It is either you don't know your worth or you're inexperienced. 10k per month??. Do you know how time consuming it takes.

Olawade24:
Tufiaka 10k per month. I rather signup to any freelance platform and LinkedIn and show case my expertise so that I get paid in dollar in this hyper inflated naija.

OP hold your chest and say this before me:

My father my father!!!
Any thing that will make my hustle be like molue may amadioha kpeme strike it down.

OP for God sake have you recite those lines.

Okay dey play.

You better say it with all seriousness, because is your future we are talking here. Tueh!!!

Dont discourage.him. People send thousands of job aoplications without getting jobs. Every opportunity is a stepping stone for the next opportunity

Create job and pay him high

Op is not saying the truth.

Maybe he edited a zero so as to gain sympathy.

No employer can pay such for a graphic artist.

They are thieves. 30 designs in 1 month is 90 designs in 3 months after which they will tell you they don't want you anymore.

Let him go and join fiverr as a freelance and spend your time there. Even on nairaland I give graphic artists jobs for 25k for one design.

Fiverr you can wait and not get job for a while year. Life is one foot before the next and step by step. Because of this thread people will contact him and give him jobs. Life is in stages and phases. He will get bigger opportunities as he proceeds with his work

I am a designer with years of experience too. When I see people coming to my DM pricing logo 1,500 and flier 3k.

I just laugh and count it as a joke.

10k per month as a graphics designer is very very low. They don't rate you atall.

Except you don't know your worth as a designer

TemplarLandry:
Wow I'm happy for you.
Accept the offer. This will add to your wealth of experience. I like guys like you.

Fados4sure is this your second account? I'm coming for you

Bet 9ja is 1 billion times better

CreedElliot:

I was telling him to know his worth thats all

The pay is obviously poor so just focus on building portfolios by having good designs for reference purposes.

That's the reward of see finish.

That's why it is always good to do these two things:

1. Stay distinctive.
2. Avoid over saturated and over crowded professions/skills.

For a company to offer you 10k, it means that an hungry graphic designer has gone to beg that company for 3k/ month job. I see them everyday on Nairaland. Some of them can offer to design your logo, brand, website, etc., for a cup of garri.

People who don't know their worth, are inexperienced, and too lazy and lukewarm to seek expertise are always a curse to every profession. This is a common trend in nearly all professions without a regulatory body.

You don't know how ruthless some people can be. Some can even coerce you to work for free for them promising you bigger clients

I expected you to drop your portfolio under this thread so people can see your works and refer you.

94emmanuelemmy@gmail.com

Why would I edit a zero?? That's the document as seen. I only covered the company details. also I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm looking for gigs..

FunnyDude:

Since you are a expert not apprentice

10k is too small for one design per day


They should look elsewhere



Never accept it

WeirdAlien:

You are missing the point. They are going to exploit him. 10k a month is the cost of 2 plates of food at a decent restaurant. They are going to get those designs from him and dump him afterwards. They have nothing worth while to offer him if not they will not tell him to produce that amount of work for a pitiable amount.

Fiver is just one of many avenues to make money. The problem is that we think local a lot whereas there is a big whole world out there.

Modern Slavery.

Taking up volunteer remote graphics work/job is even better because you get to network for more opportunities.



Wittyness.

Okey, thank you Sir

bro I design with PC.. I make ise of the following tools perfectly, adobe Photoshop, corel draw, Adobe illustrator, figma and more... And currently learning adobe afterEffeflct for motion graphics.. My only issue is that I currently resides in the northern part of Nigeria where I schooled and served. No much opportunities here but i hope to relocate to Lagos by December. So, I need all the networking and recommendations I can get..

Sorry to say this. It is better you borrow money to buy and create an account on Upwork as a freelancer and get paid per hour for some connects.

How can someone give me $10 for 30 days? I feel pained. People are using the debilitating conditions of others to poise as a bait due to their temporal impoverishment.

Even, as a Forex trader, that's my floating pips per minute.

Boss, please, know your worth. This is worst than a penny; to be honest.

How much will your transport now become?

Some people are heartless as a matter of truth. What is $10 in this economy?

There was a time I rejected an Internship that would pay me ₦45,000. On my way to resuming the first day, I turned back. I said I'm not interested.

You need to bring out the entrepreneur in you!!!

Use Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn...let people know what you do.

I have a startup I'm nurturing too, you can see our services www.emtech.com.ng

We can also connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmanuel-emdis

Getting contracts is my problem for now. That's why I also took that job, with hope to build a portfolio and network..
