Absolutely have no idea what i am talking about in here. But it seems like a life and death situation right now. Most of the illustration jobs are taken by AI. A normal person who hired an illustrator in the previous days are going to mid journey or Prompt Artists these days. look t the job hiring on freelancer.com. people do not have any problem in hiring a prompt artist. They just need the product to be good. I mean take children's book for example. You are on the store and in the shelf you see a human illustrated book and an AI generated one. The tendency is to pick the AI generated one. So, you cant complain those who does that. Makes sense. Maybe some people will give you work because of being sentimental to you. But that is not a permanent solution to this problem.
And another thing is this giant corporations like bitches pouring money for competing the online space. Some one is googling "hire an illustrator" the first search results coming on the page are from, fiverr, Upwork and a ton of other companies which are like giant corporations. There is no way an independent artist can compete with them. So, if you want to be a successful freelancer you must go to one of these platforms which are Freelancer.com, Fiverr.com, Upwork.com
What is the chance of getting a job in there?
It is extremely difficult to land on your first job.
Fiverr is easy. that is why I am recommending fiverr. Do this thing. Create a service and create a brand around that service and post it every single day as a gig. within one week the algorithm will pick up and you will get an order. But fiverr is not a permanent solution in the long run. At some point fiverr will rank you down. mainly because of many reasons. 1. your lose of interest. 2. fiverr experimenting with new sellers 3. Change in the algorithm for new market research. Nothing is predictable. it is just like stock market. can go up. can go down. Along with that there goes your life in drain. by the way herre is my fiverr link to hire me as a storyboard artist: fiverr storyboard artist
Next is freelancer. that is where I am trying really hard these days. my strategy is posting for contests for the next 30 days continuously and bidding new jobs. But there is a bid limit. After your limit is over you need to buy more bids. Well, they are making money son. this is not charity business. You are stupid. But those who makes money are not. You need to think like a business man to see some sunshine. That is where Karl Marx has always failed. Poor man. Whatever, Must do something. Or we will die of poverty. That is going to be a pathetic death. Horrible. See you tomorrow with another blog post
