Graphics designing is one of the skills I would always recommend to anyone who really wants to be successful on the internet because it is a very lucrative skill whether you decide to work online or offline. I know someone who is a graphic designer and he works offline and he probably makes a lot of money from it because everyone doing an event within our vicinity always patronizes him.

You just have to network for friends in different areas and they would probably recommend a lot of people to you. Before then you must make sure that you have proper knowledge and understanding of how graphics designing works in order to be professional because that can attach a lot of people to you.

As a graphic designer, you can also venture into several platforms and stand a chance of making some good amount of money for yourself. Just venturing into freelancing platforms will not guarantee you making money immediately because there are several things you need to know in order to get jobs on different freelancing platforms.

YouTube can be of a great help to you in securing your first job as a graphic designer in different freelancing platforms.
