A seminar series for freelance creatives tired of learning things the hard way.
Freelancer Seminars is a Toronto-based seminar series for freelance graphic designers and creative entrepreneurs. We bring in experts and creative pros to share their experiences and knowledge, and explore topics on how to grow and sustain your business.
One of the biggest challenges designers have is budgeting and estimating their time for potential projects. This workshop will show you that through the use of simple spreadsheet tools you can predict and account for all the time and resources you may need.
We'll walk through all the steps of estimating, calculating, and considering all the factors that go into pricing your work — and what rookie mistakes to avoid that can keep you from getting the pay you deserve.
By the end you'll have a solid formula for pricing in a spreadsheet you can use over and over again.
There are many misconceptions about art licensing that can either prevent artists from exploring new earning opportunities, or convince artists to dive in with expectations set too high — both are a recipe for disappointment.
We’ll bust the most common myths of art licensing and break down the truths of navigating the pitching process, negotiating fair deals, and keeping the experience positive and profitable for your creative biz.
Whether you’re just starting out or expanding your portfolio, this talk will offer a realistic perspective and guide you in understanding the real potential of art licensing as a long-term revenue channel.
