So I am really disppointed being a designer, I am hardly making $1K per month as a freelance graphic designer with more than 5 yeears of experience. Still I am unable to make a good income. What advice would you give ?

Honestly you can make more money as an entry level employee at Amazon

How is this possible? Can you explain how to go about it?

I work a Reduced Time (36 hours over 3 days) shift schedule instead of Full Time (40 hours over 4 days), and pick up an extra 10 hour shift for 46 hours, and still have 3 days off most weeks. I do go for 2 extra shifts where I can to provide more for my kids, and sometimes I just don’t get any extra shifts so there are lower pay weeks during those times. But overall I’m making good money working as an entry level employee. If you’re interested in working for Amazon even just long enough to better align yourself within your chosen field or get more education (Amazon pays for some college too), we can chat about it. Otherwise I don’t see a point in dumping all the details on Reddit.

First congrats on making 1k per month doing freelancing. Target people whom quality matters the most. I know many Indians and Pakistanis are charging more money than US people and yet they are getting lot of work because of their quality.
