4 Things Learned in 8 Months of Freelancing


4 lessons learned

  • Do free work. Tell them how much it would have cost, but do it for free.
  • Don’t worry about what gear (i.e., camera, audio gear, design software, etc) you have. Use what you have.
  • Study story telling. Find the stories you like and deconstruct them.
  • Publish things. Put out what you make and iterate.
