Looking to start or grow a motion design business in 2025? I’ve been in the industry for 16 years and have been self-employed since 2015. In this video, I share what I’d do if I had to start from scratch and build a successful motion design business.
I cover the strategy I would use to build new connections and stay top-of-mind, how you can create a unique offering for your ideal clients and how you can forecast your year to build a more stable income as a freelancer.
This video is split into two parts.
Part 1 is for anyone who is starting completely from scratch and has zero clients right now.
Part 2 is for anyone with some clients but want to build a more consistent stream of clients and more consistent revenue.
For Part 2, skip to 06:04
In this video:
✅ How to make new connections in the industry
✅ How to stay top-of-mind using a CRM and social media
✅ How to identify your ideal clients
✅ How to discover your niche and unique offering
