🎯 In 2021, I set the goal of making $200k and I shared everything along the way

💰 In total, I made $206,755

2x: This more than doubled my income

Then last year he earned another $200k despite taking 2 months off work.

Here’s a 10-minute video on Austin’s YouTube channel showing how he animates a logo in Adobe After Effects…

Austin tweets…

Your value is NOT yours to decide

All clients will not get the same value from animation.

Mama’s 🍕 ain’t gonna pay you $40k for a video. They sell pizza by the slice & have one location.

Shopify might though. Your video could garner thousands or millions of new customers.

Austin is speaking from experience here, as apparently 50% of his income last year came from just 3 big projects: $41k, $36k, $23k 💰

His advice for finding clients…

It’s a numbers game

What do you think would help you stay booked all year…

a. Reaching out to 1 or 2 studios in January. And that’s it?
b. Reaching out to 1 or 2 studios every week?

This is a rhetorical question 😜
