Start earning an income with your sketchnoting skills.
Craft a side project in which you merge your interests with your sketchnoting skills to create work that will get you paid.
Turn a passion project into a paid gig.
What type of side hustle might you create with your sketchnoting skills?
Here are just a few of the opportunities you can pursue:
A sampling of the freelance gigs or product creation that you might take on as a sketchnoting side hustle.
Whether you want to collaborate with others through freelance gigs or start building out your own products that feature your sketchnotes, this course will help you add structure and sustainability to your side hustle.
Come behind the scenes of my side hustle.
I'm making hand-sketched videos for organizations with big ideas.
A one-page description of the sketchnoting service I provide.
I'm excited to take on collaborative video projects as my own side hustle, and within this course I'll be reflecting on what I learn from that process.
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at one of those projects:
Build and learn alongside other sketchnoters.
You're not the only sketchnoter who has heard the phrase "Those notes are so cool! How much would you charge to create something like that for me?"
You're not the only sketchnoter who wants to create prints, write books, and make videos.
You're not the only sketchnoter who wants to turn their creative skills into real dollars.
Merge your sketchnoting skills with your long-term interests to create a side hustle that strengthens your financial security.
The purpose of this course is to gather together those sketchnoters who want to start earning an income from their creative work.
If that sounds exciting to you, I hope you'll join us.
