today I've got six different ways that you can get graphic design clients right
now so tune in and follow along in today's video on how to get more graphic
design clients right now I know more money as a graphic designer
what is that people welcome back to cetera graphics the who a graphic design
content right here on YouTube so I'm gonna go along with six points today in
a quick-fire style of video on how to get more graphic design clients for your
graphic design career at the first one is when I've tried to adopt myself but
literally I have no time sometimes I feel like I need to like make a clade of
myself or cut myself into two so I have enough time to do all the projects that
I want but anyway the first one is a blog if you've got a portfolio website
or you've got a website in general start making a blog on graphic design related
topics so you might want to make a blog about logo design or the color theory in
graphic design and then spread that on social media and other places where it's
going to be shared among other people and designers this is gonna get you more
exposure and it's going to show that you actually know what you're talking about
in terms of graphic design so possible clients are going to be reassured by the
fact you have a graphic design blog because it looks like you know what
you're talking about hopefully you do but yeah the first point today is to set
up a blog related to graphic design
the second point how to get more graphic design clients right now is one that
I've actually shunned and ignored but I really should do it and I miss LinkedIn
I'm not really looking for clients right now but if you're looking for graphic
design clients I suggest that you get on LinkedIn and if you are LinkedIn I
suggest updating your profile and making up to scratch in this day and age many
many employers in the graphic design world will actually go to LinkedIn to
check you out before they hire you this is almost a standard procedure in
today's working world LinkedIn is a really highly professional social media
platform for entrepreneurs and business people alike so make sure you can busy
on LinkedIn people now the third point in today's video on how to get more
graphic design clients is word of mouth this is pretty self-explanatory if you
make a good piece of design for a client they're gonna tell other people they
know in the business world and their friends and family about you and your
graphic design work this has happened to me countless times where I've done a
project and I get email from someone else a few weeks later saying that they
spoke to that person and they liked my work and they need a design doing for
themselves but also what comes into play here is how you talk to your clients or
possible clients because he needs people like you needs to be warm and friendly
so people are going to suggest you by word of mouth but also on the flip side
if you're a negative person and your work isn't actually that great that word
of mouth is gonna go round as well so you really need to pay attention to how
you present yourself and the work that you put out because people do talk and
word does get around
now the fourth point today is actually hashtags in Twitter I've actually used
this quite a lot often going back in my design career is going to Twitter and in
the search of the top and hashtags searched like a logo a logo design or
even graphic design jobs or design jobs so for example if you hit up logo design
and look for all of the posts you're actually going to see people who want to
look a design and they're actually searching for possible graphic designers
through Twitter what you need to do then is you need to like either send them a
message in their newsfeed or you can actually add them like the tweet and
maybe they're gonna DM you what you then have to do is link your portfolio of
work to them because they're not gonna hire someone with no portfolio of work
when they've got many many many designers on Twitter to choose from
so again approach them in a warmer friendly manner and also showed them
your portfolio of work but yeah Twitter could be really useful for getting more
graphic design clients right now now this is a kind of controversial one but
a freelancer websites are getting bigger and bigger and bigger with each and
every single year there is actually one a freelance website that I do suggest
people go on use if they're trying to find some clients and they're just
starting out heck there's even some intermediate to like higher level
designers who do use people Bower and I actually used it last months to
get a really good design job because there are actually some good good gigs
in there if you check it out people per hour in my opinion is more professional
than say fiber there are some quite high budget projects in there if you look
around but again you do need a portfolio of work and you need experience to get
those jobs the only downside is that people out now take 20% of any project
that you work on say for example if you commissioned 500 dollars to design a
logo they're gonna take a hundred of those dollars that's outrageous that's
quite a lot I remember back in the day when I started out in there it was ten
percent commission and then he went up to 50 and I was 20 so what's next like
25 30 thousand
now lastly in today's video on how to get more graphic design clients right
now is something about approaching clients or possible clients in person
many many people businesses get emails every single day asking if they need
graphic designers or they need a logo etc etc if you actually go to these
people in person if you can make sure you have your portfolio on hand in a
physical form also it wouldn't hurt if you designed a brochure or leaflet
explaining who you are in a very creative and very original manner this
is gonna wow them and it's a good way to present yourself and your skills to a
potential client in person so yeah guys there was my video today of six
different ways that you can get more graphic design clients right now let me
