I Built 10 Income Streams in 2021 as a Designer - Here’s What I’ve Learnt

[@elle381]

I'm new here and have been binge watching your content. You've won my trust and even have me thinking this might be the way I enter tech. It makes me feel good to buy a course from you. This channel is so high value. Thank you for your generosity and transparency

[@Mizko]

Thank you Elle! Really appreciate. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it all.

[@goinginwards]

I can highly recommended the course!! Can’t find more value anywhere!!!

[@AmxrJ99]

Same!

[@aliciastrose2835]

Still applies in 2023 and utterly INSPIRING! WOWZA!!

[@abstraktprojekts7555]

Great video. I love to hear about your journey since you started your tube channel. “…have a Marathon mindset…” well said.

[@Mizko]

Thanks Abstrakt! I’ll be trying to share more of the journey on KZbin!

[@Kimardszn]

I love how you are so honest and transparent. Your content is always on POINT!

[@Mizko]

Thank you Ezeofor!

[@IsmaVisionn]

Wow, so much value in one Video. Thankyou Mizko for sharing this!

[@thireachreth]

Thanks for sharing this with us, Mizko. As a new UI/UX designer who just started, I rely only on salary, but now I think I will definitely take on more freelance work or referral program. There's a lot more room for improvements and you're like the extra push I needed. Happy new year.

[@Mizko]

Glad to hear! A new year, with a fresh perspective. Let’s get it.

[@madebyporter]

Great video dude!

[@joannahareza203]

Hi Mizko, Thank for this video. I absolutely love that you not only address your message to advanced and skilled designers but also emphasizes what to do before going any further. It is - as always - absolutely encouraging listening to you. Also, you are not only creating great content within your courses but an amazing user experience. Thank you!

[@Mizko]

Thank you Joanna! It really means a lot and this is the exact reason why I decided to make the major pivot. Being able to help and make an impact on individuals and improve their quality of life is priceless 🙏🏼

[@Junnanma]

Man, what a great video to watch on the last day of 2021! Thanks Mizko!

[@Mizko]

Thank you Junnan! Happy new year in 2 hours 🙏🏼

[@deejman]

Awesome, as always. Your cinematography skills are really coming along. Love your encouraging, inspiring, and positive attitude.

[@Mizko]

Thank you DJ! I enjoyed putting this video together. It was quite fun trying new filming techniques. Happy new year!

[@tasteofdalife.design]

Mizko, amazing video. Very educational and inspiring! Thanks for sharing. I especially liked the percentage breakdown bit, cause it helps to add extra context.

[@DesignwithCupi]

Thanks for the content Mizko! I am a UX designer from Hong Kong and just quit the consultancy firm after years of overtime working. I am planning to build up more experience, more income streams and test out all my random ideas in this year. Happy to know that you can speak some Cantonese! Your contents definitely give me courage and let me know this is realistic and doable ❤

Thanks so much for sharing! Awesome to see this insight and super valuable for folks looking to diversify their income.

[@Mizko]

Thanks Femke! Appreciate it. Hopefully it inspires others to start something new in 2022b

[@nuckylization]

I might be an ok designer, but I am ape when it comes to personal financial strategy. It’s great to take a look at income diversification from designer point of view. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@Mizko]

Thank you! Being in business for nearly 8 years now has taught me a lot about financial strategy. Definitely something I'm passionate about and happy to share more in 2022.

[@GuitarSlayer136]

The first 7 minutes cover under 10% of your income and consists of revenue streams that almost exclusively rely on already being successful to generate extra money. That seems like incredibly niche information that a vast majority of people won't be able to benefit from.

[@Mizko]

Thanks for feedback! My channel is intentionally focused on niching down because generalised info can be found with a Google search.

[@olajideakinpelu3495]

Thanks man for sharing!! :)

[@mohanr5001]

Hello sir, You are my all-time inspiration. I got a full-time UI/UX designer job, but there is an advantage and disadvantage as well. The disadvantage is I'm the only designer in my company how to learn from other designers in this situation. The advantage is I get to know the end to end process. I need your insights about this sir, Please do reply sir, I know you will be having a busy schedule. Thank you and happy New Year 🍾

[@Mizko]

Hey Mohan! Thank you. You will eventually grow into your career. If you are the only designer, it is always good to attend local meetups, paid and free design events, become a student of a design school and join their community. Plenty of ways to continue learning from others!

[@mohanr5001]

@@Mizko Thank you so much for your advice, sir. Will start meetups this year, at least something more than the previous year and learn new things. Once again thank you for replying in your busy schedule sir.

