00:00Friends, in the future we will learn about the hands on experiences of freelancing in
00:19different modules.
00:21But I am teaching you all those soft skills and inspiration stuff, which is very important
00:27in order to upscale you as a potential freelancer.
00:32YouTube.
00:34YouTube is the biggest video platform in the world where there is a lot of content
00:42and different skill sets, different categories, different industries are related.
00:46No one can deny the importance of YouTube.
00:49We use YouTube on a daily basis for recitation, learning, music, and to watch the content of
01:02vloggers like Zaid Ali, who is an important vlogger from Pakistan living in the US.
01:13In the same way, Shyam Idrees and many other YouTubers are earning a lot of fame and money
01:20by vlogging on YouTube from all over the world.
01:24The importance of YouTube for freelance work is so important and unfortunately,
01:31many freelancers ignore this fundamental importance of this video tool and platform
01:40to upscale your freelance work.
01:42You can use YouTube for your freelance work in two ways.
01:47Number one, to learn a new skill.
01:50And number two is, you can promote yourself as a freelancer.
01:57Let's go to the first point and I will explain in detail how you can use YouTube to learn a new skill.
02:05For example, you want to learn graphic designing and you have a passion for graphic designing
02:11and you also have basic graphic designing know-how.
02:14But you are not able to reach the advanced level.
02:17If you write on YouTube, learn graphic designing,
02:24you will find many videos in English, Urdu or Hindi.
02:32Unfortunately, I would like to say that there is not enough content on YouTube in Pakistan
02:42from instructors, teachers and trainers.
02:47It is very important that we understand the importance of this.
02:52All instructors, trainers and inspiring speakers should have their content available online.
02:59There is a lot of content in the West and in our neighbouring countries as well.
03:06So, if you want to learn a skill as a freelancer, use YouTube.
03:12I used YouTube so much that I wanted to improve my skill set.
03:24So, when I used to write a keyword, all the videos I used to see, tutorials in particular,
03:30when I used to learn those tutorials,
03:32I used to challenge myself that the next day, without watching the video again,
03:39I have to complete that tutorial in Photoshop.
03:42Whether it is filters, maneuvering within Photoshop, using layers,
03:50or any kind of lighting effects,
03:57I learned everything from YouTube tutorials.
04:00I used to challenge myself for 24 hours without watching the video
04:04that I have learned a new skill, a new tutorial,
04:08and I want to take it as a practical experience and learn it.
04:15So that in future, if I need a skill set within Photoshop,
04:19I don't have to go back to YouTube.
04:22I have learned that particular skill set from my hard work and experience.
04:27So, YouTube is very important for you to learn a skill.
04:31And people actually ignore the importance of YouTube.
04:34Advantages of using YouTube is,
04:37A. It is free.
04:40B. It is a diversified content.
04:43C. You can use that at your own time comfort.
04:50See, these three things are very important.
04:53In today's world, no one teaches for free.
04:57And there is a huge amount of content on YouTube,
05:01where if you want to gain knowledge about any field,
05:05you can learn it for free, without paying a single dime.
05:09Yes, the channel owner of YouTube definitely requests you to subscribe to his channel.
05:16This is the kind of encouragement you need.
05:18He is monetizing his content by adding content for free.
05:22And even if you are watching it for free, you are still earning money.
05:25You don't have to pay through ads that you can see on your screen.
05:30This is why YouTube content is free.
05:33And as an end user, as someone who wants to learn something from YouTube,
05:39you do not have to pay a single dime.
05:42The second important thing is,
05:44YouTube has diversified content.
05:48If you want to learn a particular tutorial or skill set,
05:51you can learn it from different countries.
05:54Some people might be uploading videos in America.
05:58Some people might be uploading videos in Pakistan.
06:01So and so forth.
06:02There are many countries in the world.
06:04People from different cultures and backgrounds are uploading their content.
06:08What else do you need?
06:09You are learning a different school of thought.
06:11You are learning a different skill set coming from different teachers from different backgrounds.
06:15This is very important.
06:17Thirdly, you can learn in your own time zone using your comfort.
06:27You work all day.
06:29Give yourself some time in the evening.
06:31Or you work all evening.
06:33Give yourself some time in the day.
06:34And that content is available.
06:36That content will not run away.
06:38YouTube does not have feet.
06:39Believe me.
06:40Whenever you feel like, you can view that content.
06:44And you can play back that video in your own comfort zone.
06:49Similarly, like I am uploading video content right now.
06:52And whenever you feel like, you can play back this content and learn.
06:57I request you to learn.
