How to Turn One Project Into Many (The Secret of Internal Client Referrals)

Here’s the problem: most freelancers do amazing work… but let it sit in a portfolio instead of turning it into more projects.

Your coolest work shouldn’t just collect dust on your website—it should be actively winning you new business. And not just with new clients, but with the companies you’ve already cracked into.

In this video, I’ll show you how to:
✅ Use recent wins to spark new freelance projects (without sounding braggy)
✅ Send the “just wrapped this up and thought of you” email that gets responses
✅ Unlock the most overlooked growth lever in freelancing: internal company referrals
✅ Turn one department win into momentum across multiple teams inside the same company
✅ Make your client look like a hero to their co-workers (so they keep recommending you)

Most freelancers chase brand new clients every month. The pros know the easiest projects come from inside the building. Once you’re in with one team, you can scale to HR, sales, product, or other departments—if you know how to play it right.

What you’ll learn:
How to turn portfolio pieces into pitches that spark new work
Why internal referrals are the fastest path to repeat freelance income
What not to do (like pitching too early, going around your contact, or CCing the wrong people)
