Game Development and Design (Fun to do and big Money)

Let’s start with the category most people love to talk about and which has the potential of earning a huge amount of money. Game Development is one of the strongest skills right now and turning into a bright career!

Basically, Game designing is designing the game using a concept. Example- how will the scenery look, character outfits design, level design, vehicle design, weapons design, etc.

Whatever the designer designs, the Game Developer turns them into a real game using Programming Language, Game Engine / IDE. A person can be both a Game designer & a Developer.

Items of games can be designed using illustrating software. Such as Adobe Illustrator. Some Popular game Engines are Unity & Unreal Engine. Suitable Programming Language for games is C# & C++

Logo Design (Creativity and High Demand)

Now this one…. This category is where you have to dig your brain! This one is in very high demand. Even though there is high competition, half of them are not very skilled.

If you are skilled enough and you have the ability to attract potential clients with the communication, You should Roll In Right Now! Even if you think you are not very creative, you can become one gradually.

This service is very simple. But It’s not easy. You have to think about the concept, know about your audiences, keep a good idea about typography.

The process is simple. Make a website of your own or sign up on any freelance job sites if you want. Or you can even do cold emails.

After you get the order, open up your favorite Designing/illustrating (Example- Adobe Illustrator)software and make the logo. Deliver it to the client.

When any business starts, first of all, they need a professional business card! A clean and professional business card is essential if you want to reach clients in-person. A creative person is hired right away to do this creative job.

Business card design is a simple process. You design the concept and add it to a mockup. If you have experience with any of the skills of Graphics Design, you are familiar with it.

All types of Digital Marketing

The web is getting bigger and more complex day by day. Businesses are now trying to reach customers using digital methods as it is a huge opportunity. They can promote their product/service, identity at an unimaginable extent online. Some businesses also adding their web identities on the internet.

Many online businesses were started only using the internet. Everyone started promoting everything on the web. That’s when a term digital marketing appeared. It has multiple & huge subcategories. Each promotes businesses in different situations, places, limits, methods.

1. Social Media Marketing, Advertising, Influencer Marketing.

Facebook pages, Ads, Share Posts, Instagram business pages, Ads & post writing about business on social medias ar part of social media marketing, Advertising.

Many prefer the Influencer Marketing. If their pages, ads don’t do the work, they reach people who have a good amount of social media fans/followers. Those who are popular will promote it for them.

Thus, the company will gain more leads if they pay the influencers rather than promoting it themselves

2. SEO & SEM

SEO — Search Engine Optimization, SEM — Search Engine Marketing

So, when you want to know about a topic or a company. You just search about a topic or a company name on your search engine. usually, you would google to search.

After you submit the search, there will be a huge list of results. You can go to any of them and find the necessary information. If you can’t find the info, you will go back and check the other results. Each result is on different websites and when you click them, you are getting into a website.

Example- if you search, The best social media platform, There must be a result on the top, or the 2nd, or the 3rd result and it will be called “Facebook”. When you click it, you will get into https://www.facebook.com’s website

Mostly, You will click the result which at the top of the 2nd result or the 3rd result. The list is huge and people won’t just ignore the top results and go to the 2nd page.

people won’t ignore the top results

So, The top results have the highest chance of gaining audiences to their websites. Hence, Almost every company today is trying to reach the top 5 of the search result on a specific topic, or at least the 1st page.

The competition is growing very rapidly. That’s why companies are hiring professionals to optimize their website, add some enhancements to their website & on the other hand their paying for advertisements on google. The first one is organic and called SEO and the second one is called SEM.

3. marketing strategy and consultation

I think every serious business hires a consultant when they need to improve. This can be an individual or an agency. The consultant gives marketing strategies and ensures that the deliverables meet the goal and strategy idea.

let’s give a clear idea about it. A company is coming to you, you are the consultant. They are saying that they ain’t getting any sales. They are doing a fashion business and currently have a store in the US. They can invest and willing to expand business too.

So, then you ask him some questions. and based on the questions you do some reports. Then you meet their development, design, writer teams. At last, you give them some recommendations. Like “From the reports, answers of my questions from you and the team, my previous experiences, I recommend you to redesign your logo, make a professional business card and an eCommerce website for your store.”

or “As you are ready to invest, You should make another branch in the UK” and “We should do some editing on ……”. That’s your marketing strategy and consultation.

Then you collaborate with the teams and can even add your employees to the work. They will do the project and deliver the website/logo/business card or the edited …… These are the deliverables. When the deliverables are delivered fine and the client is happy, The project is done.

Hello again, I really wanted to give you all the category briefings. But, I worked on writing a lot today and I have got many other works. I think I should call it a day. There are many other things to cover like video-animations, music-audio, programming-tech, business. I am so sorry. The rest will come in part-2.
