Could you consider recommending good freelance websites? Thanks.
when youre talking about freelance, did you use a specific site or is it more like a personal relation type of clients?
The endcard is short, I almost missed the pass to your next video.
thanks man
Video is great .. it gives a good insight on costing of a project ..
could you do one over the timing of a project? it will be really helpful ..
I really appreciate how transparent you are.
Thank you Big Daddy
@@Smeaf Not everyone can do this brother ❤️
Bro he's opaque 🤓
Stop lying he aint a png he is a 3d model with a contiousness🤓, ok maybe the border around his body is transparent..
But I could see him 🥺
It's a breath of fresh air to see such an open and honest video instead of the "Make a $1000 a day with blender today" type of content out there. I really appreciate it, and I think most people feel the same.
Thanks :)
I'm glad it's been received so kindly
very true
It is funny how, according to a lot of TH-camrs, teaching people 3d is more profitable than actually doing 3d.
Just like FOREX
I mean that seems to be Everything these days. You see all kinds of TH-camrs making video about how this or that side hustle can make you thousands and you can learn how in their several hundred dollar course.
It doesn't take much to see that these people are raking in their profit from selling courses and not the side hustle.
Really appreciate the transparency here! Snapshots like this are so useful for other creators
I’m glad I can provide it! I wish more creators were comfortable doing stuff like this.
Rising tides lift all ships 🔥🙏
Besides the killer contents, can we all appreciate the EDITS of all Smeaf videos? The humor, the transition, the MEmEs, the sound effects. Each one of them is a masterpiece.
Got me tearing up over here 🥹
Thankyou honestly
@@Smeaf THANK YOU!!
About that... I think it depends cause for me these memes are quite disturbing
@@hookedj7184 i don't think the memes are disturbing, BUT the memes need to relate to the next topic or current topic he is talking about, some of the memes he placed in the video are just for the sake of putting it but some a good additions.
@@the7jinn Well, can't disagree.
The memes might be usefull for some people who can't concentrate too long. I heard that nowadays a lot of people have attention deficit disorder because of social media and other stuff. Maybe such short video pauses might help them to focus
The video was very informative, very detailed (without being boring), the edits were very good and the thumbnail is very good too! Amazing content
Saw quite a few videos on the subject, none were this transparent and personal. Extremely helpful!
the way you lead the viewer into the next video is sooooo good. That's something a lot of channels miss out on but fr I ended up watching you for an hour straight because of that and absolutely love your content. Super informative and engaging. Keep it going bro! I'm new to 3d but loving the journey so far. super excited for what I can create. Thanks a ton and subbed!
Thank you! I'm so glad you get value from what I do
Thanks for being so transparent with your history. It's enlightening to see your journey and the lessons you learned along the way.
I really appreciate you posting this - I'm in the same boat, especially as a new dad. Being fortunate and actually having paternity leave has really shown me that I loathe my day job, I just have this overwhelming feeling of how meaningless it is. I really enjoy working in Blender and know that I can make it my full time gig so that not only do I have more time with my family, but, when I am working, I actually enjoy it.
I've been taking some cues from your videos already, especially around sound design, and really look forward to learning more. I'm genuinely happy for you to have made it and wish you the best going forward!
Thank you!
Yes, once you get a few weeks or months away from a full time job, looking back on it is almost always depressing 😅(At least, if it's a job you despise)
Keep going with your YT channel man, I like the direction it's headed, even from the few short videos I've watched!
@@Smeaf Thank you very much :)
man, its so nice actually seeing all of this in reality and understanding more of the world. I'm new to blender and this is definitely inspiring. glad to have discovered you!
Like how you say I not to flex but just to have someone who speaks about it , really appreciate
Haven’t slept for 2 days from stress. This gave me hope. Thanks Smeaf
Love your confidence with showing personal information! This helped me a lot, thanks :D
im happy i found this video i am new to the blender stuff but not a armature, im glad you shared this info with us and the effort you put into it. i hope you grow and prosper on your venture.
Great video! I appreciate you being so open about your revenue streams! You also put such a fantastic effort into making your videos and make them so enjoyable as well as informative to watch!
As a small artist creator and this vid helped me so much!! Thank you for sharing this content
such a gold video man!!
what are you doing here Ducky hhhh just kidding
@@brahimlancas8960 What are YOU doing here
Thanks ducky! 🔥🙏 a LOT of effort went into this one 😅
The honesty is what makes this video great
I picked up blender cause I was wanting to get better in Premiere Pro and After Effects again and while watching AE Tutorials I’m so glad I ran into blender. It’s so much fun yet so challenging but that’s why I love it. Keeping an open mind and finding ways on how I can apply this amazing skill with photography and videography. I’m excited to see where Blender will take me. Thanks for the video keep the great work
What program would you recommand first
for 3d art, blender has an easier learning curve than most
"Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permitteth? He knoweth What (appeareth to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they encompass Aught of his knowledge Except as He willeth. His throne doth extend Over the heavens And on earth, and He feeleth No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)."
[Surah al-Baqarah 2: 255]
Thank you Smeaf, I appreciate everything you do.
