This is Exactly How I Get 3D Clients
This is my most requested video - how to get clients! In this video, we cover a variety of methods for getting clients, about cold outreach, but also specifically how to do cold outreach in a way that is time efficient. These are the methods I've used, and I'm sure you can find some success by using them yourself.

I go back to this video every time I feel lost, unmotivated and scared, your videos inspire me to just keep going and ignore the self doubt. Thank you, spencer!
Same. I Have Watched This Video 4 times
I downloaded the video already 😅😅
You’re videos are of the few that I always like immediately, even before the video starts.
You're a real one for that
I binged watched every single one of your videos in the last 48 hours. You have taught me a lot, and I mean a lot cuz i didnt even know about using contracts and stuff for freelancing and stuff. I do have a question tough, is it a good idea to message tiktokers that have products?. I was thinking of e-mailing them some free renders that i have made for them to use and see if they need any 3d artists like me. I haven't started yet cuz my semester exams are starting soon and i am thinking of actually building a proper portfolio right after that. Either way I hope the best for you cuz you have helped so many clueless 3d artists like me. And also that haircut makes you look british.
Thanks! So glad to hear you're liking all the videos. I think messaging TikTokers is worthwhile if they seem to be doing good numbers. Just know that most dropshippers are operating on pretty thin margins and may not want to invest in 3D. People who are taking extra time to build a legitimate brand are probably gonna be best. With that said, it takes so little time to reach out - I'd still ask! Any brand that looks like they're getting consistently good numbers but have bad pictures on their social media and website may be interested. I see people like this all the time! Stay consistent. It may take hundreds of tries to find someone interested in paying for renders but once you get the first few clients it all gets easier. Keep it up!
Oh god I am doing that as well
in the youtube world of people scamming you of your time and energy with clickbaits and half truths of how to do things, you my brother, I'm glad I clicked on your video, please keep going and maintain this same attitude towards providing this kind of value, you are genuinely rare to find in this cesspool of "how to make money doing x", I dont even plan to do 3d but what you have said in this video or the past 2-3 I watched, its very valuable knowledge for me to apply for my other work that I'm trying to make a reality, so thank you so much for that! I watched your "How I went from $0 to THOUSANDS per month as a 3D .." video which is a year old and was expecting *as this platform turns people into most of the times* to peddle the same bullshit packaged 5 times to maintain a "consistent" channel and I'm glad you didnt turn into that! Its really a surprise even reading the comments where people are likewise commending your knowledge that you are sharing aswell as people sharing tips and what worked for them, really goes to show what this art community lacked, this is getting too long, brother keep doing you, really love your positive attitude, !!!! I'm inspired and kinda assured in a way, that things will turn out good for me too, just gotta cold dm 500 ppl hahaha, much love man
Damn dude that may be the longest comment I've ever gotten. Thanks so much for watching the videos and letting me know how much you appreciate them! I am also pretty annoyed at how repetitive KZhead content has started getting and I'm hoping to make it here by being different haha My goal is to continue doing 3D, partially because I like 3D, but also because it gives me something to share and make content about. Happy to hear you're getting value out of the principles I teach and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you're doing!
literally just binged all of your videoes - so glad i found your channel! Currently in the works of building my portfolio using blender, however i am currently "transitioning" slighty more into motion graphics in houdini and cinema4d - as i would like to experience working in a real 3D studio with Industry standard practices. Like you, i have gotten some pretty crazy referels from previous clients, such as Mugler x H&M where i helped out with their campaign in Denmark. You seem to have such a good and realistic grasp of freelancing in 3D, and your videoes have already helped me massively. Love the down to earth structure of your content, and how you make 3D freelancing seem more of an opportunity, as apose to an unclimbable mountain!!! Keep up the great work, cheers!
Congrats on all the success! Glad you enjoy the videos!
a tip for those living in a city or close to one: look into events that interest you, music or other things; for example: I like DnB and techno, and involve myself in the scene, you quickly get to know bookers; event organizers and the people that perform, all potential clients too, and a fun way to network ;)
Love this video. One of the few REALLY valuable videos about this topic.
Good advice, subbed!
