    I really appreciate your videos! I took notes on this one! I’m a freelance graph designer and photographer from Fayetteville, NC, but I’m also a writer, designer and photographer for a news paper in the city. Finding the balance of client work and 9-5 design work is insanely tricky but I’ve learned a lot from your videos, can’t wait for more!

      @@ShondaD_ Hi, it depends a bit on how much work experience you already have. Are you fresh out of university or have you already worked in the media or design industry? If not, I would definitely recommend working in an agency for 3-5 years to gain experience and soft skills and build up a network. When I started my own business, I actively introduced myself to many companies and agencies as a freelancer. This helped me a lot to actively acquire new clients.

      @@ShondaD_ I can't tell you whether it's worth starting your own business in your individual case. There are too many variables that I don't know: your experience, your skill level, your previous network, your financial reserves.
      If you don't currently have the financial reserves to survive for 6-12 months, I would first recommend looking for a permanent job in the marketing sector. Here you can A: save money as security as soon as you are self-employed and B: gain experience and contacts.
      But if you already have experience and contacts in the industry and have a sufficient financial cushion - why not take the plunge?

    I wish you could touch on how to know the scope of what a new freelance designer can actually do and not bite off more than they can chew. I find that is a big question for me. How many clients to take on, work-family balance. I am married so that is important to me. I can think of other topics but these are most important for me.

      Not required, “recommended,” but you can do it all while being self taught in design! Look into portfolio school. What’s most important is consistent application of everything you learn along the way.

      Well, choosing a niche means you also learn how to say no to things that aren’t reflective of that. When I started, I did it all. Most creators can do a lot of different things. I made this point basically to say picking a niche helps you focus in one lane and scale, so if you’re interested in growing your freelance business, that’s one (strong) way to do it.
