    Number 6 so real! The "send me an email" "send me a proposal" is a dead giveaway that they're telling you to go away.. One way that I used to counter that before was to set up expectations at the start of the call to prevent this. Something like "If we both don't say no to each other, we have to agree on a next step, are you good with that?" Nothing better than taking that head on instead of dealing with the objection later in the call!

    Please make a video talking about how you get clients once you've established your niche and portfolio. For instance a freelancer launches with 7 web design concepts for a target market, how do they talk to the right person to make the sale? Cold emails? Spray and pray?

    Hey Adrian, I am an amateur web designer. Do you have any ideas on where and how to start learning more advanced/intermediate web and graphic design? It seems to me that your courses and level of expertise are way beyond me at the moment, but I'm really inspired by what you're doing, and the things you're saying really resonate with me.

    • @hellobont
      @hellobont  21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey, thanks man! Glad the content resonates with you. For more beginner level tutorials, there's a ton of content here on TH-cam. I would pick one main source of truth you resonate with and stick to that. Let me know if you any more specific questions, "learning graphic and web design" is a broad topic so it's difficult to answer 😅

      ​@@hellobont Forgive my late response. I may have been too quick to call myself an amateur because I've completed a UI/UX course and have almost landed a job a few times. However, I eventually realized that UI/UX wasn't 100% my passion.
      This is where web design comes in, as it aligns more with my interest in aesthetics and artistic touch. I am proficient in Figma, but concepts like Typography and the Golden Ratio grid are still somewhat mysterious to me.
      Your work is pretty amazing so maybe I'll be more direct and ask if you could advise someone, ormaybe it could even be yourself if only you work with people who don't really understand what they want yet!

    Sorry, but offer webdesign just for one industry, the burnout will come in rocket speed.
