
Initially we both thought that $650 would be more than reasonable to justify the work and combined expertise we have to power up your business. Because we wanted to provide as many of you as possible the opportunity, we’re reducing the price, but it won’t be for long.
“Honestly, hiring Ahna for this project was the BEST business decision I made for the project.”
