But there're also some websites that provide the job for you, they became the bridge for the artist and the client and the job they listed also not that complicated. The pay isn't much tbh but it's an option to start with.

Compared to the other videos I've found on making money as a freelance artist, this one is packed with useful advice. Thank you so much!

Great value here Jesse! I agree with the niche spectrum a lot. I myself was challenging whether to go for architecture or product. I'm still figuring out, but with proper mindset

Solid advice, thanks! I am starting out as a freelance software developer. What you're saying rings very true for my field as well like making it practical for the client and specializing in a certain niche area.

Congratulations Jesse. Always admired your work. I really felt you were talking to me, about me. You're 100% spot on with everything! This video is chronically underrated for no reason.

Analysis paralysis is a great way to describe how I used to be. Great video and content in general! Keep it up!

This is a nice simple intro for those trying to start freelancing and don't know quite where to start. Thanks so much!

Your modeling is really on point. Have you thought of perhaps making a modeling course, not for beginners but for something more advanced like a product that later then breaks up into pieces (like the phone animation)? Love the format of your courses, getting that first W for momentum. Most ppl putting out courses don't even know how to teach properly. Big ups to you brother!

Jesse, when I watched your video about yourself, explaining that you have already worked for VFX company, I thought why you even left? But then, when you show what you've actually done (there was some scene with air jets and explosions, etc) I was shocked... and I thought. Damn it! If he can do this, than he really don't need anyone to tell him what to do, because he have such knowledge, experience and specialty and definitely can choose by himself what to do. At the end, the most important thing is to do what we love and if such work is paying our bills, than... that's it! :) But unfortunately not all of us have that luck. Sometimes we must do even most stupid work, just because we HAVE to pay our bills. Jesse, don't mind me if I ask, but where do you find your jobs mostly? Upwork? Something like that? You're pretty famous and I'm guessing people are contacting you now directly, but what about before? I would really love to hear more from you on this topic. And yes, there's so much to be told :) Take care.

Thank you for this video... It's helps alot...

This is an excellent video for beginners in every industry, not just for 3D. As someone who struggled with perfectionism, I found myself unable to accomplish much, while others with less knowledge were making much more money. If you have the enough necessary skills, don't hesitate to apply for jobs. You don't need to be a professional to start. Perhaps perfectionism can be addressed gradually, rather than from the beginning.

Inspirational video, thanks

What took me years to understand is there are clients for every budget and skill level. The top artists you admire are already expensive and booked, meaning they actually aren't your competition (yet). You don't have to be the best to get clients, you just have to show your current skills and be available. Hope that helps

Invest at least $500. And invest around $1000 a month marketing yourself. When your a “freelancer”, you need to create a small business so people can take your work more seriously. I’d rather hire an “average” artist with a professional representation than to hire an “above avg” artist with a Vimeo demo reel
