Episode 017: Going From Portfolio Building to Paid Work - a podcast by The Asia Croson Podcast

What We Talked About:

Transitioning from portfolio building/spec work to getting paid
How we did it, how fast we did it, and how we would do it differently
One size does not fit all
Don't give your work away for free
If people want to pay for your work, let them
The difference between practicing & portfolio building
Consider the time, material cost, talent, communication, etc that goes into your work (aka how to set price)
Being uncomfortable with your pricing is totally fine
Who to portfolio build with in the beginning & why
Who to portfolio build with for forever & why (hint: other creatives)
Offering a new service does not mean you are portfolio building
Practicing is different than portfolio building
Being careful with working for "exposure"
Working well under pressure & why pressure is not a negative thing
Testing the waters with portfolio building
Charging your clients means you will serve them better
We repeat: Putting a value on your work means you produce better work
Be excited for the next phase of your business if you're in the portfolio building stage! It's exciting!
