You have to build your brand to be able to charge this much. Without brand strength this isn't possible.

@@bobsimpson9228 Is there any masterclass to solve THIS problem?

$2500 is 4.5 times of my currency. I won't be able to cover my bills. If I could earn that much, I wouldn't be needing this in the first place

He didn't say it here but other times he's said that whenever he talks about raising rates that it's implied that you get good first

Look up pricing the client by the future and there one starts to realize value determines price. So for instance a local mom and pop pizza joint can't pay you the same way FedEx can if you did a job for them.

It can be tough at first. But if you stick at it I believe you can achieve it.

Thank you

See you inside

My pleasure!

One day you’ll join us.

You’re very welcome

My pleasure!

Thank you

Glad you think so!

I always recommend investing with help of an expert because of how volatile it is. I started making huge profits working with Dodai Neil a qualified financial analyst /FA. Since he started trading for me, I've been able to scale from $250K to $970K.

I want to invest aggressively, how can I connect with your mentor?

@@leonajorgen494 able to get in contact? Let’s connect you to a mentor. Thanks. Cheers.

Yes

Until you can let go you’ll be an army of one.

@@thefutur You're 100% right. I'm going to make it my mission to find somebody to teach everything I know about animation. Thank you for everything!

My own stats selling. We sell very high ticket bespoke services between $200-$600k on average. Clients are thoroughly vetted beforehand.

@@thefutur that you came back and answered this question from a month ago is savage. I'd ask where you learned the hustle but I was born and raised in the Bay so I already know. I suppose this makes sense. My early sales experience was hardcore phone, so 50 to 80 calls per hour. Obviously I'm not doing anything other than calling and closing. But now I'm running my own design agency (of one, for now) and like you suggested I'm not interested in every single client. Phones sales, clients needed to hit revenue markets, years in business and that's pretty much it. Sounds like I need stricter targeting criteria from a demographic I know has needs for my service and spend more time in quality pitches than high volume word play. Is that a fair takeaway? Thanks again Chris (or team).

The world is your market

short answer = no

Yeah unfortunately not for beginners, its for their "Pro" members.

It can be! You can apply the same principles but change the end number (10k to something like 2k). Just because you're starting the process of building a clientele doesn't mean that you still can't learn these lessons.

Business wise, yes. But only for those who have mastered a craft that provides value to their clients. If you suck at what you do, it's hard to get clients or grow your business. The next question is, how do you know you're good enough skill wise? That the issue isn't with your lack of skills, but something else? Business isn't just one skill. To be good at it, you need multiple skills...sigh. kinda frustrating. But he does explain them in his other videos so you get an idea of what you could be lacking.

@@MDigitalProductions For "pro" creators firstly, then members

I think Clubhouse is over Paul.

What is clubhouse?

Have you seen the rest of our videos?

@@thefutur yes I have, not all of them though, I take it there must be kne covering the topic, let me check. Thanks for the reply, I truly appreciate it. Keep up the phenomenal content.

Did I?

I'd be happy to under one condition. you get enough downloads first.

@@thefutur which number of downloads in enough for you? In case, I currently do not have it. I am going to keep working consistently until I get

​@@Adadinditv Just watched this video. Read the comments. Saw this! It instantly brought me over to your channel where I subscribed. Watched the most recent video -- It Is Not A Motivational Video (today's 5am) -- your comment/response here and that video there, just made me Team Ada Obama and I am going to help you get to the level you need to be so that The Futur will join you on your podcast. "Talking is cheap, doing is expensive". Let's DO it!

@Lucy Mwangi I m an Indian 😉

Haha 😂

That’s an option. Or nursing.

Yeah unfortunately its easier said than done. Really depends in what part of the world you live in. How the economy is going nowadays nobody is gonna want to pay 10 and 15 thousand for logos or video production.

@@quickpickle Agree, myself and many around me are really struggling in the Biden Economy. And Chris's assumption that you can just magically get these numbers without networks of rich people is almost cruel. It's easy to fool creatives who want hope that they'll make it.

I agree about the AI all this logo design and whatnot is going to be replaced by ai if it hasent been already. Ai will drop the prices drastically. on most digital design content. Its getting to the point where people who arent skilled in design or creative will be able to make awesome marketing campaigns for social media just by typing a few sentences.

@@quickpickle this is very true... and scary for creatives....... this dude in the video makes most his cash talking... ad doing workshops. true story. it annoys me thos template of people making money.... by telling you... how to make money.

Sorry that’s been your experience. Mine is different. Good luck.

@@thefutur really ? Lol …… is that why Chris is making cash going round doing expensive group sessions on how to be creative ? Lol. Plumbers make more than art directors in Sydney. Look it up.

In the "Freelancing Secrets" video that is a podcast discussion Chris explains why money is important for creatives/designers. As someone who's life has drastically changed since meeting Chris, I can say his message is true, he is helping people do what they love for a living. I can't speak for everyone but I can speak from my own experience, before meeting him I was working jobs I hated, now I am writing daily and making a living in what I love. In the Pro Group there is a lot of design and by listening to him talk I don't think he could ever *stop* being a designer. Just my 2 cents.

There’s nothing he hasn’t already covered in design. Have fun doing design for pennies on the street if you don’t know how to sell it properly.

@@FREEGEMS I'm not freelance, so your point is irrelevant. But, if you got into design to make money then I feel sorry for you.

Hope you have fun with the Starving Artist lifestyle! 😂

@@ryanschmidt8468 You’re not freelance but his audience very clearly is. His channel has always been focused towards that, go look at his bio and see what topics the channel focuses on. Nothing has changed. Regardless if you get into design for money or not, it’s an important and unavoidable factor in this space and people can only benefit from learning how to optimize it.
