Great tips! Thank you very much Hayley & Ben. I would love to see that video about create a case studio, really something I want to look into to get more freelance clients.

[marchomotion]

I would definitely love a Case Studies video!

[Thunderstrike]

Favorite tip was definitely showing the work flow. Something I would love to talk about to clients, but always afraid they would either get confused, intimidated, or would simply not care.

[jeffchristensen]

Yes please make a video regarding making case studies.

[MrBeaun]

Great video! I had no idea about Streak! Going to try using it going forward!

[lopsangdlama]

I would love to watch a video on case study

[johntnguyen]

Hadn't been back in a bit...like the new hair color! 🙌 And yeah...gonna mention all of these (as well as Ben's) tips in my animation course (community college level). The kids need to hear this advice as early as we can give it!

[amandarenee]

I found it really interesting that you recommend showing our process with case studies! Not sure why I haven't thought about doing that, but it is a fantastic idea!

[wotntarnation]

Would love for you to create a case study video. I'm working on some right now!

[monojit]

A detailed guide on case study will be very helpful. 🙂

[dorota_sloma]

Thanks Hayley, great video! my favourite tips: 30 emails to get one project and tracking clients by organising them into groups of past present and potential ones.

[soniavivodesign]

Definitely the best tip was Streak, I was not aware of this tool. So useful to be able to also organize projects. Some clients want to communicate via email and it was needed a tool like that.
Thanks Hayley :)

[usefhussain]

This is brilliant! Some really useful tips I didn't rlly think about, thank you sm :D

[marcorossi]

I just loved this video. It was really interesting and objective. For me, the most valuable part was tip number 3.
And it will be great to see a "how to create a case study video" here on the channel. I'm really looking forward to see it

[TheClearMediaContent]

Yes, I'd love seeing a video on case studies. I definitely make them, but I'm always interested in seeing how specialists do it.

[KasperWerther]

Best tip for me is not to confuse the client. My work has been varied between motion graphics, stop-motion and overlapping cross media work. I've always been a bit averse to making a general showreel because it's not as useful for attracting clients. Making seperate reels or pages of collected work on my website has been the way to go for me so far!
