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 ?

As a freelancer you need to actively market yourself. Create social media accounts on all platforms like deviantart, facebook, instagram, x, reddit, etc. it is all free to do. Post your work and see what happens. Maybe offer some pro bono work on collaborations to get impressions. Also consider doing niche work, strange and odd stuff to get attention.

What kind of art do you make?
