Course Description

This is my story - how I went from a door-to-door sales agent, living with my parents, to a successful entrepreneur, freelancer, and instructor. All through Photoshop. Find out how I earned over one million dollars by using Photoshop in a smarter way.

What's included:

  • how I grew up in Romania, an ex-communist country;

  • how I learned Photoshop and how I made over $50K by freelancing;

  • what made me a successful freelancer: 6 principles that made me great;

  • a complete breakdown of all my earnings and how I invested it in several companies;

  • what I did to increase my productivity and concentration;

  • the principles of growing an e-commerce business (selling healthy food);

  • what I learned about Facebook Ads after spending $40k of my own money;

  • content marketing, performance agencies, and buying ads.

This course is NOT:

  • A business course;

  • A guide on how to make money;

  • A training program that teaches how to get rich.

Please see this material as entertainment.  Watch it if you want to learn more about me, Chris Barin, and how I managed to create a fantastic career, financial stability, and a great life, all through Photoshop, working hard, working smarter, and working long enough.

I hope you'll see that I'm not a genius, I'm not special, and that you can achieve at least a part of my success by following certain rules and principles. There are many other entrepreneurs that have books and courses, but this is different due to the fact that I started from the bottom and I worked my way up through Photoshop.

I describe everything, step by step. From the first $1000 all the way to over a million dollars. Watch this course if you want real insight from a real person.

By being self-taught, he managed to gain the trust of over 290.000 students from all over the world through his Photoshop courses. A staple of his materials is a hand-on, down-to-Earth approach that focuses on getting maximum results with minimal effort.

Chris started out as a freelance web designer and built a loyal client base, earning over $50,000 by designing sites part time. Today, he runs his own Android design studio, 20+ strong, creating fantastic looking apps for clients; his apps have over 100 million downloads to date. 

Passionate about teaching, Chris teaches on Udemy because he has been disappointed in the quality of training materials available for people who want to learn design. In his courses, he holds nothing back; he documents and shares his entire experience on how he managed to stand out from the competition and do the work that he loves full-time.

Fascinating stories and very inspiring. If you've taken Chris's Photoshop courses, you'll really see his passion behind how he teaches things. He teaches in a supremely practical manner and it has helped me in sifting through the irrelevant things about my career transition to designing. No doubt this short course gave me an understanding why. Chris is a great teacher and it's really good to learn from his experiences. If you're curious about learning Photoshop, I think you'll have get the bang for your buck with his courses. I know I did.
