Hello Vatsal,

Becoming a freelancer is quite easy but grabbing big projects is quite difficult. For getting good projects, or projects that pay you around 2000-5000 or more, require skill as well as experience.

Having a good skill in the field of animation, can land you certain freelancing opportunities in tutorial companies, as well as cartoon designing, etc.

For starting such things, you may first create a blog or something, so as to showcase your skills, and then continue with websites such as freelancer.com (//freelancer.com) .

Becoming a freelancer, will recover your personal expenses in college. You can have a secondary pocketmoney source. Apart from this, you will develop a new skill, which if polished properly, can help you in placements when coming to multimedia companies, such as Adobe, Unity, etc..

Hope this helps
