out there. You, like, I want to work with that person. I want to do some design work for them or whatever the service might be. How do you actually do it, but sometimes it's by doing something for them proactively, like not just pitching yourself but actually saying? Ok, I made this thing or I found this thing that could improve the work you do or whatever it is now. Of course, I can be a risky strategy because Europe, basically working for free for a bit, but listener success story actually comes from. One of our listeners he's been part of a chauffeur, while in L, a graphic designer reaches out to an influence. She follows on Youtube, reaches out to this person as millions of followers famous fashion beauty, blogger, and actually works out really well for her from that contact. She goes on to build a full, fledged design agency drawing in ten thousand dollars a month and was several other famous, or known clients. A story also includes a throwback to Myspace the greatest network of all time. Remember Myspace, or some of you dont be may have

at the story also reminded me of how I met my long time, developer Nicky her shawl just about ten years ago. He pursued a similar approach with me, Then we ve worked on more than a dozen projects together, including nine years of debate. Yes, you actually reached out to me and said, like hey, there's something about your site that I dont like. So I made something better, and here it is take a look here. We got my in all these years later, all those projects are not as a result from following the same strategy than when I tell you about today. So now I graphic nine influences influencers. That story is coming right up.

I think designer Donley had an eye for style from a young age when she was a kid she loved watching Disney shows like Lizzie Maguire and that so Raven after watching episodes, she would sketch animations and gifts to post on Myspace preference to share Myspace. Just in case you ve never heard of it was the largest social network. In the early two thousands before Facebook came along dont had no idea that she was creating a future reality for herself from a young age. She then began the traditional path that many follow: graduating high school, going to college and earning a four year degree, but then, rather than taking the first available job, she found Don chose to travel for awhile and figure out what she really wanted to do Jeddah design, degree and thought she could at least you something with her skills till she figured out what was next. During this space, you aren't a living through freelance design, work, making graphics and business cards to support her life

I'll until she found a real job, but despite applying for various positions that real job would never come after listening to an episode of cider school, that's us! That's! Our back. Ass Don learned about the world of March by Amazon began designing tee shirts cell between her full time, freelance cakes and a teacher business. Her schedule was full, but still none of these projects felt sustainable. Like many millennials Don found herself spending a lot of time on Youtube watching how to into tutorial videos from top influencers one day, she was on her favorite Youtube influencers channel and notice to disconnect between the content being presented in the graphics that were used and she started seeing. This is a trend with many top influence They had millions of followers, sometimes with their graphics, still had a homemade feel that's what she saw. A new opportunity arise. What if she could create better, more brand, suitable graphics and offer them to top influencers on a whim. Die,

Look a simple design for her favorite celebrity gin M genocide, korean American fashioned blogger, with more than two million subscribers, an email it to her she told her. She went to make her brand stand out more by creating visually stunning graphics and, to her surprise, she received a response within fifteen minutes. Just like that. Don had our first client. She began doing graphics, rejected on the side, while continuing her other freelance work start up, costs were extremely low, exactly fifty three dollars a month, for it go be creative cloud and toys a month for website hosting it wasn't long until she started receiving enquiries from other youtube. Influencers asking for design help within three months of doing this on the side leave. This could be a full time career. She began to wrap up as other freelance jobs and focus her time and energy on growing. Her Youtube work within six months. She was dedicating her time solely to this audience when she first started was bringing in an extra fifteen hundred dollars per month, then, when she went full time with it, it shut up to five thousand dollars a month or client base began to grow.

With more more top influencers on Youtube, she's now running ten thousand dollars a month in profit and recently hired a full time, business, development, partner and part time, creative staffer of core as with many new ventures, it wasn't always may sailing as a creative person in a business setting don realize that wasn't prepared for negotiations, proposing contracts or setting boundaries in place so that clients didn't take advantage of her. Occasionally found. She was losing time and money by allowing clients to request numerous provisions without charging extra return. So through trial and error, she was eventually able to create a system that worked for her. For anybody out there willing to launch a similar business or freelance model. John Rex, and setting a limit on the number of revisions you will allow from a client if they request we're outside of that range charge. Extra make sure you protect yourself, so it's not endless work for one job and also

we stand at everything, is a work in progress. So over time, you'll know what's working or not and can adjust your terms accordingly. She also encourages you to be bold and reach out to who you want to work with dull way for them to find you, because they won't take some time to create a design or pitch that fits your ideal clients, Tyler Brand and then send em your markup give them to look at rather than just sending your website and portfolio. So then that you have value to offer in some way they might not. Otherwise, no that's what she did in those days watching Disney shows posting to Myspace have paid off. Why, hey that anything is possible now, there's no guarantee that a strategy like this is gonna work. We could end up doing something and not hearing back Burgess hearing back, you know thanks, but no thanks. But then again you know, she's got a six figure business from it and, like I said it remain

where the story of working with Nicky my developer, I'm still working with him after ten years and many projects, so I'm so glad that he reached out not dance. Advice is just to recap on this point, create something that speaks to that. Its vision, rather than sitting a generic portfolio or website. That really is key, and I also went look at her website and she has this very strong design style. It is your specific. It looks just like you know the kind of thing that you would see going over really well on Youtube with these fashion lifestyle bloggers. So she clearly understands that aesthetic and his incorporating it, but also a kind of adding to it ass. She got so a clear vision, well executed, and you never know, maybe there's a risk I need to take a small risk, of course, not telling you to go and quit your job. Maybe there is some small rescue can take. It would lead to great advancement. Inspiration is good, but inspiration with action is better today, show notes from a link up Donnelly's work. Anything else that I mentioned

Adobe creative cloud and whatever else it talks about in the episodes are going to be outside school dot, com, slash, eight to six episode, eight hundred and twenty six or Myspace. Of course we want to link up Myspace, just in case you dont know how to find it. It's gonna be So no it's page and I'll be back again tomorrow with the weekly recap. Thank you so much.
