    Suppose I cannot afford to use Behance. And I am terrible at promoting on Instagram. I am rather nervous to promote on Instagram. I just opened an account a few months. But have an Deviantart though. Yup that old school. Can I use the same pictures from the Deviantart onto the Instagram? Without sounding like a copyright? And yea, I designed them myself.

    Right now i'm dealing with financials problems and i need to hear this kind of advices. Now i'm convenced that i need a fresh start and compromise more with my design skills and put more effort in my lettering projects.
    Thanks man
    I would love if you talk about making contracts, that's a part of the process i need to improve, here clients are a little bit of a nightmare, so please if you can make (or have made) a video about it, i will love to watch it.

    Is selling template work bad? I've heard mixed things about using templates/tutorials and then selling to clients. My friend does this and says its OK but my other friend never does it and talks about it like it's Hitler. Is there a definitive answer?

    i hated my life so i did something about it. I taught myself graphic design over the course of a year so I could be self employed. I dreamed of the day that i would finish my portfolio and website and be able to get clients. Now I'm at that point and I don't know how to get clients. There's marketing and theirs sales. I have my marketing plan but that could take a year to start being effective, I'm having trouble making sales (finding immediate clients).

    Hey Will! I found you through Roberto. I have struggled so much with specifying what type of graphic design I want to sell. I love creating many things. Between your videos and Roberto's video, I have now decided and I am rebranding. This video opened my eyes to my next step. Thank you so much for what you do. I've been creating for many years, and I finally found the people I needed for my next successful step in my freelance career.

    Thank you so much for the tips!
    Active on social media really do the trick. I've started active on instagram a year ago posting my work,
    and thankfully I have receive a dozen of client. And also I only want them to promote me, because promotion is more important for me than money. When you have enough popularity and portofolio, you can start to put a price on your work.

    3:33 LOL I do that all the time 🙂 Not because of a lack of paid work, but because most jobs that I got from clients were butchered, or don't fit in my portfolio.

    hey, what advice would you give someone who's wanting to pursue graphic design as a career, I'm working part time and doing an fda in graphic design, I also do the odd bit of freelance but not enough for me to live off, so should i carry on as I'm doing or get my name out there more through business cards, social media etc and just do freelance and education? thanks

    Great solid advice! A few months ago, I created a fake company and designed a flyer for them. A few weeks later, I got a call to do some work for a marketing agency in Arizona. They contacted me because they saw the flyer design online.

    Hi Will! thanks for this video! I've been considering using social media to share designs as you said, however I just don't feel confortable enough about it yet. I created my instagram account a few months ago, but I had to set it "private"… I sometimes feel scared of making my things public, and I know it is silly to think that way, but how can I prepare my mind or what can I do to to overcome this fear?

    Love your videos! I'm a UX student and i want to go into ux/web design but just really haven't gotten myself out there. I'll def heed your advice. My first client actually came from my old coworker from an internship I did. She and I made a wordpress site for the client together, me as the web dev, her as the designer. I built it decently but I wish I built it a lot more efficiently in hindsight.

    I remember my first client, it was a new deli in my city. My agency boss was kind enough to put a good word with a freelancing marketing manager, we both worked together and the client was a beauty!

    Thanks for the video Will!
