Some wise words! Thank you so much 😊

I’ve heard! I can imagine that would be a stressful expense as someone self employed - I’m lucky to be living in the UK with free healthcare.

Hi! Thanks so much for watching 😊 my mind was blown when I first achieved it too!! Towards the end of the year I really focussed on working with high-level clients with bigger budgets - also splitting my fee into monthly payments so the income would stack up every month really helped.

She is misleading people. I work for Leo burnett Dubai as a senior art director and I barely make 85.000 usd and I worked in Australia and I was close to make 100k aud which is a good salary there. So take what she says with a pinch of salt. She actually doesn't explain it how just show a calculator and says she makes 10k lol

Hey I think I’ve cleared this up in the other comment you left, but again just to reiterate the fact I’m not talking about a salary of a graphic designer, I’m talking on my own experience as a freelance branding + web designer. When you work for yourself you’re able to set your own rates, find high paying clients etc. I respect your reality may be different to mine as an employee vs me as a freelancer with different services but again I have no reason to make anything up, just want to encourage people :)

Thank you so much! Wishing you so much success in your career for 2023 🤍🤍

Thank you for watching! 🥰

Hi there, I wasn’t sure whether to respond to this or not as it’s rather an aggressive comment. I just want to make it very clear that I have no reason to make how much I earn up, I said in this video that I was weary to speak about money as I know it’s a touchy subject, so maybe I have opened myself up to receiving a comment like this. I also want to remind you, I set my own rates and I don’t have a salary paid by an agency so I’m not speaking on a typical salary of a graphic designer at a company. I offer branding, web design and web development services and work with a variety of clients - I have my dream clients that are in specific niches but I also do work for corporate clients who have budgets upwards of £10k for a project as they usually have investors and money to spend, I’ve built up connections and a network that also refer me great projects. I worked my ass off last year and took on a lot of projects and therefore was able to earn what I earned. I have friends in the design community that have earned much more than this so it’s confusing that you think it is so out of reach. I share this to let people know that this is something achievable. Hope this has cleared that up for you.

​@@shahilson Sorry I didn't want to come off as rude but I would like to understand how a designer who makes a 6 figures salary doesn't have a full fledge website with the high-end clients and projects you say you have in your video. It raises a lot of questions considering your short experience, which is not bad or wrong. Maybe a breakdown of how you budget your projects or making a full case study would give a better idea of how you have managed to hit the 6 figures number. Thanks

I completely understand your train of thought, but there are so many ways to make a living as a branding + web designer! My clients don’t often find me on google, which is why my website hasn’t really been updated with all projects etc (when I get busy the last thing on my mind is updating my own website) and it’s not my biggest lead generator. As mentioned above a lot of my clients come through referrals and finding me on social media. I think my above comment explains the scope of work and kinds of projects I do so that should help you understand how I’m able to earn those numbers. But yes in the future I’m happy to break this all down more :) have a lovely day
