Why Online Content Become Viral?

Have you ever wondered why online content catches so much attention nowadays? The best answer I can give you is, compare a live show of Coldplay in a football stadium to a live performance of them in a bar. Regardless of their fame, the room people have to gather around is the difference. Now see how many views they get the same live show posting online on Youtube. The difference has become the room they create around them for the audience to reach them.

In my opinion, rather than trying to create fame, create space for your audience to gather around and enjoy your creations. Keep doing what you love!

Freelancers mostly work alone or work with another few partners. When building a sustainable freelance career, I must say, yes freelance life is hard if your way of living is too complex and luxury. If you’re up to freelancing, there are few things that you should keep in your mind to be successful and avoid making your freelance life hard.

01. Simple lifestyle

Remember, having a simple lifestyle is important as a freelancer. When you do not need much to maintain yourself, it becomes easier to grow your freelance business fast, because every saving could become gold to reinvest on your freelance business or any other investment plans. Also, make the best out of the things you buy, it could be the things that are related to your business like a computer, phone etc. or even commodities like a pair of shoes, cloths etc. Give them proper care and they will last long and you won’t be needing to buy them more frequently. Also, remember that enjoying simple things in your life and making it a habit will not only eases your freelance life but also makes it easier to please yourself at a glance.

02. Improving Skills Continuously

It’s wise to improve your skills even if you think you’re really good at something. Ever evolving technologies always outdates your skills fast and if you don’t adapt to it, you’ll become an old fart regardless whatever your age suggests. It’s a continuous process since learning never ends. Always be open to grab new things and improve your skills upon it. Growing new skills and improving the skills you already have, will reserve a place for yourself in freelancing.

03. Self Confidence

Whatever you do physically, the most important part is the self-confidence. Without effectively putting your mind to what you do, you can never achieve what you envision. Make sure that you follow positive people and positive thoughts. As we now use social media more often, it is also a good practice to avoid following negativity on them too. Try to talk to yourself positively and be friendly as much as you can since you might not realize that the only person whom will be with you no matter what, is yourself. Remember, people with unbreakable confidence don’t live in the dark, they always follow the light.

04. Work Smart Instead of Hard

This is where most people miss the trick. It is okay to work hard but only working hard doesn’t get you to where you want to be. Even a food tastes good with a pinch of salt or while driving, smart gear changing makes the ride smooth. It is now apparent that you need good combinations to create something awesome. So, let’s add some smartness into your hard working routine which will make it less exhausting and more rewarding.

06. Self-Marketing

When you’re a freelancer, you’re mostly on your own. Will need to plan your marketing as well as improving on what you do. It doesn’t do any justice to your talent and skills, if you do not market them well enough. Try developing strategies, follow marketing experts and create some solid plans to increase your visibility to possible clients. If it’s hard to do things on your own there are freelance marketing experts who works exactly like you. Find them and use their expertise as well. It takes time, but patience and smart thinking will prove its worth.

05. Savings and Financial Control

Saving and financial control is very an important part when you’re running a freelance business or any business. Always be aware of the incomes and expenditures and keep track on those. Yes it’s boring and frustrating, but when you create goals for savings, it will become fun and interesting. For all the savings, plan something in your life and give some meaning to the money you earn. This will surely encourage you to keep a proper income and expenditure balance and get to your goals very fast and efficiently.

06. Diversify Your Income Streams

Not clinging to a single income stream is quite important as a freelancer since, your income basically varies in each month. Diversifying your income streams gives you the freedom to explore more opportunities or even demand your value of your products or services. I would suggest you to give some thoughts on creating passive income streams. As graphic designer, you could sell digital products, provide brand consultations, create online content on platforms like YouTube, writing blogs, which could bring in ad revenue etc. Also, think about investing the money you save on different things like stock market, index funds or even collaborating on projects where you think they have a possibility of success. As Warren Buffet said, “it’s wise not to put all eggs in one basket”.

In summary, you’re freelancing life is hard only as hard as you make it. If you just keep these simple steps in your mind and make it a habit, surely no one could stop you being successful. Okay, enough talk, let’s DANCE!

Top 4 Ways to Generate Creative Ideas

Leave a Comment / Creative Blog /
Aren’t you used to watch clouds in the sky and imagine different things from their shapes but sometimes other people don’t see the same in that. Isn’t it creative thinking or generating new ideas. So there are methods you can use to be creative and don’t think there is just one method, you can create your own method too since in creativity there are no boundaries or hard and fast rules to follow.

01. Patience and Observation

Most people fail to find their inner peace while trying to be creative. Remember, you can never force creativity in you. You can only wait to be creative or provide catalysts to your thoughts, to be creative. It always bound to your emotions and thoughts, therefore you will explore yourself in the pursuit of creativity. Patiently observing things around you, and awakening your curiosity to explore more in what you’re doing, will surely open new perspectives. Please remember, this is something you need to practice everyday since most people are naturally not used to it. Few weeks of practice, makes it a habit. You can read the Atomic Habits book where I found it very helpful and at the same time it’s a practical guidance to your process of work. If you’re not much of a reader, you can watch the following video on youtube which gives a summery of it.

02. Start Simple

It’s pretty easy to start simple. Don’t think complex things starts as complex, since every complexity based on simplicity. When you design or creating something new, always start with the things that are most relatable to you, because as a creative you shouldn’t try to be someone else but yourself. Example: think of a cat, it can be any cat, what you imagine will be the cat you saw recently, maybe a real one or maybe a cartoon or something. So everybody is different from each other and allow yourself to be different from others as per your imagination and don’t forget, everything starts simple and simplicity creates magic.

03. Sketch Your Idea

Maybe you’re creating a piece of art, maybe creating a software or making something tangible like sculpture. Be anything, first make sure you sketch out your process and make plans for your each step. This always save time, effort and keep your process from becoming complex. See… simplicity avoids complexity.

04. Keep on Creating

Finally, keep on creating and stop being afraid to try something. If you’re listening to the haters, you’ll never be a creative person. Haters always hate. They always left un-noticed in the world. The only people get noticed will be the creatives, and to be a creative, let’s leave the haters behind. Keep on creating, never give up!
