4 Things Learned in 8 Months of Freelancing (FS119)
The story on todays episode is especially helpful for those of you who work directly with clients — freelancers, videographers, designers, copywriters, etc.
We have a special guest on the show today (especially special for those of you who listened to all the early episodes of The Fizzle Show) who’s recently created a videography business from the ground up, and on the show today we hear his story. Enjoy!
4 lessons learned
- Do free work. Tell them how much it would have cost, but do it for free.
- Don’t worry about what gear (i.e., camera, audio gear, design software, etc) you have. Use what you have.
- Study story telling. Find the stories you like and deconstruct them.
- Publish things. Put out what you make and iterate.
