Some of the best advice I have received, is not to answer the question "How do I find higher paying clients", but "How do higher paying clients find me?"
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
Hi Ran. This was solid. It resonates with what ChrisDo and TheFutur team have been saying. "People hire people who know and trust." It's about creating relationships and there is no shortcut to that.
Rich clients mostly from Western Europe North America and Asia but also in Moscow and some part of Russia , if they love my hard works , they will pay me a lot , keep those friends closer than anybody else .
This what really helpful! From what I've read of other graphic designer's experiences, your first client's are gonna be a kick in the balls, because family and friends are gonna want to charge you little to nothing. I thought this was false, till I had a friend reach out to me for a design, and then back out, because he didn't want to pay $50. I just started and I don't plan on pricing that low to future clients(going to start at 450), but it shows how graphic designers are underappreciated. Just have to continue reaching out to people and slowly moving up the ladder! Pumped for the journey! P.S. This isn't sarcasm haha.
True. There are high paying clients here in India too. Lot of freelancers don't understand that here. I only realized that while working as an intern at an agency here.
AGREE 100% It took me several years to discover this, great that you have noticed this situation and that you have shared it, saving a lot of time and frustration to young designers!
@@Tonemind It depends. I've done it numerous ways. 1 in a 100 would be more of a blanket tactic. And even then I'm being a bit dramatic. More than 1 in 100 people will respond with interest for sure. But if you send 100 e-mails as a relative start up designer and 1 person hires you. I don't think you're doing to bad. But it also depends on how specialized your niche is and how much research you have done to find companies worth contacting. My comment was mostly to provide a bit of insight for people that may not have tried cold calling ( cold e-mailing ) before so that they don't get discouraged with a lack of interest in their services. It does work. But expect to contact a lot of people that are not interested. It would be awesome to hear a bit about your experiences. I think it's great to give any advice you might have. My career has transformed tremendously because of the information provided but others on the internet!
very good video. Its good to say the truth rather than fake it because above all you have to cultivate the nessesary mentalite and you cannot fake that
I have some kind of problem. I provide design services on a Services provider Site, to say so. 90% of clients from there I saw that they think the design is cheap or must be. So they don t invest to much in this. They always search for the low price... So in their terms.. you need to have a low price, but do quality work and much work. If you raise the price.. no clients. So how can i proceed? No, i do not provide services on fiverr :)
Hey mate. I started off my design career on a place like that - Upwork. And it's true, most of the clients there are looking for very low prices and they are fine getting bad results. But I still had several clients who were looking for premium work and were happy to pay higher prices. What Ran says, very much applies to there as well. If you try to compete with prices, then that's what you are offering, cheap service. And those high paying clients are instantly filtering everyone out for their low prices. Sounds surprising but it's true. As Ran said, they are looking for similar people. So if they have a business where they charge $5,000-10,000 for a website. Then they won't trust anyone who offers to design and build a site for 500 dollars. Just like they have a maximum budget in their head, they also have a minimum they won't go under. Funnily enough, most freelancers on platforms like that like to shoot themselves in the foot this way. And I understand why. Because they themselves judge their worth based on where they come from, what social circles they are in and how much money they are themselves willing to pay for goods and services. If I'm not willing to pay for a haircut more than 15 bucks, than I'll probably won't charge people 100 bucks an hour for my services. Because I'm gonna feel like I'm ripping them off and I don't deserve it. The bottom line is, you yourself have to become a high paying client for the services you pay, be it haircuts, restaurants, or what not. This will rewire your brain and how you show yourself to the world. And in no time, other people like you (high paying clients) will take notice.
First channel I watch every day. What about the McDonalds approach? Lots of small clients and make passive income from the web hosting? Or partnering with other designers who have the fancy office and location? I literally am sitting at home in my underwear working for a high-end client today.

For first, i need to find PAYING CLIENTS.
Lmao
You can brute force it and use twitter to find people searching for your service
You might need to dm like 200 guys to get 1 sale though

This is the best answer I wasn't expecting. Truly helpful. Net-worth is key

You should show them what you did to other rich clients
@@othmane-mezian Thx , try to find

Now that’s some brutal honesty and it’s very appreciated

Might be true Jaldeep but also a fact they are paying a handsome amount to a renowned agency but reluctant to pay well a freelancer/consultant.
This is Awesome... True Talk 👍
I'm from India and I really loved your advice. I can make use of this advice. Thanks for sharing this information.
AGREE 100%
It took me several years to discover this, great that you have noticed this situation and that you have shared it, saving a lot of time and frustration to young designers!
Have you ever sent cold emails or contacted businesses who hadn't messaged or known you beforehand in order to get new work?
Yes, and it's worked, I was hoping he'd have more ideas or insights on that if we are not in the big cities or whatever
Just do it a lot! Expect 1 in 100 to be somewhat interested. At least thats how it has worked for me.
@@otmea1 100 seems a bit excessive, are you mailing a blanket message broadly or more focused and tailored messages per individual?
@@Tonemind It depends. I've done it numerous ways. 1 in a 100 would be more of a blanket tactic. And even then I'm being a bit dramatic. More than 1 in 100 people will respond with interest for sure.

It works for me, all of my business is from outreach.
This is such good insight! Thanks for the tips, Ran.
THis was really helpful thanks

This was so good! Fresh prospective!
Why the video has the title "How To Find High Paying Clients" and after 40 sec you say that the we should rephrase the question?
Because it draws in the people who are looking for the answer to that question but aren't aware its the wrong question to ask.
@@jolly_wally There is no wrong question, only wrong answer!
