Online Earning karni hai? - اردو / हिंदी [Eng Sub] - YouTube

Assalamu Alaikum, welcome to GFXMentor, I'm your teacher Imran and...

Today I'm here to discuss something, many people have asked so many questions,

The question is only one though!

"Sir, how do we start freelancing?"

When asked what experience you have-

"Sir, I just started learning Illustrator."

"Or I learned Illustrator, now learning Photoshop (or learned)."

Now I'm putting this topic aside for now and try to understand one important thing

and you'll agree with whatever I say.

For example,

a person's learning to drive car, from scratch...

Hits it, accidents happen, maybe not many are hitting.

Imagine that he has just learned to drive a new car and in his lane

or to say, on streets where traffic is less, driving there,

And he's still learning.

All of a sudden that person declares,

"I want to participate in Formula 1 now!"

Think, think once.

Now Formula 1 racing cars are different...

Let alone Formula 1, let's talk about Grand Prix.

Or the other global car races; Formula 1 is a different league, right?

Now imagine, is that person really ready for the fact that he...

race at the Grand Prix?

Or the race in Milan, should he participate there?

It can't be!

You all will agree too.

So what does he have to do first? He has to learn to drive very well.

Then he has to practice running on the big roads in the city

And believe me, when I first learned to drive,

literally I used to be scared to go on the main roads.

It was dangerous too.

But it doesn't happen to many people,

many people steal dad's car out of the house (😁) without telling them and learn too.

I didn't get such an opportunity, but I had to learn it later.

I've seen a lot of people doing excellent driving at a very young age.

So keep this driving in mind now, coming with your freelancing, later.

Now, this person who has just learned to drive

will first drive on the city roads, then on the highways.

This'll take at least a year, I think...

Well, not one year, at least six months will take! Isn't it?

At least six months to get the courage to go on the highways.

Now, driving on the highway is certainly not easy, you know

when traveling from one city to another, you get heavy traffic, the rules may be different there,

a certain speed limit has to be maintained.

In Karachi, when driving car, we feel like sprinting at above 40!

Because traffic jams, this or that, someone coming from this way or that way.

Pretty... pretty difficult it is!

And the guy who just learned to drive

is demanding "I'll take part in the Grand Prix."

Of course he can, I didn't deny, but...

Time! It will take time!

How much time? Depends on the practice.

If he practices more, starts to get on the highway sooner, then...

also participates in small street races.

Begins to understand the car and its parts; You have to understand it well dear!

Because...

He's planning something of grand level, isn't it?

Now even if we put him in the Grand Prix anyway, what'll happen?

Definitely he... will ruin everything!

Maybe he'll lose his life!

Now, of course, it was all about physical driving, let's get to your freelancing.

So dears, freelancing is also a Grand Prix race.

Race, really it's a race.

Because you're not alone to participate.

Many, many smart players around the world are in the market!

Now what's that market, let's talk about Fiverr as an example,

do you think all the new kids are there and everyone is working for 5$? No!

99Designs is, I say, a Grand Prix; or Upwork-

these are on a very high level.

Sometimes it hits the bullseye, it hits, but...

I request you all, first...

Get yourself ready to participate in such a race!

It's more important!

Now, what the small races will be like?

See let me tell you a simple thing.

If you're planning to do freelancing then please!

For God's sake, take some time first!

When people ask me, "We want to...

earn online" and "Tell me which software to learn".

My heart gets shattered into pieces, breaks apart. What are these people thinking!

See I always say that a graphic designer can earn better than an MBBS doctor.

Which is a fact, you all know.

Is it really okay, an MBBS doctor will earn less than us and we'll earn more?

Keeping in mind that the doctor has studied for God knows how many years, mastering thick books,

and then he goes on to become a doctor.

Think my dear, it's an injustice!

So, such injustice doesn't happen in this world actually.

As much as he studied, as many hours he has given in his studies, you must give too.

It's very important, please try to understand!

Then the problem occurs- many students often message me

"Sir...

I uploaded my gig on Fiverr but it's not selling at all."

Then bro, your work is not good!

The person who'll pay money will thoroughly check before paying. You simply think like that-

You go to the market to buy things, thousands of sellers are selling bad products,

Would you buy from them? No!

