My goal is to lock in for one month and fulfill what the name of the community says, $1k in 30 days. For that I watched the module on freelancing today and made this roadmap for myself after a bit of research. Now I don't know if this will work or not, so I would love it if someone could point out whether I am going in the right direction or not.
I am planning to use capcut for short form content, and that is going to be my niche for now. I am a medical student so I will try to focus on healthcare related content and that will be my sub-niche. I made this decision because my goal is based on a very short time frame and learning an entirely new platform like premiere pro or any new skill will consume a lot of time.
Week 1: Build a Micro-Portfolio (Days 1-7)
- Watch Classroom videos
- Practice video editing and improve my skill of editing short form content
- Make a micro portfolio on GoogleDrive
- Watch content on YouTube for inspiration
Week 2: The Outreach Hustle (Days 8-14)
- Identify 30-50 mid-level creators, based in other countries, that are especially related to healthcare or teaching (as I am a MedStudent) on Instagram or YouTube.
- Make short punchy emails using AI
- Work on pitch skills, and client hunting skills
Week 3: The Free Trials (Days 15-21)
- Offer the clients free trial of maybe 1 or 2 video
- Meanwhile keep reaching out to more clients
- Learn communication with clients
- Learn how much to charge and what are the market rates for the job that I am doing
Week 4: Closing and Execution (Days 22-30)
- Trust Allah and see if anything works out or not
