How to Make a Logo Design Your New Side Hustle

... and make easy $500/month even as a total newbie.

I did it and you also can.

Here's how.

// A THREAD //

You don’t know how to make logos and that’s completely fine.

I will show you two ways how to get the logo:

1st - Doing it yourself

2nd - Outsource it and sell it with a margin

Then I will show you how to get a client.

Ready?

1) How to create the logo yourself?

Use online, free tool: logomaker.thehoth.com

It’s SUPER SIMPLE and you would be amazed with the results.

Here is an example of logo that took me like 5 minutes to create:

If you tried TheHoth but think that the logo is not good enough you will have to outsource.

1. Go to Fiverr.com

2. Type and search logo design

3. Filter base on price and reviews

You will find dozens of RIDICULOUSLY UNDERPRICED offers.

Take advantage.

I found there a girl who is able to make 3 logos for $10 and even re-do one of them based on your feedback.

Check the image on quality.

You can also learn using Adobe-Illustrator for better creating via some Udemy courses.

Once you got a logo you need a client.

There are dozens of ways how to get a client.

But there is one simple hack that worked liked charm for me.

Are you ready?

The secret hack: Target people, you can get in touch personally.

Trust is a big thing.

When you meet people in person you

- seems to be legit

- ppl compare you with other local design studios, and you are often much cheaper with similar design quality.

-If you approach people live they don’t have a motivation to find the alternatives online (at least much)

-If things are good it’s much easier to get a reference

How exactly should you approach them?

1. Go to some mall, check the shops with terrible logos.

2. Go there.

3. Tell them you are a starting out designer/ studio who would offer them a new logo for which they will pay only in case they will like it. (Stop doing this once you have some references.)

Simple.

Online version

1. google NICHE + YOUR CITY.

Then using Snov.io / Mailshake / AMMM to reach out to them with personalized emails.

2. Try to set up a discovery call/ live meeting

3. Close the client

That's it, now go to make some real $$$!
