How to Start A Career In Design: Tips for Beginners
How To Get Your First Graphic Design Clients
The video discusses how freelancers can transition from trading time for money on freelancing platforms to achieving financial, temporal, and locational freedom. Chris suggests that marketplaces like these are only enough to keep freelancers from starving, but they are not enough to get ahead. To escape this cycle, freelancers should establish their worth in the market by calculating their effective hourly rate and average monthly income. Then, they should identify an area they are passionate about and become an expert in it. By doing so, they can create a portfolio that only showcases their skills and target a specific audience. Lastly, they should research relevant hashtags and offer their services to industry-related podcasts, YouTube channels, or similar platforms to get their name out there.
