Advice needed

I completely understand where you're at. Having a portfolio as a creative is vital. Top priority is to be able to provide evidence to a client that you can create quality work. Following ability, communication and time-management are also key to success.

I would focus on one specific profession and work hard to get good at that one task. Whatever you feel you're most passionate about. If you don't have enough proof of work, I would offer to do work for free to build a portfolio.

Once you're at the stage where you feel you can charge for your work, and can provide a professional service I would check out Fiverr or UpWork.

That said, if money bad enough to impede on your quality of life, get a regular job (in anything), and work on your creative portfolio in your spare time.

If you need money right away, the first thing you should do
is assess your marketable skills. What can you do today to
earn some quick cash. Write this in a notebook or make a
list in Word.

Get creative, contact local businesses and offer them video
services or whatever is in demand. Most brick and mortar
shops still don't have websites, offer them that. Offer them
online ordering systems, reservation systems, or whatever.
Set them up with things that have a monthly fee.

Check the freelance sites mentioned above to see what
others are doing. Find something that is not too saturated
and setup an account. Advertise your skills on CraigsList.

3D work would seem to be in demand but you will need to
see for yourself. If not, then do something else like virtual
assistant or WordPress just to get some work right now.

Once you are not so financially strapped you can figure
out how to generate passive income for yourself so that
you have money flowing to you all the time in the future.

If you take action and do some of the things I mentioned,
I guarantee that you will have some money in a couple
of weeks.

You can also add yourself on Fiverr.

The more places you add yourself too to find clients, the more chances you have lending your first and new customers.

I'm here for the comments and advice. I need it too

Hey mate,
The truth is whatever you set your mind to do, and you keep at it, you will get results.
This ain't no motivation speaker.
I've done virtually everything online to make money, I made some money doing some and wasted money doing others.
So far, the simplest of them all is selling traffic in any format.
You get paid upfront for selling clicks whether a sale is made or not.
I do not actively do this anymore since I started buying established businesses with no money down...
Selling clicks can give you 5k monthly passively,...
look into it

Why not start a blog about motion graphics and 3d architectural design?

Hi everyone, thanks for the solid advice, I've been able to construct something valuable out of it. Meanwhile , I'm still applying for jobs and still optimistic on getting work. Last week, I met someone online who needed a motion graphics video, I pitched my portfolio, they liked it and I got paid $75 for a 30 sec animation, not much but it bought some groceries. After the advice I got from this awesome forum, I pondered for a bit and came to some conclusions.

I decided to narrow my focus on getting clients who need motion graphic videos on a monthly basis. To do this I came up with some strategies to focus more on marketing to get more exposure such as;

1. Join some facebook digital marketing groups and post motion graphic video adverts every week and see if some marketers contact me for regular work.

2. Open a TikTok account where I post inspirational motion graphic video quotes daily and advertise my service on my bio
(Since I started, I've been getting 150 views daily on the average and new followers daily)

3. Start a Tumblr Travel & Food blog and curate videos from YouTube & Dailymotion, add the same video advert I post on Facebook groups to this blog and see if my viewers contact me for video services

4. Start an architecture blog, where I make 3d architectural exterior videos weekly and see if I get Patreons that want access to the 3d files

That's the update for now. These ideas are based on things I enjoy doing without noticing time fly by, they are baby steps to get me to earn $500 and more monthly and your advice is still needed thank you

So your service could be offered on platforms like...

Upwork
Freelancer
Fiver

If you offer your services on Upwork you'll be able to get leads that way for people looking for animation services or even video graphics services, can build up a good customer base that way.

Also work on a blog answering questions within the industry that people are asking, best way to find out is join up so forums within the industry and see what questions people are asking then simply search those questions in google and see what other people have written about and see if you can answer those questions better or in more detail.

Then start advertising affiliate products and banners on your blog to generate some income will take a little time with the blog but long term its worth it.

Hope that helps, but check out upwork
