GETTING CLIENTS AND OFFERING YOUR SERVICE
--------------------------------------------
First, you have to be shameless in marketing and have a good portfolio.How to get clients.
Inform people that you are a graphic designer through your social media accounts.Send a broadcast on WhatsApp to your contacts informing them that you're a graphic designer. Don't forget to send some of your designs (3 or 4) then send them your Portfolio.As a newbie, you have no designs right? Create fictional designs. Create designs for your company and for companies that do not exist. Do you understand?Another way is to offer free designs. You can approach brand owners that you're a graphic designer and you can design a flyer for their brand for free. That's to gain their trust.Don't forget to show up everyday. Your profile picture should be simple and neat. A picture of you of course. Let people know you. Post values on your status or timeline. Post your designs too.If you show up everyday to post memes, don't expect any client.Another way is to run ads (free or paid) to inform people that you're a graphic designer.If you know you're charging $5 for a client to do a simple graphic design job, and you want to make atleast $200 monthly, you must have atleast 40 clients you're working with regularly.And to achive this, you must be ready to reach as much as 40 people daily and consistently and get as many people aware about your services as possible.And do not beg people. Don't appear salesy.Let me tell you this. Don't send messages like this:"Hi (client name).I provide professional (your service) services. Let me know if you will be interested in it.For more information, send me a mail at ... or call ..."It's salesy and focused on you. It doesn't show the benefit, or how it would make their life easier or still why they should care.Below is the message you can send."Hi Soffy,I've been following your work at Soffy's Collections (a boutique) for a while and I'm really impressed with how original your business is.I've worked with some companies/ brands like Farry's Scarves (another boutique) and helped them with better engagements by designing stunning flyers for them/managing their social media page and I believe I can be of help with that for your brand too.If you're open to it, we could discuss better and even possibly get on a call for ease of sharing. Thanks!"You don't need to claim what you're not. Do not lie if you've never actually worked for "Farry's Scarves" because the potential client may research, find out you lied and block you.Don't forget what I told you, you can create designs for brands that never exist.You can also create free designs for brands and ask for reviews. (To gather reviews, do you understand?).
HOW TO TEACH PEOPLE AND EARN
------------------------------------------------
Now! You've learnt Graphic Design (Video Editing or any skill) and you are really good at it. You can teach people how to design.Where will you get the people you'll teach?
Social media. Use your social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp etc) to inform people about the graphic design class.Tell people to post the advert flyer/ video and link (the link that leads to your inbox or the WhatsApp/Telegram group where the class takes place) for you.You can also run a paid ad. You can pay any of the social media accounts above to show your advert to so many people.You can run a free-paid class. That is, when running the ad, you tell people that it's free.Fill up the group where the class takes place with at least 200+ people.Make them understand what the class is all about, when the class will start (date and time). You can make the class last for 2-3 days so that you would have enough time to give them value in the free class.You know you can't give out the full value in 3 days. So immediately after the last lesson of the free class, tell them about an advanced class which they'll pay.Add the people that paid to another group, send the proof of payments of the people that have paid to the group to trigger them so they'll also make payments.How to record your screen when designing?
Download Xrecorder, it's user friendly. Though, I think everyone smartphone has a screen recorder but I recommend that.
It's the prerecorded videos you'll send to the group.Another way is to create a YouTube channel and post your videos then in the end of the video and in your description, inform them about a paid tutorial.You can also record, package and sell your course online and also on so many platforms.If you think you can't really do anything stated above or you think it's stressful or you're not ready, you can sell this course and you'll earn 50% commission.
