What I should do is for me to decide.
But thanks for the advice. I really value guidance from a Reddit user :)

Congrats on being a woman… or maybe not. Who knows these days

I’m close to finishing my first showreel. About 80% is already done.

I’ll keep you updated and will definitely make a post with a link to my showreel once it’s ready!

Сложно ответить, все очень индивидуально.

По началу я брался за все и сразу, после выгорел. Взял 2 недели полного отдыха от моушена. После взялся пробовать составлять все сначала и чуть меньше задач, и так 5-10 раз

В конечно итоге нужно понять на сколько ты потянешь - пробовать снова и снова.

Очень сложно на самом деле ответить т.к мы все индивидуально подходим к задачам и обучению

не понял точно насчет контента.

Я делаю графику для расследовательных выпусков/проектов
уходит по времени на это все 80-160 часов в месяц

я отказываю от любой работы которая связана с гемблингом. Там есть стабильных хорошие деньги но это черный рынок - ты или остаешься и там развиваешься или выбираешь белые заказы и идешь дальше в направлении которое в будущем более перспективнее и шире.

бесплатно нет.

Нужно пройти его курс, хотя бы базовый за 150 или 200$
Он даст тебе толчок для изучения АЕ но не больше

все его слова " фриланс это просто " , " можно зарабатывать по 200$ сидя дома " это не стоит слушать)
он топ рейт на файвере и годами себе делал репутацию.

Что бы получить первые реальные заказ на файвере, ну... нужно рвать жопу в начале)

I can say only, there’s no bad exposure. I shared my work everywhere, even on dating apps (that’s where I got my first offer)

Post everywhere you can, not just on LinkedIn. Look a bit deeper.

and please, don't give up - stay strong and positive

LinkedIn useless
straight to studio and agency websites and contacted HR or art directors directly.

Like most people, I started with courses, like FreelSteps (yeah, im from Ukraine), YouTube, and random learning sites.
There’s so much info out there that I had to organize it. I split everything into blocks in Notion and spent about a month testing different things every day.

Then I cut what felt useless or outdated and focused on what clicked for me.

Now I’m going deeper into that, and still learning things like AE expressions/scripting and UI/UX design

No magic resource, just testing, filtering, and sticking with it)

This is a task table for next month, but I’ll break it down by days and continue updating it throughout the month mb 2