You'll go to that one seller who has the good products.

And he has a lot of rush.

Think for once!

The one who's spending money won't pay because he's merciful on you,

he's giving you money, which means he wants service from you and only the best one.

So it's a race, understand that it's a race

and to participate you need to exercise at a very pro-level.

By exercise I mean you must practice; You have to sharpen your skills more.

One thing to remember, skills can be learned.

Talent - which is by birth and God-gifted

Everyone has talents inside them, I'm not saying you don't have any talent.

Maybe you have a talent that no one can compete with.

Everyone surely has talents inside them!

Maybe you don't have the talent for design but something else.

Think about it.

Now...

Skills as I said can be learned, so the graphic designing, software, these are all skills,

these can be learned!

Some people are talented by birth, who...

without knowing what rules to follow,

their colour schemes turn out to be outstanding!

You may've seen, whenever someone design something, the colours are amazing.

It's gifted in him.

And if it's not gifted in you, then you have to learn the science of colours!

Understand typography, understand what is balancing.

These are the rules of graphic design!

You have to learn these rules just like...

to get a driving license you have to learn some rules.

Even though many people illegally take out licenses,

you know what the condition of the road becomes then.

People go at 40 speed in the fast lane, just because they don't have the knowledge,

have to go here fast, not 40, at least 80 speed needed here dude!

So the state of our roads, same with the freelance market.

Those who don't know what it is, jumps in to work.

So to you, to everyone, a small plea-

Please! Polish your skills first, then jump into the market.

Grow up gradually.

As I said, to drive cars first try the lanes.

Then the roads, the highways, then to think on whether to go to the races or not.

Do the same in freelancing.

Now let me share a strategy.

Practice first, a lot! So that you provide a solution...

Remember designing is a solution! I already mentioned this in my theory class.

Design is a solution!

So first you become the solution provider.

Many people told me, "Sir after watching such tutorials we designed a banner or a logo and put on the gig."

Fear the God, dear!

The whole world may've made that logo and banner, how do you...

I mean, you remake a copied design and claim that "look I can make these things"...

Can you really make it?

Everyone wants something different, boss! Something different.

If I go to make a suit, a Bespoke suit, made according to my body size;

if anyone's an expert, I'll be ready to pay him 20k to make.

Because my clothes will also cost at least 15 to 20k.

Everyone knows, to make an elite suit, it costs money!

And for elite work, you need an elite type of practice.

I'll be ready to spend 20k on that tailor to make my suit,

just because he has the expertise, a reputation in the market.

You have to be like that, you have to reach that level.

So now your practice will be done, well what to do next?

Then what will you do- for different people, that is, everyone around you-

your uncle, cousin, or any older brother, or father-

start designing for them, this is your first practice!

And you know what? If it's a nice design, if printed;

for example, you can design a business card for them, or you...

I won't tell about the logo at all now.

Design the business card if they have the existing logo,

If they have any shops, design the signboard.

Start from the little things, okay?

If they wish to run Facebook marketing then start that,

start social media marketing for them.

Do it for free, no problem!

This is your practice, start it.

At this duration you'll learn a lot.

Secondly I always say, grab some internships!

Do internships, you'll see how people work professionally.

Local... in your city, if you can get an internship at any office, it'll be excellent!

Don't take money, no problem. If you're paid, well and good, if not, no problem!

Do an internship to know how to work professionally, see the environment, understand how to interact with people.

Start doing these things, and believe me,

Within 3 to 4 months, confidence will build up inside you,

and you'll realize, "Everything we thought was wrong!"

This thing takes a lot of practice, a lot of experience.

I hope you'll understand these little things.

I'm gonna continue this series.

There are still many topics that'll be helpful for you.

And...

I think these are very necessary.

Usually, I'd discuss it in a Livestream,

and I know it's much longer, many don't watch fully.

Lots of short videos are coming, lots of knowledge you'll get.

I hope you've loved the video, if yes please give it a like,

share it with your friends. And if you haven't subscribed, please do it too.

By the way many haven't subscribed yet, I know you haven't either!

Do it. Thank you! (😊)
