I'm in the process of hiring a video editor right now and the main things I look for are examples of work and something that clearly shows they read my job description. That should be at the top of your proposal. You're likely already doing the right things, you just need to be extremely consistent and I know it sounds obvious, but work hard and put in more time looking for jobs than everyone else. One of the biggest advantages that I have is the fact that I developed a personal brand. Creating content (video or blog) around your skill set, building a website, etc. can make a huge difference and I plan to talk about this more in upcoming videos. If you've never considered creating content or building a personal brand, then I would highly recommend it.

Great video. As someone who's been struggling with the job market I've been looking for some solid advice on alternative income streams. The idea of going freelance is kind of intimidating for a newcomer but this has given me a few ideas for new approaches to try. There are a couple of topics I'd be interested in hearing about your opinions on. Firstly, I've heard it said that as a freelancer you should stick to a single field or niche on platforms like Upwork and Fiver. Would you say this is true? I have experience in programming and video editing that I would be interested in taking into the freelancing market. Am I better off sticking to one? Secondly, what's your advice on promotion and reaching different markets? Especially for things like selling digital products.
@JoshBurnsTech4 ай бұрын
Great questions! Yes, I would start with one platform and go all-in. Create a great profile, portfolio, set up an RSS feed for job alerts, learn how to write good proposals, etc. I actually started on Freelancer (dot com) back in 2015 before switching to Upwork in 2016 because of the higher demand and pay. My recommendation would be focusing on creating content. Otherwise, you would need to promote the product on a marketplace, run ads for it, etc. I'm a fan of building an audience on KZbin, social media, etc. and then eventually creating digital products after you have a reputation and credibility.
@GuyShrigley-pq8gs4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the response! Just to make sure I understand fully, you'd recommend just picking one field (either programming or editing) and focusing entirely on that?