[@boxoffisa]

In this video I learn that have a beginning, I mean something to start with as an investment. Another is work hard and also smart. Adding on, be in an environment where there are opportunities. I am looking forward to how this can work for me while in Africa Uganda. I am Optimus of course. I hope all my failures one day can be as a stepping stone.

[@dikehremy5722]

Thank you Mizko, I'd love to learn more about freelancing from you.

[@Mizko]

I will be dropping a freelance course but in the meantime I’ll be sharing a lot more freelance videos on my channel too

[@dikehremy5722]

Thank you!

[@adekunleibrahim2600]

Thank you for the content shared. As this year start, can you please take into consideration protopie video. Thank you and do have a good time.

[@Mizko]

I already have a ProtoPie video :) search for it.

[@joshuamotx]

Thanks a lot for the inspiration

[@uxtogether]

Thank you!

[@xFZYEDITS]

Love it

[@Karakayaco]

Love your videos, really appreciated this huge effort and value. Here to see more 🔥 What is the difference between doing the same job as an agency and doing it as an individual? Is it just the project size and managing more people?

[@Mizko]

Thank you Burak! Really good question. You hit the nail on the head. The agency route is human capital intensive, with a lot of overhead. Also once you go down the full-scale agency path, you will realise it is VERY difficult to do anything else. Now running an agency is perfect for a lot of people, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I personally love working on different projects and making a direct impact on individuals, hence why I've been exploring new opportunities. Also I have to add, I couldn't be doing what I'm doing today (with the success) if I didn't go down the route of building my own agency etc. It taught me a lot and now I am lucky to share those learnings and experiences with others.

[@ZahidaZakaria]

@@Mizko thanks for sharing this gem man! Yes, running an agency is hard.

[@Mizko]

@@ZahidaZakaria Always!

[@Carroty_Peg]

Hi Mizko ! I am working on 4 apps, do I need to buy 4 The Designership Design Systems? :)

[@Mizko]

Definitely not :) just once is enough. We new version is coming out soon if you want to wait for it.

[@Carroty_Peg]

@@Mizko Oh, ok! Thank you for letting me know - I will wait for new update. Do you have a rough idea when it's out?

[@Mizko]

@@Carroty_Peg I'm expecting 2 extra weeks. We're finalizing our launch :) I'll make sure to announce it on KZbin.

[@namenl2205]

And how much did you make?

[@thaisboeira4000]

Thanks for this video Mizko! Insightful! Do agencies really charge from $40K per design project? 😱

[@Mizko]

100%! $40,000 would be on the lower end as well. There's obviously agencies that charge even more than me, and many charge less than me.

[@isaiasulevich]

Hi mate! I texted you on instagram after purchasing the design system. I did not get any answer yet. I would like to know how to add an image for example to a card. The grid lines are not sticky, so the components and objets don't snap to it (maybe I have to turn something on, idk). Maybe someone here can give me a hand with it too. Thanks mate!

[@Mizko]

Hey Isaias! Sorry I’ve been away for a few days over the holiday period and haven’t been checking Instagram. Could you drop me an email on mizko at thedesignership.com with screenshots. Thanks

[@isaiasulevich]

@@Mizko Sure! Thank you very much for the help and advice. I have been following you for a while and decided to step forward in UI/UX Design. I'm from Argentina, and have been studying on my own since 3 months, and now started create very my first project for my portfolio.

[@caesarzkn]

Very inspiring Mizko, thanks for always bring up insightful content. Just curious, I never doing project on client based, how can I find my first client?, do you have some tips that I can try?

[@Mizko]

Thanks Caesar! As mentioned, upwork is a great place to start. The quality of clients and freelancers have increased and it’s the best way to get started.

[@caesarzkn]

@@Mizko Been tryin on upwork, have some interview but still not having a deal. I’ll try harder. Thank you Mizko !

[@aliounet7009]

You're gonna write a book and I'm gonna buy it 😅

[@Mizko]

I told myself I’ll write a book when I hit $10M net worth. I’m a third of the way there. A lot to do still 😅

[@nghiflees]

Hi Mizko, new subscriber here, I just wanted to know your thoughts on which UX/UI design course I should take in Australia. I'm contemplating between UX design bootcamps like General Assembly, Academy Xi, or should I go with Google's UX design course?

[@wmckinno]

Great advice about mastering you skill before diversifying

[@Mizko]

It's so important to state that. Lots of people chase the money and end up getting no where.

[@pratikrajsah]

How can I become your trusted vendor? I really needs leads :(

[@Mizko]

To do trustworthy things! Focus on mastering your craft.
