Hi! I've just discovered you and I think you're saying some interesting things. Actually I'm studying motion graphics and I find what you say quite important, since I'm thinking of going freelance as soon as I have enough experience and find some clients. Keep this great work! :D
I was just laid off and I had entirely the wrong idea what freelancing is. I was focusing more on full time job and contract. This seems a good way for me to generate income and build my portfolio.
I have been learning After Effects alongside a full-time job so my learning is very sporadic. I've done a tiny bit of paid work and set my rate as £22. I now wonder if that's far too low! What happens, though, if you spend quite a bit of time figuring out how to do something in AE while actually working on the job? Would you count that as part of the work?
Hey Luis! That's a very good question. I would say every country/region would have different standard. In Australia (Melbourne), I think many juniors who just begin their AE journey start with $40-$50/hr. So if you dont have many years of experience, I would say that what your charging is okay. BUt again, dont take my word for it because I cant advise about charging in different countries!! When I first started, I did have to figure out how things work as well (until now, but now not so much). If you do spend hours on learning how to do some new things then definitely dont put that as part of your work. I'd put that as personal learning. But then again for me, the hourly/daily rate is just there as a guide. MOst of the time, I give my client a quote as a flat rate, but based on my estimation on how many days/hours it'll take. Also, this video is almost 2 years old now. I should do an updated video on my experience after 2 years! :D
Hey, loved the video! Superb delivery. Quick Question. How long would you test the waters on a price range before you shift it up or down? +1 Subscribe.
hey Jabir, thanks for subscribing. it really depends. I usually raise my rates once a year. But I know some people been saying, if you've gotten bunch of work after 3-6 months, you should raise it. So it really depends on you, you'll know your situation the best. if you feel confident raising your rate after 3 months, then do it! :)
Yes absolutely! I increased it by much after 3 years. Would love to create another video for updates. Youre right, I think LinkedIn is a good place! I'm not very active there, but I should!n
Can you share your experience as a freelancer so far as you have now done 14 months in it? Also are you facing any difficulties grabbing clients and what's the best places to reach for clients? It would be really helpful if you help answer these questions as i also want to be a full time freelancer. Thanks and regards

Question. Because you’re self employed, how much do you keep aside for taxes?
I have been learning After Effects alongside a full-time job so my learning is very sporadic. I've done a tiny bit of paid work and set my rate as £22. I now wonder if that's far too low! What happens, though, if you spend quite a bit of time figuring out how to do something in AE while actually working on the job? Would you count that as part of the work?

curious, did your rate changed in 2023 ? :) i feel linkedin also got more popular for motion designers and snippets.
Yes absolutely! I increased it by much after 3 years. Would love to create another video for updates.
