Benas Leonavicius

From SEO articles for pocket money to a $120k/year freelance business — and now building a personal brand marketing agency.

More than ten years ago, I started writing SEO content to make a little extra cash. I tried corporate jobs, hated them, and kept betting on freelancing instead.

That slow, unglamorous bet paid off.

Today, I run a lean SEO business with:

• $120k+ annual revenue
• ~80% profit margins
• A team of two
• No office, no outside funding

What makes my story relevant for your audience right now is that I am actively transitioning from solo freelancer to agency owner — hiring, building systems, onboarding clients at scale, and figuring out how to grow without losing the simplicity that made the freelance model work.

I can speak to both sides of that journey:

• Finding clients, escaping feast and famine, moving from one-off projects to retainers
• Building a real business beyond yourself — the mindset shifts, the hiring mistakes, the messy middle

My style: specific numbers, real mistakes, and simple systems listeners can copy the same day. Everything I talk about is current because I am still living it.

If your audience includes freelancers, solopreneurs, or anyone thinking about the jump from operator to owner, I would be a strong fit for your show.
