️Watch This If You Want To Make Money With Blender

The editing is absolutely fire

You work alone or have hired some people?

Great video. There's far too many freelances out there that charge waaay too little for their work. It's a industry problem where underpaid freelancers create a customer base that has grown accustomed to pay very little for certain types of work, especially in the design field. I've seen graphic designer charge what is essentially fast food dish washer pay for their services while sporting 5+ years of experience. This is insanity.

Know your worth, know the value of the things you produce and the skills you have.

Amazing, the guy who has a “class” to sell you, so corny.

i had such bad issues with my pc.. editing 4k video with an ryzen 7 5700x and 1060ti, ill configured RAM hella crashes.. it set me back so hard that I ended up doing the video for free just to keep a client coming back and build trust with... never start a project unless you know your work station is working good and powerful enough to trust your own deadline date for Cx to be complete.

man
where to get clients

Says add 50% profit then adds 100% to it lol

good video! What program did you use for edit it?

Bruder bitte werde Lehrer an meiner Schule! Du bist der einzige der irgendwas weiß über Wirtschaft🙏
Geile Erklärung

stop being so comfortable bro

I'm watching it for boxers, lol and all the funny inserts :D

LOL the memes!

The best thing about this video is that it also applies to any type of freelancing in general. Thank you very much Smeaf for your efforts and information. Its really hard when starting out as a fresh graduate with some experience to start freelancing. I would have made the same mistake as you before seeing this video. Again thank you very much for all your hard work and contributions to teach us.

Eh. As someone working in advertising for almost 20 years, I find this rather crude. “Risk”? No - what you should establish is your dayrate, meaning how much you charge of 1 work day of your 3D work. Then you factor in the buyouts - where and for how long is the animation going to be used, which market, what media? These two things matter and can be calculated

Man you really sent this message to company from my country

The plugs for other videos at the end are so smooth I'm on my third video from you in a row wtf

thank you! i am am now12 year old boy planning to be making big money in 3 years

The sonic part at the beginning is fucking priceless 😂

bo im hunagrian

thnk you

you can sell your meme collection for million dollars 😂😂

I think what I like about this video is that it extends beyond blender. Sure, this is very helpful to someone trying to become a blender freelancer, but it extends far beyond blender.

That old Duolingo logo was crazy.

I really wanted to launch Terraria and Elder Scrolls. But it’s time to get back to work... to look for new customers.

A comment below reminds me of a question I would have, if I were a freelancer: How do you play the game of delivering the product while they pay your invoice?

The commenter gave the client the final render but didn't get paid. That sux! If you don't give anything at all to the customer until the money arrives, the customer may be nervous about potentially dealing with a dishonest artist.

It's like some TV shows or movies where the bad guys line up on one side of an empty lot, and the good guys on the other. One shoves a bag of money partway over. The other side lets their hostage move to the center. Step by step, as long as each side sticks to some agreement.

Do you give the client a half resolution video file at half the frame rate, so they can see it exists, then they send half the money, then you send the full res version, then they send the final money? Something like that? I suppose if you and the client are working through some agency or freelance site, protocols are in place. But with no freelance experience (so far) I'd like an understanding of how that sort of stuff is dealt with.

I'm often agonizing between pushing on freelancing, or pushing on creating stock art.

For the latter, no bosses or clients. Make whatever I like, as long as it's likely to be of value to an average of three or four people in the world. Less sales effort. A few items will sell endlessly, like one model I have on Turbosquid. It's been selling on average once per month for the last year. It's a small cheap thing, so I'm not needing a yacht catalog just yet.

But I do wonder: with a much larger inventory of models, images and video clips, would I do better than attempting to freelance? I hate marketing, can't sell a bowl of warm beef and gravy to a dog, and not sure I want to put up with fussy clients or slow-paying clients.

I liked the mayonaise on the spanish cat thanks

Such a good price for these courses !! ;) :) but seriously so good!

The editing has me in stiches.

The right title should be "Watch This If You Want To Make Money Freelancing". Because those advice are really good for anything, not just Blender. Thanks man !

meme overload

I love your editing style bro. Genius.

Crazy how many people don’t know value based pricing lol

The jobs with the lowest fees generally have the most pain-in-the-ass clients. Don't ask why.

feed him to the lions don't ya think

I really enjoyed this. Thanks for putting it together. I had a question though. How do you reply to a potential buyer when they bring up Fiverr. If they try and haggle essentially and compare.

where are you getting this memes?

still doing all my work for free since 2 years :)

thanks

Is your 5k "regular job" also related to Blender or 3D Modeling?

3,500th like EXACTLY

hey mate, just gonna ask cause i got lost... if your cost at the time were 5k, and you are comfortable charging 10k, that would mean that your profit rates are 100% of your cost, i can see how you could get to the mentioned 50% rate as in 50% of your price is your profit, if thats the case, im sorry for asking that. It just sounds counter intuitive to use percentage that way cause at that point in the video you already estipulated your cost as 5k, so it makes more sense to me to say that your profit rate would be 100% of your cost, effectively stating your price as 2 times your cost. Anyway, im not mad at all, is just that semectics can be confusing sometimes, especially in a second language as in my case

Thanks heaps, my 6 year old kids (literally) actually love the way you present this idea. 😋And he's doing donut tutorial on blender right now.

Perfect! Really great information that I needed. Just purchased brand new Blender computer and am very interested in making money from projects. Thank you!

I have a huge problem with freelancing. In the country I live there is no income tax on individuals. So I don't have any form of tax identification number. Paypal, Fiverr, etc. all require this so I have no way to conduct freelance work.