Great stuff ! Thank you for creating these videos, you have helped me out so much !
Thanks for the feedback! I'm trying to spill as much knowledge on here as humanly possible. Glad you got something out of it
Good video, I'll try them all out.
Solid advice, this is basically the same approach I took for finding web design clients but on LinkedIn instead. Different platform, same approach. You just gotta show what you can do and let people know you're available.
Dude thank you so much for this info! 🔥
For sure, thanks for watching! Glad you got some value out of this
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been using Blender as a 3D character artist for years, and I think I'm decent enough for freelancing. I just didn't know how to start or find clients. Turns out, freelancing is more than just working on your skills for designing. Thanks!
Love your channel! Your content is super motivating and has been a game-changer for me . Despite the challenges, your tips have been incredibly helpful. Still on the hunt for my first client, but your insights keep me optimistic and driven. Thanks for being a constant source of inspiration!
Thanks so much, super glad you like! I hope you can get some good use out of it. Stay consistent and you'll get it I promise
Best channel on youtube! Love the video, keep it up
Thank you, SBP soon
Great fricking video man 10/10
Damn this brother did this before me I was planning to start a channel just about this😂 what's crazy is I have been doing exactly what you have said before seeing this and won't lie works like magic and I am in Africa so it's global . I dropped a follow everywhere and subscribed
i LOVE U FOR THIS GREAT VIDEOOOO thanks renderer
Bro you saved my life
Awesome video man!! I don't think people realize how priceless this knowledge is. Do you have any advice when it comes to rates you should charge clients when they ask? Sometimes I find it hard to get a good balance to not underselling myself but not overcharging the client.
Thanks for watching! I have a video about pricing already: kzhead.info/sun/es2qpNKNjmOngn0/bejne.htmlsi=C820GGzbaicb0ZIJ I would like to go into more detail on this soon though, as my perspective has changed a bit over the year! Stay tuned
Insane value man, but what do you sell the whop communities? What type of 3d designs?
Thank you! I made some connections, most notably with a web designer who drop serviced me (sold my services and took a cut for his own). He'd close a web design client and then offer them 3D work, and have me fulfill
best KZhead recommendation ever; does it matter if your account is new? i made a new account on all social media to make it mor professional now am making renders and animation to fill it up before contacting potential clients. also thanks i watched all your vids
Thank you so much! Yeah I'd probably not post all at once if you can help it. Maybe once per day if you're just filling out a feed. Bot accounts tend to post all at once and you sure don't wanna be mistaken for a bot if you're doing cold outreach lol
thanks for the reply, and yeah i have some project ready and ill upload em over a month or so. crazy video idea (not really) can we like send you our portfolio and you rate it? and just talk about it what we can do better cheers
for some more help can you plz list some of the discord grops we can start from
How & Where to start begin learning Blender, Do you recommend a course or maybe a youtube playlist? How did you get started ? Could you please guide a newbie who is just getting into 3D Animation. Also i have an old Macbook Pro from 2015 with 2GBs graphics card and 16GBs ram would it be good enough in the beginning to learn?
BlenderGuru's Donut tutorial is the most notoriously good and widely used tutorial series out there. If you're just starting off, I think he just made a new series for Blender 4.0. Check it out!
Love this video…. What do you think about offering work for free to get a name and reputation in the very beginning?
I did a little bit of free work starting out just to build a portfolio. I think as long as you try to move away from doing that quickly, it's a good idea
Very good thank you.... @@renderer
Hey Renderer , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you enhance Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
what is the problem with upwork or fiverr?
I actually made a video that goes into detail about that: kzhead.info/sun/h9qSoauogKmwq2w/bejne.htmlsi=ub-MlbvivuttQbB5
Arent there unions or associations? I hate social media there are not part of my routine, I can use discord but Twitter and instagram are out of my touch
I'm sure you can, I am just sharing my experience and what I know to work and not work. There's tons of ways to do everything technically
I’m new here 1:55 is that actually you? That looks like you
Its not me hahah its a video of a guy speedrunning minecraft i think
@@renderernah, I paused. I refused to believe you when it’s showing like this
