first earning as a freelancer exactly 3 years from today I made about 8,000 rupees couple of months later November 2020 is when I made my first 1 lakh rupees as a soul freelancer and it was that day when I decided that I will never work a day in my life in a job I was living with my parents I was working from my room itself in my pajamas for companies around the world and making money that I could only dream of as a school student and this is exactly how I did it and how you can start with it as well first step is always to set realistic expectations the first 10,000 rupees per month is going to be the most crucial Next Step that you need to focus on is to find out that Niche or that skill that you want to be known for right people who are expert at notion they make a lot of money people who are experts at creating a particular graphic design for a brand make a lot of money people who create amazing looking websites for e-commerce make a lot of money but you know who doesn't make a lot of money people who try to do everything right I will learn a bit of coding I'll do TOA marketing I will also do TOA emails the dark reality is no one would want to hire you if you have not specialized in a particular skill it could be graphic design video editing coding it could be UI design please understand one thing do not waste your time overthinking about what skill to pick just pick one start with it and you will later on realize if you really like it or not let's see you bck video editing how do you learn video editing how do you become a video editor well just go on YouTube just search video editing masterclass or just search Adobe premium Pro crash course or just search DaVinci Resolve tutorial go to the top videos go and watch each of them try to do exactly what they are trying to do as well and learn everything about that software learn everything about being a video editor so you've picked a skill for yourself and you've also started learning that skill in the first one week also try to understand who do you want to cater to what is your target audience do you want to cater to people who are running their profitable businesses do you want to CER to recently funded startups do you want to cater to corporates do you want to cater to Soul creators do you want to cater to someone who is maybe into real estate have a clear idea of who you want to cater to the saying a man who tries to catch two rabbits catches none is so true and important for you to understand pick that target audience that you want to cater to for example marketup which is my marketing agency we solely get to startups and companies to help them grow organically on social media that is our simple and easy to understand pitch now once you figured out your target audience the first one week should be all about understanding everything about this field just go on Fiverr and search video editor graphic designer logo designer and see how much are people charging and what are they delivering as a result of that and that will give you an idea for how much effort you have to put in and what return can you expect now as you are acquiring SK skills and knowledge about your space it's very important for you to take notes you can use notion you can use your own diary as well and just write down okay people are charging let's just say $20 for One logo that they are making on Fiverr people on upwork are charging let's just say $10 per hour for creating this edit you need to have a clear idea of how much is your work actually worth in reality so the first week should be all about learning from tutorials taking notes and having an idea of who your target audience is who you want to cater to as a freelancer in week number two you will Implement all of your learnings all of the things that you've learned from tutorials into your own projects into your own portfolios you don't need to have a freelance client to create a portfolio you can just create random names of websites and companies and Brands and start creating projects around that here is a e-commerce website for a company that sells dog food here is what a logo would look like for a coffee brand just Implement start creating use your knowledge and start creating projects as much as you can stop looking for cookie cutter projects you might search on YouTube right what should a logo designer portfolio look like what should a Content writer portfolio look like stop looking for that just think about what you think is interesting create a logo for a brand that you would truly care for for example I love traveling on vistara if I was a logo designer I would redesign the whole brand of vistara and show it to people I love staying at Taj hotels so what I would do is I would create a new website for Taj and showcase it in my portfolio I love watching videos for a particular Creator I would download their video I would edit it and I would use it in my portfolio the idea is to Simply look out for random Brands and create a project that showcases your best skills and what you can do in that particular project do that create a great project and portfolio host post it on something like beans or Vimeo or dribble or it can also be your GitHub or it can also be your own personal website just put 500 rupees and buy your own domain name ishan sharma.com when you do that you automatically appear a lot more professional in front of people and they would not think of you as a beginner who's just getting their hands dirty so week 2 is all about implementing what you've learned creating multiple projects and showcasing it into a portfolio that you are building yourself there are tons of no code tools you can also use notion as your own website and you can just create a great looking portfolio which has the best work that you've ever done right you can have three to four websites that you've created three to four videos that you've edited some logo designs that you've done or just anything but it has to be concise that showcases your abilities and it showcases the effort you took in to create something new from scratch all right that is we number two week number three is the very interesting one right now most of the people they learn they have a portfolio but that's it then they're just waiting for people to come in and give them work that will never happen what you need to do in week number three is to reach out be the most discoverable person out there in that particular Niche what that means is you need to be on Fiverr go on fiverr.com and create an amazing profile for yourself create a gig that showcases the services that you can offer to people and optimize it for search on Fiverr number two go on up for create a profile over there as well go on to LinkedIn create a great profile for the particular keywords that you're looking for right the skills that you have the work that you've done plus the people that you're looking to work with your target audience and once you're done with all of the three start reaching out to people that you would love to work with there are so many people who reach out to me saying that hey I love your content would love to work and I actually engage in those conversations because they they have put in the effort to show me the work that they've created for me for example if you want to work with your favorite Creator don't just go on an email and beg them for work download a video of theirs edit it to the best of a capability and just share it with them and be like hey I edited this video for you please have a look and let me know if you would want to work with me the biggest turn off for any client is the way you write and what you communicate and number two how responsive you are when talking to them right these two things if you can master right there is no way that you cannot work with the best clients out there in the world so you can call DM people on social media platforms you can also call email people you can find their emails from rocketreach from hunter.com and start reaching out to all of these people this is going to be a very important process week three is going to be all about being discoverable and reaching out to your favorite Creator and showing them the work that you've done it could be a Creator it could be a company it could be anyone that you would want to work with with the fourth week is going to be if you're still not able to get clients through the third week the fourth week is where you would start creating content let's say you're a logo designer right recently a ton of companies change their logos and their branding for example Air India Chang its branding recently you make a real talking about hey I just had a look at the Air India branding and I think it sucks let me remake the whole branding right so you apply your skills apply your creativity and create a fresh branding logo and everything about that brand from scratch you tag that brand and you also post it on Instagram there is a huge chance that this real will be watched by tens hundreds thousands of people many of them would be people who would want to hire and work with you you have no idea how many opportunities you can create simply by being discoverable on social media teaching programming for 350 hours because I was discoverable on LinkedIn and someone just reached out to me saying that hey we watch your video on YouTube and we now want to work with you as a Creator and teacher on unacademy that is the power of being discoverable on social media profiles it could be a logo redesign it could be you creating a completely new website for a particular brand and posting the process of creating that on social it could be Twitter and Linkedin and Instagram these three platforms you have to be on and share the case studies and Journeys and how did you change a particular brand and what was the learning that you had while you were doing that
