Really grateful for the time and effort you put in your channel, as a fresh architecture graduate, I'm struggling for getting a job and have been thinking how to spend my time other than reading and exercising. This video has truly inspired me and makes me want to get back on drawing and making my own art again,thank you so much

"Architects & interior designers are heavily underpaid"........ The truth has been spoken. Here in India architects get peanuts. Fresher architect gets around ₹12,000/- -15,000/- while in cities like Mumbai even minimum rent is ₹10,000/- per person.

I also grew up with a strong artistic upbringing as you did and I have sold my art at a very small scale. I think so should give Etsy a try.

As well as learning how you see chances and monetize them. I’m Not selling the exact same product but similar, art related. My sales are not the direct result only from this particular piece of information. It’s a combination of multiple very useful advices. I always appreciated people willing to share what’s the potential out there and always humble myself to listen. Because I know "One cannot learn what they think they already know" - Epictetus

More than the revenue (which is the goal) I find the process of building and achieving the goal much more striving. And for you to share, with all of us, your path to where you are now is, for me, more precious. I am grateful. PS: I have normal printer (of standard sizes), can you guide me on to which is the best paper for prints?

Hi Henry, Thank you for sharing your videos. I have a friend that has a small construction company. I make for him some construction plans for two decks (12'X12') and on small addition around (20'X12') the proposed of the drawings was pull theirs construction permit from the county. So, I get the construction permit for this small projects. Now some other carpenters are requesting me the same services. This can become a side income. I wondering, How should charge for this services ?. Plans + pulling permit. ( for this small project an Architect license is not required. ) Thank you.
@HenryGao Жыл бұрын
This is hard to advise on! My suggestion is to charge a project rate with profit baked in. Only you know how much time you need to complete a project, which is always more than you budget for, therefore having some wiggle room is recommended.
