This is episode 1 of 2. Subscribe to be notified of the next one.

You you've jumped ship from your 9 to 5, or thinking of doing so, and taking on the inevitable GIG ECONOMY! In this episode of the Do Video Podcast we'll discuss your burning questions about everything from starting a business, becoming a freelancer, networking, tax and burnout.

You can find our guest/newbie freelancer Joel for your own animation and video work at maticcreative.com @matic_creative & at [email protected] 

When starting something new you'll always have a lot of questions, but when taking on freelancing/supporting yourself financially many people just think that they "can't" do it. Of course it's not as easy as posting a photo on Instagram or even switching internet providers, but a rewarding experience is never easy and if they were, we'd all be doing them, all the time. In this episode we touch on questions asked by a real newbie freelancer, someone who has the skills but not the work to pay the bills, yet! See our timestamps below to see what we cover in this episode, and make sure you stay tuned for part 2 of our conversation.
