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 ?

If your work is great then advertise. You want a nice website, great portfolio presentations and have them in places like Behance besides your site. Get someone to help you with Marketing on Social Media, email marketing etc. Big Agencies hire freelancers so market to them as well. Connect locally with business in you area through SM, events, etc. Maybe you can desing cards, shirts etc and build a passive income on the side with Amazon, Etsy to mention some that can help too. Not sure what type of designer you are, if branding, packaging, web or all around but there are all these ways and others for you to coonect with potential clients.
