Ran, you're a legend! :) Thank you so much for all of your content. I learned so much from you.
Thanks for sharing Ran, it's very insightful
Loved each and every one of the 5 points. As i'm just starting out organizing myself to become a freelancer in the future (currently an in-house designer) I'm super focused on the last one. Systems are very important, and once you get in the habit to time yourself and see how much time you spend in each task, it's so much easier to estimate projects its crazy! Keep up the good work man, you're giving lots of great value in this new format!
Thanks Guzman and good luck on your upcoming move!
So happy to have found your channel Ran! Awesome content for freelancers.
I think i most struggle on lead generation, networking and client relationships... Doesn't come natural to me
Fantastic tips, thank you!
Thanks for sharing Ran.
Hey Ran congratulations on 100k subscribers, and thank you for all amazing videos that helped us all these years!
Thanks Momcilo!
Take calculated risks!!!
This 'calculated' keyword is pivotal to sustainability.
Great job Flux!💯
Thank you! Ran
Love each of 5 points!
Hey, ran thanks for this video but, I think you have already told these things so many times in your videos. That's why I have started to do that. and now in month I have started to get project thankyou for sharing it.
Hey Ran this was by far the most helpful content yet! Thank you! I’m wondering if you’ve considered releasing these videos as a podcast too? I would love to be able to listen to them while commuting especially when this style of video doesn’t need to be watched to get the content. A channel on Spotify would be awesome! Food for thought?
Yes, I've tried it but it was too much work. As I start to build my team an delegate, that's definitely one of the things we'll do.
@@FluxAcademy Have you looked at Anchor? Free to host with intuitive tools for editing, record from anywhere.
Ran, I love your content so much, and even though I know you don't do this work for free, after all you can monetize your audience in many ways, I'm very inclined to buy your course as a way to thank you (and knowing that will help me too of course). Thank you and congratulations for the work!
Happy to hear Cauby!
I'm watching in 2020 and still, these tips are great. Thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
Interesting to listen to you thank you for sharing your ideas and experience.
I just have ask... what about the purple color? it looks strange to see this purple color at your skin.
Dang loving those view counts. I Started watching a while ago, haven't watched much lately but kudos bro. Your content is fire, though you first lot of info was really good and the video quality, now it's just dayyyyyummm. And my workflow in webflow improved immediately, I wish I could have helped u financially but couldn't, so only watched free YT content. But you helped me alot, and your growth is popping, congrats bro.
Chur
Thanks for sharing
Great video!
Congrats on 💯 k! 😁
YES to this entire video!!
thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Our pleasure!
Hey, It would be nice if you could talk more about you expenses, should a freelancer incorporate or not, how to price your projects, how to split the payments (should it be milestone conditioned) etc. Just give an example of one of your recent projects - from a financial and time management perspective.
Thank you for your content.
I respectfully disagree I do not believe you have to have fun talking to people. I have fun creating art. I’m a freelance graphic designer and for the past few years i have dealt with great clients and then crap clients and what I personally learned from my experiences doing freelance is that it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day how polite you are, if the clients doesn’t want to work with you they simply won’t 🤷🏽♂️ and it’s that simple because to some clients the price is everything they don’t really care about skill. Of course you have the clients that want to work with you and don’t care about the price but I just felt like it was important for me to shed some light on the common client that graphic designers deal with on a daily bases.
regardless of price, if you don't enjoy working with your clients (and they don't enjoy working with you), I don't see long term future growth potential.. but would love to hear about your success! I know many people are having difficult time with "people skills" and if you think you have found a way to succeed without it - I'm interested in hearing about it!
Hey Ran, I was wondering what your thoughts are on “finding a niche”. Do you think that’s an important thing for long-term development, or is finding clients that can pay your rates, regardless of the industry, sufficient?
In my opinion, I believe "choosing your niche" is an important part of the process. I'm a web designer that focuses on eCommerce/business websites for First Nations/Metis/Inuit people. I use my ethnicity and knowledge of my culture's problems and start solving there first.
I hope you figure it out eh!
what if there is no cushion? what if "freelance" first and foremost means you are remote and unable to meet client in person?
