How to move from freelance design work to running a 6-figure agency

Rhami's journey in web development began at 13 and evolved from a hobby into a career, eventually leading him to establish his own agency, Arch Web Design, in 2020. Initially, Rhami faced challenges in freelancing but discovered success by focusing on a niche, offering high-converting websites for SaaS clients, and using platforms like Upwork to build his client base. He emphasizes the importance of a well-crafted profile, which should include an introduction, social proof, examples of past work, and client testimonials. Rhami's approach to pricing involves project-based fees, using time tracking to calculate costs and ensuring that his agency's project minimum is met, despite Upwork's reputation for low rates. He encourages others to choose a niche they enjoy that also has financial viability and recommends not overthinking the decision, as finding the right niche was a transformative step that helped his agency achieve six-figure success within a year.
