How are you?

The importance of checking in with people, before you need them...

Yes, that introduction should leave you with a weird feeling in your stomach.

I tell my fellow entrepreneurs all the time: If you wait until you need customers to start your marketing, you’re already late. Growing a business isn’t about big, dramatic gestures—it’s about showing up consistently.

This edition of the Freelancers Business Boost is brought to you by:

In need of World-Class UX Design? Don’t want to hire a full-time designer? Sign on to BTNG Unlimited. Request unlimited UX/UI tasks for a flat monthly subscription, cancel anytime. Results within 48-hours.

One of the easiest ways to do that? Just keep in touch.

A quick message. A shared article. Even a simple “How’s it going?” can make all the difference. If you let a year (or more) pass without reaching out, suddenly, it feels like you’re only messaging because you need something—and that’s not a great vibe.

I’m speaking from experience here. Staying consistent isn’t always my strong suit, which is partly why I’m building BTNG Unlimited—a design subscription where businesses can get high-quality UX design without the feast-or-famine cycles. The process has me thinking a lot about consistency. Showing up for customers. Keeping things simple.

So this email is me practicing what I preach.

Let this be your nudge to reach out to someone today. Someone you’ve lost touch with. Someone you value. No sales pitch. No agenda. Just check in.

Let me know how it goes. Seriously. Hit reply—I’m always curious to hear what you’re working on.