How long does it take from being a novice UX designer, got one project in my portfolio, to being able to replace my current job, i.e earning 3500$ a month. I know, it depends on how much work I put into it. But if you were to guess, from my place, to get a pretty consistent income?
Ok.. There are 10 comments but I'm only seeing 1 view while I'm watching... Hmmm
Amazing video... Love this.. Inspiring... Exactly what I'm doing right now.. Taking risks by increasing pricing, meeting and connecting, etc
Also, congrats on the 100k sub... 🥂
Thanks Elvis! Seems like people comment before they watch these days 😆
Ran, what if you want to work with world-wide clients? Web design might not be as popular anywhere and most freelancers are only "located" online.
Man can you make video about how the coach help you
My problem is how do you get the work. Where do I even start getting people to give me a chance to work when some cheap work to start with.
new mic? when did that happen? lol just got my yeti because of you.
Mello Multimedia looks like a Shure SM7B. It’s a legendary mic
@@HeliumContent Thanks!
@@Mellomultimedia no problem! If you decide to get one, you'll also need a really good preamp or something like a Cloudlifter CL-1 - the microphone needs a lot of clean gain to sound good.
Found you. 🙈. Now I am learning from you.
If you’ve already covered this question, please ignore this comment. I’m interested in learning more about the process you’ve developed for collaborating with contractors who you are delegating work to. How do you make sure your projects are their highest priority? What tools or processes have you developed to make communication and collaboration easier and more efficient than doing things yourself?
will build more content around it.
how r the courses
Relationship is my worse talented
Just curious, If you end your day at 6... When do you learn new things?
Good question. I listen to books when I ride to/from work. Sometime watch courses while I eat lunch in the office.
👏👏👏👏🎄
first!
.
Well what the heck should I do then if the only thing I can do is to create beautiful designs and make everything I touch on the web visually appealing to most people? If I absolutely don't like dealing with people. Like what? I feel like if I genuenly liked talking to them I'd have much more work. But if I leave that, what's left for me in this country is working as a cashier for $180 per month and not being able to build myself a future and save some money. "You can stop doing that right now" yea cool dude, thanks. And turn my life to an absolute shithole
either get a job where you get to only design or find a partner that loves dealing with people.
BS. I gave up after almost 15 years in 2020. Only a few people make this kind of money! It's a clickbait video to make your 300k with RUclips!
$300K... USD annually or for a single project lol? Still a lot of money annually, I guess you're just incredibly lucky
It was annually, I have a yearly report if you’d like to see at the beginning of this year
@@FluxAcademy Thanks. I wasn't sure how was it but still... chill out man. What I meant is that you sure are incredible lucky as Im guessing not many freelances can have a $300K yearly income.
@@disco.lemonade He's an entrepreneur, has built his business for over a decade, that's not "lucky". Although I get your point most freelancers do not know how to make money because they enter the marketplace with an employee mentality and zero business/marketing/people-skills, that's where they fail!
In order to be successful freelancers who to become sort of business owners as well and take everything that comes along with it.
@@AFMCarlos yes, i guess i didn't see it like that... the thing is and correct me if im wrong, even if you've been doing this for 10, 15 years and have the business mind is not guaranteed you'll make that much money. is he getting $300k every year? are several freelancers? luck is still on the table when it comes to get some big major projects. get what i mean?
Well, that was a bit of a clickbait title! Should have been titled '5 Tips that have helped me to grow my freelance business'
In other words if you dont like to suck up to people. freelance is not for you.. thats the reality. sad bu true.
best places to close business is definitely going out to drink. and date a rich hot chick!!.. hahaahah
I don't think people genuinely love people who "suck up to them". I wouldn't do it, and I don't recommend anyone else to do it. On the contrary - my clients pay me as an expert because I'm not afraid to disagree with them and tell them I think they are wrong sometimes. Building relationships =/= sucking up to people
BS. I've never sucked up to anyone and turn people away if I don't like them.
Clickbait title / vague artist! Don’t waste your 15minutes of your life! Even isn’t worth fast forwarding.
