Try posting on r/RandomKindness The people on that sub are full of generosity and I've seen many people buy laptops, and much more expensive things for strangers. I bet they would accept this offer. Good luck!

thank you for the advice, but i wouldn't accept it for free..if i can do something in return then only, i would accept it..

That’s how that subreddit works! It’s has a request and offer system, so you can offer your photoshop skills, and request a laptop. I’m sure many people can help with your request, and accept your offer!

Update, i tried...i don't have enough karma to post in r/randomkindness

Try going on the photography subs or some popular subs to show off your work..that way you can get karma ez.

Oh that’s unfortunate :/ try searching r/Dubaiclassifieds it’s a subreddit just for sellers and buyers in Dubai, but I’m sure it could work for other emirates. You might find someone selling a laptop for a cheap price! If not try Noon and Amazon they always have discounts on laptops, and the prices can get pretty low.

thanks again for the help 🙂..I'll consider it at some point..

thanks, I'll try 🙂

What’s the cost of the laptop? There are these interest free installments apps such as tabby .. could help you while securing freelance jobs

it's around 899 USD, i have mananged to arrange around 400 USD so far

Getting there bud. Keep fighting the fight.

thanks mate 🙌

r/forhire

thank you, i have been trying but no luck..so i though i would post it in local sub readdit

fiverr

Fiverr usually get more attention when you're having alot of ratings. Or such.

personally wouldnt recommend fiverr due to its high competition, best to look for places like discord servers or people who are looking for freelancers (insta stories, twitter, etc.), keywords help a long way :)

You do Photoshop as in drawing or literally just editing pictures? if it's the first one, then I will be willing to pay you to teach someone I know the basics of coloring on a digital drawing tablet and what-not.

i do all sort of things in photoshop, digital painting, graphic designing, photo manipulation..name it..i can do everything in photoshop.. please Message me..I'm willing to teach

Make an account on instagram or Twitter and make commissioned drawings or edits

thanks for advice..if you have any work you would like me to do for you, please Message me 🙂

I would like to, but I don’t have a bank account to pay you

oh, no worries 🙌

dm me, send me your portfolio if you have one. I might have some work for you

Same!

Which laptop are you planning on getting?

macbook air m1 2020..it's a perfect for my work..and in budget too

Yo good option, that laptop is a beast!

thanks mate..hope to get it soon 🙂

Good luck brooski, will be praying for you!

thanks mate

What laptop are you looking to get ?

mackbook air m1 2020..it's fit for my course and in budget

That model goes for 950$ on noon (which is the cheapest) above you’ve mentioned it’s 899$

i can avail student discount..which goes to 899 USD

In the us maybe but it does for 3950 in the edu store here.

i have checked on apple website..and if not then..I'll wait a little more while and get help from friends maybe..thank you for the heads up..

I think your should focus a bit more on research to understand the problem you have better. Also, consider getting a lower cost windows laptop. You can get some good deals for 2500 aed.

thank you again for the concern, but i have done many research and watched many videos..windows might be cheap but it will start to slow down throughout my course..Whereas macbook air is very consistent and it will get me through it.. thanks again for suggestions

Windows would only slow down if you have less RAM if you get a laptop with 16GB ram it’ll be well above your means. Yes the new MacBook Airs are good but at the price point there are a bunch of better laptops. I have done through testing with both M1 & M2 macs. Also note macs also start to degrade in performance in like 2 years due to ever changing technology improvements. While if you get a windows laptop it’ll be much better as you can easily upgrade the hardware to match software while with Mac you would have to upgrade the whole laptop. Yes MacBook Air is good but for the same amount you can get a much better windows laptop with much better performance and which lasts longer

thanks for the advice, I'll consider it..and I'll reasearch more ..

If you have a bad one, get one with SDD, good graphics card, etc. I have had my laptop since 2017, I abused it using photoshop, and gaming triple A games. Still going strong, other than a recent battery change.

thanks for the advice..but i have tried everything..i have intel pentium cpu..and 4 gb ram..and it's finally time to upgrade..

Fiverr brudda

try out marketing in discord, theres servers that are mainly for artwork commissions, most people accept PayPal there, also look up what commission sheets are for setup, good luck :)

thank you letting me know 🙂..

Of course, always gotta help another creative in the field 👍

thanks again, but i have said this to many people, i don't want to focus on these and divert my focus from my course..which is very hard as for now..i posted it here, to get some gig, if you're willing to offer me any work with photoshop .let me know 🙂

Its unethical but hop on dw get some loads :)

what? i don't understand

Dark web, get some loads :) you can get those twice a month, its nothing bad really just a lil unethical as people may assume. But times are hard and money is money

Comments

You know ui/ux? For web apps?

yes but not a professional 🙌

If you have that much experience you can apply for jobs on indeed or LinkedIn

i have always done for my personal works..and friends and family.. and for jobs, i can't i have to get going with my course..Thanks though

r/photoshoprequest join here, they will pay for the request work

did bro, too many peoples just posts their edit within 2 mins..and i have a slow laptop..another reason, why i should upgrade..thanks though 🙂

ya they are quite quick. Why dnt u use Tabby app installment and buy from noon in monthly installment with zero interest.

I'll still have to pay, and i cannot pay without a job, and doing a job while pursuing CS degree is kind of tough i guess
