@chechoribero yes that’s basically it. I wasn’t able to garner a sizeable audience in my target demographic, so it was really hard to market my tools. Good luck, if you can get it off the ground it’s a really cool passive income!
@zorianflorian I would love to connect with you about that! I tried to figure out how you can start as a carpenter in Germany and the Arbeitsamt told me because I have a design degree I can just find an apprenticeship somewhere but then I couldn’t find any place that was even looking or responded to me. What’s the programme they suggested to you?
@mauro I’ll definitely take you up on that. I’m really doubtful about the future of my career at the moment!
@anakin78z how do you decide what type of app to make and if it has enough of a USP?
@chechoribero I’m sort of leaning into the same direction of dev work but I have tried to sell a few tools and it’s a struggle so I am doubtful if that can be a full time career. Have you tried putting up any templates or plugins on mograph market places?
@slanderoid haha time for hobbies on the job is the best perk! 👌
@zorianflorian funnily enough I’ve also been playing with the idea of carpentry. I actually seriously looked into it when I lost a job once and was unemployed before I went freelance but it was such a bureaucratic jungle that I gave up on it. What is making you consider it?
@slanderoid what’s your special assignment?
@mauro I relate to this sooo much! It has dawned on my now that I have dug myself a hole in the advertising industry (I’ve been doing motion design since about 2011) and I want out. Funnily enough, I am also considering the web development/computer science industry 😂 I am hoping to not completely lose animation in my work but I have always been more drawn to programming (I specialise in expressions and Mogrt template dev in my mograph work) than graphic design/making art. Hope it works out 4 us!
I’m thinking of transitioning out of motion design. Or perhaps just out of my niche of explainer videos. Have you ever thought about transitioning out of your chosen career? Did you do it? How did that go? #motionDesign #MotionGraphics #design #designer #designCareer #designChoices #careerPath
