The question is
"How you can make money as a Graphics Designer"

I understand your thoughts, it's normal human feelings... Be it school we went to study or skill(s) we acquired, the endgame is all about making money so it's perfectly ok if the first impression you have in mind about graphics designs is MAKING MONEY.

You may be wondering where I'm headed with the above statement, but you'll understand briefly.

When it comes to Graphic Designs, from my personal experiences or as I'd like to say "From my mistakes"... venturing into it with the aim or mindset of MAKING MONEY will MOSTLY land one/beginners in regrets.
I'm not saying one can't make money with Graphics skills, HELL NO!... What I'm trying to say is not to go into it with the FIRST mindset of making money because A LOT will go wrong.

My advice/Guidelines to you and to all beginners or non-designers who want to venture into Graphics design are:

1) GET THE APPROPRIATE TRAINING: There are enough mediocre in the field already, don't become one of them. The design industry or should I say STREET is extremely cold, it is filled with lots of huddles to scale through, you will need all the right training you can get mentally, physically, and otherwise, or else you'll find yourself in an endless web of frustration.

2) GET A DESIGN MENTOR: Every great man on earth regardless of their profession HAVE a mentor, I can not over-emphasize the importance of getting/having a mentor who you can look up to for guidance, motivation, inspiration, and CRITICISMS. (Mentorship may or may not likely be an individual...) This will help your graphical success journey easier.

3) MASTER INDUSTRY STANDARD TOOLS: Nobody will want to fly a plane piloted by an incompetent pilot who failed his simulated virtual flight. Study the industry-standard tool(s), MASTER IT before you even dream of sorting for jobs. (I'll keep this brief)

4)SHOW/DISPLAY YOUR WORKS: After mastering your tool(s) the next step is to show the world what you have and what you are capable of... all the badass imaginary and dummy designs you've made during those practical periods, shouldn't just rot in your drive... show it to your friends, family, neighbors and possibly enemies too. Utilize the internet/social media to showcase your works and DON'T RELENT.

5)JOIN DESIGN COMMUNITIES: Iron sharpens Iron they say, birds of feather dance zazoo together: There are hundreds of Graphics communities on NET where Graphical ideas are shared. Find a GOOD ONE and join, learn from them, get your designs critique, and MORE...It will help you a lot in self-improvement or also possible job clicks.


6)BUILD A NOTORIOUSLY-BADASS PORTFOLIO: Having a portfolio as a designer is extremely important, it'll save the stress of trying to explain your capabilities to clients, your portfolio will do the talking hence you need a portfolio that speaks PROFESSIONALISM. Use your knowledge as a Designer to create an irresistible online portfolio and your portfolio should contain the BEST of your works. Stack it up online and generate a link you can always send to your prospective clients even when you're sleeping.

BONUS:
This was supposed to be number 1:
KNOW YOUR GRAPHICS NICHE: Graphics is very broad, there are a lot of niches in graphics, and you need to know which one to settle with it. A lot of beginners make the mistake of trying to learn everything at the start, and the end result is mediocrity. Know your niche and build yourself around it.
There are niches like:
*Packaging Design
* Logo Identity
*Branding
*Graphic illustration
*Design Marketing
*Type Design
*Publication
*Web/Ui/UX Design
*Motion Graphics
*Photo manipulations
*Creative strategy and more.

Research on them and know which one you can handle.


Back to your question on how to make money with Graphics Designs....The above are the Guidelines for making money with graphics.

Don't know why I'm pushed to write this epistle, you're lucky.

If you have further questions feel free to ask and pardon my grammars.

Wow... This is beautiful..
Honestly ehn, I love colours and designs but i can never do any myself..
I once paid 5k for a graphic beginner's class ( I mean basic) I ended up doing nothing..

My roommate is into graphics and she's really earning little thing from it but i still don't have any interest..

I can only admire y'all works, but i don't really think i can go into it.....
That's not to say, i am ruling it out though.

I'll be getting myself a laptop by next month and journey from there...

Thank you so very much for this mention...
Feels so good to have someone hit you up for something that will be beneficial to you...
I really appreciate this.

God sees us all


Alright, once I go online on that line I'll respond.

Try print-on-demand websites. Make as much as 10 to 60 designs DAILY using canva.com (usually just catchy 3 words like "just do it").

It's just an experiment but if it works, that is passive income. With the value of Naira against the Dollar, once every 6 months when you withdraw, it would be huge.

Amazon KDP simply deals with writing books as you want.but who has the time to sit rack his/her brain to write? Most people dont ,with the right tools and info you can get content for your book by reading through, rearrange and edit using your smartphone or laptop.
Now imagine you publish a book, which shouldn't take you more than 2hrs or less and you create not WRITE a book in a day multiply by 30days, that 30 books.
Now, let say one of your book sells for $5 and u sell 20 copies per day that $100 in a month and mind you (they pay in$$) and we all know how much is 1$ to naira.
The most amazing part is you don't have to look for buyers, thousands of people go to Amazon site daily to purchase this e_book.
Another thing is when once your book is there, you will continue to make money from there till God knows when.
NB
If you always want free things it not for you.
If you are a lazy person who thinks miracle money will fall on you it also not for you.
For serious minded only.
NB: get the course at a discount price now....
Get the course invite your friends and family and get a COMMISSION.
