Hello,
I would love to see your portfolio. It doesn't matter how many years of experience you do have, it's how much you grew, what are your skills, how are you positioning yourself.
Try posting on X, LinkedIn, Dribbble, and Behance. Let me know what methods are you trying to showcasing your work?
There are services that offer $4990 & $6490. It all depends on your experience and business position whom you target as your clients.
Yeah probably. These are also some marketing and UX gigs.
Great news. Glad you got some traction.
I do run a DaaS (Design as a Subscription) business. I launched on several platforms like HackerNews, Indie Hackers, Reddit, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
I also don't have many followers on social media. But I got a hit post on Reddit.
I posted a couple of articles on multiple subreddits. Out of them, r/SideProject worked really well. The post got 17k+ views and counting.
I got almost 500+ visitors from that post, but not any conversion yet.
I will give another try to HackerNews.
That's upsetting but True.
These are the little tweaks marketers and UX guys do.
It's not always based on lies, but with twisted facts.
Thank you. You raised a good point 😊
Here's my rational thinking behind this 👇
Before jumping into the pricing section you need to elevate the client's interest to work with you. It can be with your landing page, portfolio, testimonial, or a 15-minute intro call.
Let's talk about pricing, suppose you need to hire a full-time designer and you're from the UK and the US, you need to pay more than $5000 a month even for 2-3 years of experience designer. Plus, you need to provide benefits.
If you're considering hiring remotely from ASIA, nowadays you won't find an experienced designer below $2000, hiring remote designers starts from $2500-$3000 a month.
Plus, hiring full-time might take months to onboard a talented designer, and if you find out he/she is not suitable for you, you can't lay off him within 3-6 months in most cases. Now calculate the financial loss.
Considering hiring a freelancer? 😯
Suppose you need a logo, a business card, a 12-page website, and some marketing materials like Facebook posts, Linkedin posts, etc.
Now you need to look for freelancers, might need to hire 2 freelancers, and need to estimate/bargain each item's price separately. Now calculate the total price, it will be more than $2500.
🏆 Why subscription business is better? 🏅
✅ You can research 10-15 design subscription businesses within a couple of days. Jump into a call with all of them within a week.
✅ If you're not still convinced, I do offer a trial package of 14 days for $490 only. It's super cheap to test out a design agency or 11 years experienced designer like me.
✅ Onboard designer in hours
✅ Get designs within 48 hours
✅ No month-to-month contract, cancel or pause anytime.
I understand your question, but when you connect all these dots you'll find it super cheap and affordable.
Now tell me is my pricing high? 👇
Thank you.
Even if you have one project, you can subscribe to any subscription-based businesses. Like I do provide the option to pause your subscription anytime.
Like you have one project only, after 8 days of subscription the project is completed, we can pause your subscription, so when you have more projects may be after 6 months, you can reach to me and start claiming the remaining 22 days. ❤️

May be you're target audience isn't correct.
I had experience dealing with consumer products. I had to face backlashes when my targeting is incorrect. People starts to misbehave. In that case I don't bother, as they will never be my customers.
Respectfully avoid them.