I love your way Pal. 🎉 congratulations on your hard work!
I don’t make money directly from working in Blender, but I’ve been able to find ways to incorporate it into my work to increase the value of the product itself.
My brother and I own and operate a recording company that handles anything from record albums, commercial jingles, voice overs, podcasts, etc. Right now we are hosting and producing a podcast for a client (which debuts tomorrow and we’re super excited [❗️]), and part of what we are doing is creating highlight clips to go on social media, and I’ve been using Blender to create audio visualizers for the posts using geometry nodes. It’s been very cool to be able to implement my growing love and passion for Blender into my main work field, when at first I couldn’t see how I could possibly use a 3D Modeling/VFX program in conjunction with all the audio work I do.
In the future, I’m hoping to expand it to be able to do VFX in music videos for clients, to really elevate what we’re able to offer in the cool space that we have. I’m definitely not there yet, but even simple background replacement would open up a whole world of possibilities.
I do can appreciate the transparency here and learnt a thing or two. Thank you...
This is the Best I've seen all over TH-cam and I really appreciate this awesome guy, thank you sir
Very transparent, quite noble. Thank you for sharing!!!! ✌️
Thanks for thhe transparency man really needed it
Good for you, well done and I enjoy your content for the good info and sometimes funny edits.
Two important keyword here, guarantee and efforts. Nothing is guaranteed but death, and you usually (like nearly always) reap what you sow. Keep up the work allz, keep taking care of business.

Bro, I absolutely love ur style! Thank u for all of the insight this inspires me
I'm at the start of my freelance career. I studied 3D for 4 years now and these last year I started working for some clients. It is hard and lot of them underestimate the effort I put in each single work. The first months were terrible, now hopefully I've found a good client. It is a starting point but still not enough. Gonna keep pushing harder and harder and make this the full time jobs I dream. You inspire me so much with your videos and your tips man, thank you 💪
What sort of Freelance work do you do for 3D?
@@amrishpatel3501 mostly digital sculpting for 3d printing
how is it going now I am curious, hope all is good. I am getting into blender for a hobby and in hopes for it to lead to more creativity since my day job is alright.@@leatherslipper3017
You are really honest no other youtuber would ever reveal his own revenue.God bless you
I learned 3D on the job and made $40k/yr starting out. After 5 years I went freelance and continued making around $40-50k/yr.
Where did you work? Currently trying to find a job in this field right now. Thanks!
@@Crazystunts4190 I used to work at a video production company in North Texas. I still do some freelance work for them.
@@justsomeguy1074 awesome, was it remote?
@@Crazystunts4190 I worked on site for 5 years then it was remote after that.
Oh ok nice, any chance u could send me the name so I could look into it a little more? You don’t have to post it in here if u don’t want to, but email maybe?
Really, This is what we need on TH-cam the Honest Informative Videos......Keep it Up bruhhhhh
This is the first "Money with Blender" video I've seen that feels honest and helpful.
Wow, this has been SUPER inspiring. Thank you!
I love your style in editing bro keep up the great vids love them
I've been pulling through 4 videos and I still will go to next video that you suggested. What a Man. You overpowered my "lazy to watch" mind.
your channel is so great, keep the vids coming!
Will do Lazy Bart!
Great video man, I am in the exact same boat. 3D artist based in Australia, and thanks to TH-cam and Skillshare, I have quite my day job. BUT, It has not come easy, there are many many times I almost gave up, especially at the start, it really takes determination to get traction, so I totally respect what you have done.
Oh shid, Hey Pixxo!
Yeah Skillshare was definitely the vehicle that allowed me to quit my day job and pursue this 3D thing full time.
It's absolutely tough, and way easier if you gradually transition to it. I made the mistake of hard pivoting and having to go back to one of my old full time jobs because I wasn't making ends meet.
Thanks for the lovely comment
@@Smeaf Thanks man. Im currently creating a Discord server for Blender TH-camrs, I really want to bring that community of teachers together a bit more. There are alrady a few of us on there now, but if you want, I can send you the Invite link? cheers man
@@PIXXO3D yeah for sure

Thanks, bro, you encourage us to learn commercial 3D, especially camera and dynamics shots also digital marketing is an important part to sell our service to the next level!
It's my pleasure
Man this was inspiring. As far as Blender vids go; yours are some of - if not - the best. Not only are they informative but they’re also entertaining. Your music choice is always spot on (like when you’re showing the graph of income for TH-cam - that was the perfect song choice haha). Also you incorporate memes in a way that adds to the video rather than simply utilizing a meme for meme’s sake and making a video more exasperating than anything. Congrats on the ever growing success and I wish you many many more! Glad I can be a Smeaf-hipster.
This is a lovely comment, thank you!
for freelance he had years of dedicated and butt sweating practice, for skillshare it may not work for me as ia m not a native english speaker with good presentation or english skills, for youtube it is same as above and you should be apt in video editing, thumbnail designing, good engaging videos for your audience
great video! Just found your channel a few days ago, and I love how concise and to the point yet entertaining your vids are. I've been freelancing on and off in my spare time for a while now, and it's still hard for me to price my work, clients I've worked with so far through some freelancing sites like upwork have been happy with my work, but I still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. I would love to hear more from you on that topic in a future video ;)
Keep up the good work, you're one of the fav blender youtubers out there!
