@@radhikaverma6031 Well if you know what their problem is then you can gear the pitch much more directed to solving this. Also, in the conversation, you need to uncover what is really bothering them in their business.
I like how ur providing infos that are hard to find and out off the usual bcs as a self taught designer I can easily find videos about learning programmes and all the design skills but it's almost impossible to find someone who explains how to develop ur skills or find a job which made me quit learning several times but with you I'm really willing to take the action and be a full time graphic design student and one day an awesome graphic designer like you
Wow thanks so much for this! It’s my entire goal to inspire designers like yourself to realize you are valuable and that you can achieve the goals you want. Just keep on going!
Problem solving approach of yours is really the one least considered among the aspiring designers... If one keeps this in mind and work then money will follow automatically... Thanks for this foundational tip! 👍
I am new as a graphic designer. Watching few of your videos I have decided to watch all of them. Then I will proceed carefully and start my design business. Thanks a lot.
As someone who wants to have my own Graphic Design business, I am getting some really good advice because I have no clue how to go about this lol. Thank you!
Amazing video thanks for the tip! I am trying to get into the gaming world as a graphic designer, but I'm afraid content creators (on Twitch for instance) don't want/can't pay for this kind of service :(
The only way to know for sure is to talk to them and find out what they are willing to pay. Maybe there is another sector of the Gaming world that would be willing to invest more. I don't know enough about this niche, but it is worth digging deeper!
Pure Practical approach to Design industry. Generally designers looks for money rather they should look for clients and their problems. Thanks mam for your guidance.
You know what she deserves subscriptions of Millions more subs. Keep it up good work. You just gave me the courage to continue my journey as a Graphic Designer. THANKS A BILLION TIMES!
Great info but lacking pointers are: 1. podcast name not mentioned 2. unique problems of the clients you solved and what kind of designs of you made to convenience them 3. same for real estate.. I am still figuring out what problem they were facing that solved by what designs. 4. no proofs or imagery shown. 5. tings you mentioned are just in the air but you have an amazing story telling skill, I literally watched entire video.
Thanks for your comment. To answer your questions: 1. Just One Dime was the podcast I was on. You can find the interview here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yDhoU6Q9JXI.html 2. Amazon sellers had the problem of not having enough sales. You can see a sample of my case studies: www.principiumstudio.com/climbon/ 3. Real estate agents have a problem of attracting more leads. By you creating flyers, designs and such for them, you help them solve the problem by attracting more leads. 4. See my website: www.principiumstudio.com/
Definitely not the time for me to start thinking of niching down , when I'm just starting out , I wanted to just make logos but now I feel like all me knowledge of other areas of design might be wasted while I struggle to make a name in logo design so why not do a bit of everything I can now , the infographic got me thinking about all this.
I understand what you’re saying. You can bundle your design skills into a package you offer your clients, for example I don’t just do brand identity but also do packaging, insert cards and Infographics but it’s in one specific niche. The point of niching down is to get noticed more quickly and stand out amongst all the competitors out there.
Trying, but i seem to get lost in a bunch of middleman websites. I will keep trying and refine my niche as sticking to designing for musicians seems a bit too broad. Thanks!
Hi, I am your new subscriber. I am very inspired on your video content and wishing that someday, I may be like you! Thank you so much po. from Philippines.
Amazing video thanks for the tip, I am a graphic designer but I don't know what I do and I'm interested in the cosmetic industry? please can you help me!
@@4TheCreatives Yes, it is a really wonderful and very useful guide, I only have a few questions, from your experience, what are the 3 best industries to work in (just to know) and for the customer, what kind of message should I send to him? If you have a small text (script) that would be great I appreciate that you answer all of your followers' questions, you are great
@@3ataja1 That’s a hard question about the best, I’d say that anything that is booming right now: tech startups, anything in e-commerce and Amazon sellers, but there’s sooooo much more and you have to explore it using Google trends. You can take a look at this video on IG outreach where I go over how to approach people a little better: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-An57G2Z-QGs.html
I just watched the video and I must say I am highly inspired, I am new in the graphics designing world. I would love to know if you run a mentorship program. Thanks
Harder to say I can solve problems when I'm an illustrator who's focus would be on drawing book covers, character design, and graphic novels. Like illustrated picture books, comics, manga, or webtoon. The issue I always come across is that I can't find those that would like the artstyle I use. I get told my art is good, but that my artstyle isn't what they want. I offer to adapt and make efforts to suit their needs and I never get a new opinion on the changes. How can I convince or find those that would take on my unique style of art? Or convince them that I can adapt to other styles?
Illustrations are what help to make a book more enjoyable, they are what help to make a book stand out on the shelf and they are what set the whole style for a book series. They are an absolute vital part of marketing for authors!! You should look at a bunch of different book genres and determine which one has the closest style to what you like to create. That will help you to know who to go after.
@@4TheCreatives you told about podcast and you said you will create a video for how to do podcast but I did not find any video related to it. Hope you understand. Thanks
Hello Mohammed! I have a course that teaches you the fundamentals of graphic design: www.4thecreatives.com/design or you can start with the free guide on the fundamentals: 4thecreatives.com/design-exercise/
That are some good advices! I've been reading books about marketing and stuff and this problem-solving method is mentioned quite a few times because it is just that effective! However, I'm struggling to use it in illustrator/vector graphics related niche. How do I convince people that I can solve their problems? Without having previous clients and only having a portfolio of my own projects (though i used mockups to show how they look in practical use), I'm confused about it.
