I’m shutting down my design agency…
From watching your old content a few years ago to where you are now is literally the definition of inspiration. You're the man Payton, keep smashing it!
Thanks Joe, I feel like you have been one of the people that has supported me the whole way. Much appreciated!!
So are up basically shutting down the design agency because the model has of no recurring revenues?
Visited your site the other day and noticed the change! All the best with the shift in direction mate - none of us have a endless supply of time or resources so it's important to put the majority of them into what helps you continue to grow. When starting out as a web designer we often take on any and every project as a means of necessity, getting to the point that you're at where you've grown your brand to the point where you can be selective about taking on only projects that appeal to you is a remarkable achievement. Keep smashing it! 💪
Love this comment. Thanks Kirk!
Where did you get your logo stand? I've seen some of these but could never find them.
As someone who is working right now to start my own agency, it is very inspirational to see your transition from being an agency owner to everything you described in the video. I joined PaitPro this week, and the value it provides is truly remarkable.
Super happy to hear this! And glad to have you in the group!
Congratulations. So excited to see how you are going to grow through this next stage. Awesomeness!!
Thank you 🙏🏼
All these changes sound super exciting! Can't wait to see everything PaitDigital accomplishes 🚀
I appreciate it 🙏🏼
Change is hard, but big things are ahead! Congratulations on the new direction!
Thanks Grace!
Congratulations ! and good luck for the new direction you're taking
Thank you! 🙏🏼
I’m really enjoying watching your content. I am trying to launch my company this year. Going through the content you offered on notion now.
Love it! Good luck on your journey 🚀
I actually look forward to this new direction. Good luck!
Thanks!
Good luck Payton! It's amazing to see how businesses and people evolve, If anything it's the perfect reason to become self-employed, it's an adventure that can take you all over the world, into every niche or job you can dream up.
Love this. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Congrats with the changes!
Is Semflow works only for English or other languages too like Spanish, Russian, Chinese, etc?
Amazing that's very scary 😂
Good luck for it and I hope everything goes well 😊
Thank you!!
What editing software do you use to blur the background?
You mean blue the wall behind me. My camera lens does thT
@@PaytonClarkSmith oh okay! What camera do you use?
Does Semflow take the place of something like Semrush or ahrefs?
Currently it does not offer all of the features of those full suite tools. But you can use semflow for all on-page seo and then find other cheaper/free options for keyword research! (Until we add keyword features 😉)
The new website is looking crisp
All the best on the new pivot
Thanks Adam 👊🏻
Hey Payton, big moves but great to make changes. Are you going to keep all the same staff/contractors? Are they coming with you?
For the most part, yes!
I wish you the best !
appreciate it 👊🏻
Hi Paiy, I want to ask, do you think SEO will still be relevant especially with the high rise of AI Technologies, I am thinking there will be more focus on building AI tech for business than SEO, but let me know what you think
I don’t see seo going anywhere anytime soon. If anything it will become more essential as the web will be full of ai generated content that people don’t want to see. So ranking quality/personalized content will be essential!
ETA on webflow & SEO 3.0 course ?
I would guess mid March!
How many people work for you now Payton? Just curious because it sounds like you do a lot
Really just depends on the month! I have my solid core team of 5 ish with an extra handful of great contractors that step in when needed
awsm
🙏🏼
What about the small business that built you over the years?
What about them? 🧐 not sure I understand
@@PaytonClarkSmith wow… Seems like you’re kind of sh@tting on them. ‘Thanks for making me what I am but I’m shutting you out… Shutting you out for the bigger fish, more important folks.’ Do you understand my comment now? My comment was pretty clear.
@@HiDefMediaInc this comment cracks me up 😂 I still take very good care of my current clients (especially those that have been with me since early on).
With that said, I’m not going to refuse to scale my business or make more impact in the world just because of some imaginary pact I have with small businesses.
I can create an eye-catching and engaging thumbnail that will capture the attention of your audience. My process involves understanding your requirements, researching the latest design trends, and using my creativity to create a unique and memorable thumbnail.
Would you consider white-labelling Semflow to other agencies?
You can become an affiliate and resell it to your clients 👍🏻 35% recurring commissions for life!

It's making me doubt that weather I should shift myself from Design to SEO 😂
No, I love to design
That’s why I will still be taking on projects (unofficially) 😉
@@PaytonClarkSmith your videos are amazing Payton
Great to see what you're doing with Semflow as well
You mentioned in a previous video that you get a lot of web design leads from your UA-cam channel
I've been trying to implement the same by dropping valuable tutorials from Google ads to web design for real estate agents
Gotten 0 leads so far
Or do you suggest I create a separate channel for those webflow and Google ads tutorials?
As I also make SMMA content geared towards freelancers and helping them land clients
You do a mix of both on your channel and it works for you, not sure what's wrong in my case
@@william_SMMA sometimes it just takes time to gain traction. It took me some time for sure. Just stick with it!
@@PaytonClarkSmith thanks so much Sir
I would have loved to even join a mentorship program of yours but basically all my money from my slightly successful Google ads part of my agency goes into rent and paying off my student loan
Thanks a million for your advice, I'll keep going for sure
I understand! Best of luck 💪🏼
Please send your smaller referrals my way ;)
Bunch of BS , my guy is just telling us that web design services are saturated and everyone has got websites already, he offers SEO and marketing because people have websites but those websites need to be more visible
The backwards books look stupid.
Retitle this clickbait video
Never! 😂
Sheesh it seems like everyone is closing down their Agency from Iman to you.
Did you watch the whole video?
We will still be around, just in a different way 👍🏻
Iman is a grifter
@@PaytonClarkSmith I had commented right when I had started it.
Ok, bye bye
👋🏻
