Anyone can own photoshop and make a tour...true. Anyone can take pictures too! Anyone can shoot & edit video. Anyone can...anyone can...anyone can. That frame of mind will never allow you to get where you want to go.

Here's a few things to keep in mind Alien.

1). You don't need a lot of clients to make a decent living. A couple of good clients will do the trick. A couple of good clients that you can take good care of...and that will take good care of you. Designers are everywhere....I've worked with a bunch of them but one of things I keep bumping in to with designers has nothing to do with their creative attributes, but has more to do with their servicing or "following through" attributes. I've hired a handful of designers and a few video editors this past year and the majority of them never met their deadlines. They would tell me that they would have something in a few days and a week later I'm still waiting. You want to set yourself apart from the crowd? You just need two things. Good creative skills and a knack for getting shit done on time. You want people to give you a try? Start promoting the fact that their design will be ready on time....or it's free. That'll give people an incentive to work with you.

2). See #1
