About this Course
Own your time. Be your own boss and make a living doing what you love.
So, you have probably taken some courses here at 2D Animation 101 (cheers and thank you so much for your support!), and if you are dedicated, then you have perfected a skill, or are on your way to do so.
Well. Now what?
I see 2 options:
1. Keep those skills as a hobby.
Or... (drum roll please...)
2. Make a living with it.
The typical scenario is that, whenever you learn a new skill that you really enjoy, like drawing, storyboarding, animating, doing motion graphics, animated presentations, animated typography, etc. Anyway, whenever you find that thing you enjoy doing, people around you say: “that’s nice, now, why don’t you go out and get a real job?”
And so, you go out and find a job at an office doing something you don’t like, so you can earn a living.
And then, you enjoy your free time perfecting your skills.
Vacation time? Perfect! Now you can do more of what you love.
This is the normal lifestyle of most Americans.
Can’t you do something about it? What if there was a way to earn some money with your skills? What if you didn’t need vacations because you enjoyed the whole year doing what you love and making a living?
Pablo Picasso once said: “Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time”.
So. You can have a dichotomy in your life and keep those skills as a hobby, or you can find ways to make a living with it.
Confucius, the ancient Chinese philosopher, said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”.
Interesting...
If you decided to do what you love and make a living with it, you could do one of 2 things:
1. Find a job in which you can get paid doing what you love
Or.
2. Work as a freelancer,
If you are a 2D animator, and are really good at it, you can get hired and get a salary of around $30K a year. And after some years of experience you can double that to $60K a year. And if you keep at it for decades, you can get to $100K a year.
The advantage is that you get paid doing what you love. But there is a catch... your time, your precious time, is not yours. Your time will now belong to your boss. She will decide when you work, when you have vacations, how much you will earn and what projects to work on.
If you have no problem with that, then this is the lifestyle you need to pursue.
But chances are, that if you are reading this, you are a Millennial, and you prefer the idea of owning your own time, being your own boss, deciding how much to earn per month, and work anywhere, at any time.
This is the lifestyle of a successful freelancer.
But for this lifestyle, there is also a catch. You need to promote yourself, do market research, handle customer service, deal with angry customers, manage your finances, and learn about marketing, so you can get people to know about your services.
Yes. With great power comes great responsibility.
If you decide to make a living doing what you love, but at the same time, be your own boss and own your precious time, then, this course can help you.
