a guy started doing photography and editing out of fun he had a lot of spark and curiosity for this he just loved how he could capture the movements in the most beautiful way possible show them to people get appreciation and even store them for life but the downfall of curiosity happened when the guy got to know that in order to earn from this he'll have to change the whole approach and he was ready all he wanted at that time was just money and little did he know that the fun that he's having right now while
doing the work that he loves will eventually start to fil he got the the money but he lost the Curiosity and the fun and now he's finding a way to get it back while earning money and that guy is me see I and I think most of the people have always been told that earning with your passion and doing it just for fun are two different things and you'll have to take two different approaches for them for example in order to earn from freelancing you'll have to learn commercial editing sales and marketing time management and
maybe do the things that you actually don't love while doing the thing for fun is just doing it for fun just experimenting and failing and honestly to an extent this is true I've also done freelancing and I've also done fun things with my shoot and edits and the fun things that I used to do were not demanded by any of the creators or the people that I was targeting at least not at that time and with the fun things I'm talking about the Cinematic edits and crazy transitions that I used to do and I still
aspire to do more of it but I don't do it right now because I'll have to make time for those things and I'm focusing on other things okay I'm I'm getting off the track I'll tell you my story later on but for now those are the fun things that I'm talking about so to penetrate the market you'll have to learn the commercial editing that is in demand so that you can make your name in the market and then get your fun projects later on in the life or in your career but I used to always
question and I do now too that can it not be fun and still make me money for which I think I found the answer and because most of the artists don't think about this on a deeper level they stay stuck at the same level and then blame the game there are certain levels that you need to cross in order to reach the level where you can do this thing of fun and still make money basically gamify this think of this as a game okay let me explain now if you know anything about competitive games you
must be knowing that a player has to grind hard to reach land tournaments and then at that level he's doing the fun things that probably he loves and still making money now consider the levels and your situation you are a player and you playing this game for fun you have skills but you don't even have a fraction of skills to compete at a land tournament and now all of a sudden you get to know that you can compete with the people in the game game and earn money wow now it feels like a very easy
task for you because you have been playing the game and you're very confident but as soon as you get into that competitive Lobby you feel like a complete Noob because you used to play in the fun Lobby and there was no hard competition and now that you have the competition that actually is hard you start to feel like a failure and question yourself and now at this moment you have two choices either blame the game and stay at the same level or skill up and level up yourself and adapt to the surroundings congratulations if you
choose chose the second one because that's where magic happens you level up learn required skills to compete in the tournament and if you have skilled up enough you'll eventually get to the top now with the struggling artist the problem is that they think their art is solely enough to make them money which I used to think too but unfortunately it's not how it works you'll have to learn other skills too to stand out in the market like sales marketing soft skills and so on and like in the game if you'll keep on scaling up you'll
get to the next level and then from that to the next level and eventually at the top and top can differ person to person but for me and most of the artists I know it's having fun while doing the work that you want to do which is your passion and still making ton of money so don't try to skip the levels in between if you will you'll stay a struggling artist and in the end for me at least this is fun the process of leveling up and I feel once I'll skill up enough that is
you also skill yourself up enough you'll eventually get those creative projects that you always wanted to work on you'll have fun you'll make ton of money and if not ton of money you'll be satisfied with the money that you'll earn through that creative project because you'll have genuine fun doing that that won't feel like work to you so please it's my request if you're an artist learn skills to Market your art because if you won't who else [Music] will ow
