Title: "The Futur - The Dream Project Workshop - Stephanie Owens"
Link: https://thefutur.com/event/the-dream-project-workshop-6-30
Want to know the secret to ending the non-stop cycle of nightmare client after nightmare client?
It starts by doing the work you dream of doing- before any client pays you to. By creating your own dream projects. Because here's the thing- great clients aren't looking to hire just any old creative. They want to know that you can not only do great work, but the exact work they're looking to hire. And if that work's not in your portfolio- it's a hard pass.
But no need to panic! This workshop's going to give you the guidance and space to build a body of work that shows your dream clients what you're made of.
SO GET GOING ALREADY!
To get the type of work you want to be paid for, you need to show you can do that work. And you don't need a client to do that- you just need to give yourself the permission to go after it. In this workshop, Stephanie Owens will walk you through the exact process she uses in her design studio to create strategic, self-initiated projects that bring in paying clients and new opportunities. In this two-part workshop you'll:
Create a master plan for self-initiated projects that will fill your portfolio with the kind of work you want more of (even if you don't know what work you want more of yet).
Explore your project options and understand the strategic choices that need to be made to ensure that each self-initiated project fills a gap in your portfolio rather than just being a piece of fluff.
Explore various ways you can market your work, including SEO best-practices, posting your work on online-platforms, and using your work to reach out to potential clients (even if you're an introvert).
Go beyond just making the work and learn various ways you can monetize your craft without the need of a paying client.