IF you found out that your clients don't have the good logo that connects to the client then you can provide them what they are lacking that it you have to go in-depth to solve their problem then the client is forever yours and their are many ways too .
@@neoniminecraftt8925 but I don't do logo. I know logo, brand identity and other stuff is more lucrative but I wanted to stick in one niche to be more skilled at it. I want to know how I can approach people with vector graphics, or is it just hard to get jobs through that?
@@alterakdraws9023 so i am no one to say that you do this you do that do what you like the most and yea you can make money from the logo that but you have to do intensive research if their logo sucked that you can provide your pro logo services and same for brand identity so and your approach one there is 2 chance of this either hire marketer that do your job or do freelance and if you want to approach your clients then you just have to reach them and sell you value what you can provide as per my knowledge. be open about more opportunity you never know when you get your job yes both freelance and business both are hard but it becomes easy when you do work on them yea
I think Marcus said some great points. But to further answer your question, no matter what type of design you do, the client will need it to help them enhance their business in some way. You have to uncover what that is by asking your ideal client what the business problem they are running into that your services would help solve. This will give you great insights into future marketing of your own services and how you position yourself. Maybe they need illustrator graphics to help connect with their customers in an easier way, maybe it will help them stand out from competitors. These are generic problems, so that is why getting specifically what your ideal clients are running into is vital.
@@4TheCreatives Yeah, that was really great advice, thanks Marcus! I think there are already tons of startups which have their presentation aspect of their business not up to the mark. So, the overlap between business which need a rework and business which has a budget according to my experience is where I'll find clients. Also, I think people who does the whole package like brand identity may need other graphic designers to help with the different aspects of the work to make their own work faster and maybe that's a good place to reach for the work too? Is it possible?
thanks so much for valuable content! :) I just found your channel, and was trying ti find your designs, brand identities, but I could not find. Would you mind sharing? Thanks a lot!
I really appreciate your kind words, Rūta. You can see my design business website here: www.principiumstudio.com/ And some videos where I show my design process are here: ru-vid.com/group/PLdHyNrkiFQPrDtOeC_9_mSrcVS6NLL1If
Hello Lauren, Thanks for sharing this valuable tricks for get freelance client. Please reply me if you offer any graphic design course. I am looking for a graphic design mentor.
Hello MD! Yes, I have a graphic design course all about the Fundamentals and inside you get critiqued in your design learning journey by me. You can find out more about it here: 4thecreatives.com/design
To summarize, you find a niche that you can help. Reach out to them authentically and let them know how you can solve their problem that's related to design. Once they give you a chance to solve their problem, then they refer you to others who need your services, and it snowballs. But like how long did it take for you to notice you were on the right track? And what's an example of a message to let them know you can help them? And how many clients did you have to reach out to, to land your first one?
Yes, that is a good way to summarize it. Well you have to figure out what niche is profitable and going to continue to be projected to have growth. I have a video that helps you figure out the type of messages/e-mails to write that will help you understand the volume. It takes a lot of VOLUME to get any responses. It will vary based on your niche, where you are writing and how good the e-mails are. That is why I suggest also connecting with community leaders, podcasters, and other resources to get in front of your audience on a broader scale. Here is the video that can help with how to reach out to them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RJWiAoPcsNI.html
I have something similar which you can find here but I go waaaay more into this in my coaching program. Here’s the video link I mentioned: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i40CprDKRTE.html
It's all about how you position yourself. It doesn't matter where you are in the world. Choose an ideal client and a core service you offer and really show how you solve their business problems with your design service, I have a student who is from India who gains the trust of clients from all over the world.
Upwork is so saturated, especially the graphic design niche...I tried submitting a proposal to a job(I think it was a simple logo retrace from a lower-res jpg file) and then after submitting it had 15-20 proposals, it had less than 5 when I was writing my proposal(which I think I wrote in 2-3 minutes).
I’m sorry to hear that! My experience with those platforms is they are a lot of work to get noticed and then you’re not able to charge a lot because you are constantly competing on price. You should start your own design company and built that up. You can check out my guide that walks you the through how to get started. Did you get that?
How would you feel about outsourcing your projects to our agency in South East Europe? We would be delighted to work out unlimited revisions until perfect product!
@@4TheCreatives please show live demo how to find clients from internet... this video is very helpful but i don't get idea how to start and what is the process for that
Hello, this video is a real treasure thank you for that. What do you think about selling on fiverr? I've been recently selling on fiverr making around 1k month but lately it stopped giving me impressions and I am now really struggling. However this what you came up with in this video is really good advice and haven't hear about this yet
Sorry that you are struggling on Fiverr. I don't like it and have never used it. It is such a hard game to play and that is why I suggest starting your own business instead.
Hi your video is very interesting.. may I know how did you contact each seller in amazon ? I really love you Idea. hope You can share it with me as well :)
I would look through listings that needed some help, and then find their company either on social media or through their website. It takes a volume of outreach in order to get any responses, but it is the right thing to do while you are building up your content marketing and brand. Here is a video that shows how to outreach to a client without spamming them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-An57G2Z-QGs.html
