Are You Ready to Freelance? Take the quiz (2 min)
Hey everyone,👋 I built a quick quiz that tells you where you actually stand when it comes to freelancing. 10 questions. 2 minutes. No fluff. It covers the stuff that really matters: pricing, positioning, savings, boundaries, network, client experience, and the one question most animators dodge entirely. At the end you get a clear breakdown of where you're strong and where the gaps are. Not a grade. Just clarity. 👉 Quiz "Are You Ready to Freelance" And if you're up for it, screenshot your result and drop it below. 😊 I'd love to see where this group lands. Could be a fun way to spot patterns and figure out what we tackle first inside the community.

Getting there...🦾
The #1 mistake freelance animators make with pricing
Most animators price by the hour or day rate. Here's why that's leaving money on the table: When you charge hourly, you're penalized for getting faster. The better you get, the less you earn per project. **Better approach: Value-based pricing** Price based on what the project is worth to the client, not how long it takes you. Example: - A 30-second product explainer might take you 3 days - But it could generate €50K in sales for the client - Charging €500/day = €1,500 - Charging based on value = €3,000-5,000 You're delivering the same outcome. The only difference is how you frame the price. I'll cover this in Module 6 of the course. But wanted to share this now because it's the fastest way to increase your income. Questions? Drop them below.👇

@Philippe Duvin ah yes. Familiiar with the imposter syndrome myself. I have also found personally that daily/hourly rates doesn't make sense (at least for me) because in most cases the planned timeline changes. For example, clients takes longer with feedback than initally agreed or you might experience a technical issue. Or a task you thought might take you only 2 hours took you 4 hours instead and then you undercharged your client. It's like @Christoffer Endresen said it creates uncertainty.
