How to start as a freelancer

Hi All,
I’ve had a lot of people asking me how to start freelancing, how to sustain, how to find customers. I’ve been freelancing for 6 years now, pretty successfully so I thought I could share tips based on my experience.
I don’t have any magical recipe and your experience might be different but hopefully, it will help wannabe and beginners freelancer. This echoes my previous video showing my progress diving into 3D with blender.
Hope it will help some of you to decide wether they want to freelance or not. Stay safe, and keep on learning and training!
If you want to discover my courses, check them out through this link. Part of the funds will go to Blendernation, supporting your favourite Blender news website.
Cheers,
Pierrick
Hi Pierrick, this is something good to have talk about. I am already doing freelancer using Blender.
The link to check for your courses is not active. And I’m kind of discouraged with myself I started using Blender a out to years ago and I still can’t sculpt and animate, I’m just not getting it, I do spend a hell Lotta time working, but its not just coming, all I can do is create building and environments, I really wanna go far with Blender, if I still don’t get it I don’t know what else I can do.
Do you want to create characters and animate them? try making them keeping a reference with you. ex: take a simple and non complex image of batman and try recreating it in blender. be it low poly or that does not look realistic. there are lot of youtube tutorials out there.
The link works at my side.
I have to comit to it if you wanna progress. It takes time, it takes time for every one.
I’ve spent hundred of hours of training before having a descent level and I’m still learning and feeling I’ve so much to learn.
Baby steps, start with simple project and then go forward with more ambitious ones.
Don’t give up
yes that is true. baby steps are the de fecto.
Then focus on architecture or enviro, and keep improving. You need 10 years to become good. In anything.
Thanks a lot, maybe I’ll start with that.
Always start with very simple. buildings and environments are easy to make and nothing special in them. so try creating hard things in simple steps. you will amaze yourself once you made it.
