The Profitable Graphic Designer

157 What Separates $3K Designers from $10K+ Designers


Listen Later

Most designers stay stuck at $3K projects because they’re pricing wrong, targeting the wrong clients, and positioning themselves as just another freelancer. The difference between a $3K designer and a $10K designer isn’t design skills. It’s how they run their business. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what separates the two with real examples you can apply today.

You will learn:

  • Why pricing by hours or deliverables is killing your income
  • How to position your services so clients happily pay $10K or more
  • What high-paying clients actually care about (it’s not your portfolio)
  • How to stop selling logos and start selling solutions
  • The mindset shift that helped me go from $3K to $12K projects


Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to redefine how you run your design business!