Thank you so much!
I highly recommend checking out this video from the Futur --> th-cam.com/video/aNu000cQZmU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheFutur
It's what cemented the mindset shift that allowed me to charge WAY more with Freelance work
I'll make a video about this stuff with the ongoing series of 'Making Money With Blender' but it'll be down the line.
@@Smeaf Awesome reccomendation, I'll definitely check it out :)
Looking forward to more from you too :)
Awesome ! Your Channel is a big inspiration for me !!!
With freelancing ive been struggling to find clients..
You are gold my man, keep going king
My new favorite Blender channel on TH-cam. Wish you all the best!
Thanks!
You deserve more. I hope you'd get more. 🙏 Appreciate for honesty.
Really Appreciate this video! It inspires.
Brilliant and straight to the point advice.
Thank you so much. You give me more hope and courage that blender it worth sticking with
Thankyou so much for this video! It's definitely going to keep me motivated on my youtube journey! :)
I'm so glad!
I swear to God if you just model a bunch of money I'm going to shit my pants
😂
@@Smeaf Do it
I made 3d Ads with Blender. Having a friend working in Marketing is a neccesary. As long as it's beautiful, nobody gives a crap about which sofware you want.
TH-cam recommended me one of your videos. You seem like a good dude. I'm pretty sure your TH-cam revenue will 100x soon 👍 keep it up
Awesome insight and breakdown :) Cheers from Aotearoa!
You are awesome SMEAF. I love you!!
I like everything about your videos (especially this one): your are speaking calm and in a comfortable pace to listen to (which is important for me as an non native english speaker), your voice to background music volume ratio is perfect, your explanations are easy to follow and on point, you are very open and direct and the most important of all: your use of memes!
I wanted to get into this industry since i was 16 but back then in my country it was not possible. TH-cam was merely a year old and there were no free tools out there... so I had to go a different way. But a lot has changed over the years and I really want to pursuit this carreer now. Modern technology and the internet makes it possible.
Thank you for helping me and others who just started their journey!
You are very welcome!
I'm glad I can be of help and hopefully inspired you to start on this path of creating a life you enjoy!
i have no idea but i love this guy's mindset
The work he puts into these videos is amazing.
Thank you for your transparency bro
this is real talk! thanks for sharing Smeaf :)
bro i love your transparancy
love the memes 😂 I'm literally learning while having fun
This doesn't just apply to blender, it applies to any skill you have. Love it💪🏾❤
Really appreciate your honesty,most of people don't share that knowledge
I appreciate that!
How much have you made so far this year just from freelancing? Can you link your upwork?
I have never rewinded a video this much before 😂, in love with your channel and everything you do ♥️
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Give this man a trophy for honesty
Great video with a lot of useful information
Especially good to hear you're happy with how you're making a living!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!🥰
your videos make me very happy.
your video is just like chef sharing their secret recipe, i really appreciate this
Amazing sharing 😍. Highly appreciated! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome video, hope to see bigger growth
This man is hilarious 😂😂😂the placing and timing of the memes are perfect
At the end of your video, you recommend another video of yours, then I went to watch it and you recommend watching this video at the end of that video, then I got caught in a loop! 🙂
I loved how professionally yet unprofessionally this was made! The graphics and movement were gorgeous, but I had to pause and rewind the video at least five times because I was laughing so hard at the memes! (Not that I’m complaining!) Good way to get more watch time and click throughs I guess 😆
Lol, I just enjoy slapping memes all over the place
Only TH-camR, who showed real income. Salute to your honesty sir. 😇
thank you for this video it's very much in-depth and you shared a lot usefull info
I have a little question. For freelancing, how are you advertising yourself? How do you even get offers to begin with?
Wow! Awesome video - thanks so much! 👍👍
smeaf thanks for this,love from south africa!
Thank you for the transparency. I didn't know that anyone could do courses on skillshare so now I'm curious ! Also I'm starting to think about what content I can do on youtube. Good video !
Yes, I encourage you to go for it!
Your video really inspiring me... Thank you for sharing❤
This is fantastic, thanks heaps 😁
Thanks for this awesome and honest video bro. U got a subscriber. 😀🙌🏻
Thanks man!
As soon as you said Lonely hard and challenging i was hooked and dropped a like on the video for you.
Great video. Good luck!
Interesting overview thank you for sharing.
Love your video… great content!
This is good. I would say within my experience of using blender professionally is the interaction you have with other artists. If you’re engaging and receptive, the chances of others wanting to work with you or pass on work to you goes up.
Thankyou my friend it helped a lot❤
Super cool & inspiring!
Great video 👍🏿 that was super informative
Thank you for sharing that info with us.
Ty bro for that information exist & ty 4 sharing it\m/
3D explicit content is where the money is at
Really Appreciate this video ♥️🔥
I appreciate you!
keep making videos like this, I'm very entertained to see your videos. 💯
Thank you, I will!
Love this ... Very sincere
