As we draw 2024 to a close, I thought a Q&A episode would be a nice way to end the year on the podcast. I get questions all the time about specific problems that motion designers face when running their businesses. So, the chances are that you're facing these problems, too. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how you could run a successful subscription-based motion design business, my opinions on charging for your project files and how much time you should actually be spending on outreach. In this episode, I cover:- How to justify long timelines to clients- How to stand out amongst other motion designers- Should you charge for project files?- How to build a profitable subscription-based motion design business- How to find time and motivation for business tasks- How to write the best copy for LinkedIn- How much time you should be spending on outreach Links Mentioned:Sign up to our email list hereSubmit a question hereDownload our Vivid Vision ExerciseDownload our Social Media Guide 2.0 📲Joe Walker: LinkedInHemmingway App*Speechify*Grammarly(Any links above marked with a * are affiliate links.
