How to Make Passive Income As a Graphic Designer

I started to focus on making passive income as a graphic designer in 2021, in 2022 I made an average of $5,000 a month. Passive Income as a designer is super easy to make and really life changing, yet it is not a topic that is talked about in design school. This video is an introduction to passive income for designers and my personal thoughts and experience on the topic.

Love seeing a non 'click bait' video on passive income for graphic designers!! Would love to see more designers tap into creating true value through quality rather then using AI rout to 'make money fast. Thank you for sharing!! Would love to see you share a little more of your personal knowledge in selling quality digital products on various platforms. And thank you! Subscribed ^^

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

hey, thanks for the kind words, I really do try and focus on quality content. I have a video out on the different platforms I sell on and the top 5 that made the most money in 2022

[@nimbusnina]

Lol, literally got a AD on this video from one of those "Get rich fast with AI" bros

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

haha I figured that might happen a lot given the content of my Chanel. I am all about the get rich slow scheme. WHEN IT COMES TO MONEY EASY COME EASY GO. @@nimbusnina

This is genuinely the only video I’ve found that is super authentic and not frustrating to watch. I’ve been trying to get out of my corporate job because I just don’t think I’m built for that lifestyle. It genuinely makes me so depressed and exhausted and I would love to focus on working for myself while also having multiple streams of passive income to access financial and mental stability. Here’s to hoping. But anyways, I love your vibes man! thank you so much for the inspiration and i hope you’re doing well ❤️‍🔥🙌

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

hey that means a lot, I really try to just be as generous as I can with what I have learned Good luck and thanks for the support

[@danbartley1942]

This is such a great video! It's so encouraging to see these concepts not being coveted or kept secret, thanks so much!

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

hey, nice to hear you liked the video. Glad I could shed a little light on the topic, and thanks for the support.

[@RodrigoKormann]

First time here on the channel. I loved your content. It seemed you were talked with a friend at a café. It is so honest. This kind of business is something I'm considering for a long time but I never went deep in to the subject. I've been struggling with burnout and impostor syndrome and if I could really start doing that would help me. I'm tired of giving my blood to help others achieve their dreams while feeling that I can be laid off anytime because I'm not part of their equation anymore. But of course there is the other side of the coin: it's all on you. Thank you so much for this. You've got a subscriber!

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

Hey, Glad to hear the content resonated. and thanks for the support LMK how things go for you.

[@QuintonMcReynolds]

Great video

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

Thanks, I do what I can. LMK if there are any other topics you want me to talk about.

[@gjlgjl]

The thumbnail makes it look like there's a book mentioned in or related to the video

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

oh sorry about that. no, I don't think I have ever read any books specifically on passive in come and graphic design. I have had a few colleges read the book "the four hour work week" and I think that is a lot about passive income if you are interested.

[@gjlgjl]

@@ExtraCreditDesignClub On a second look I think it's the poster in the photo and maybe the thumbnail design next to it that appear book-like. Great video nonetheless

[@MattSullivanDesign]

You got your portfolio online? Would love to check it out.

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

[@daveedajane]

I creates and designs Digital Branding and Marketing Templates to help female entrepreneurs I designs from scratch even though I uses Clip arts and stock photos to help my designs

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

Nice, I have tested out templates for a bit but I am in love with fonts too much not to dedicate myself to them.

[@daveedajane]

@@ExtraCreditDesignClub I always wanted to create fonts

[@YesMikeDiazzzz]

What website do you use to earn passive income?

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

I sell on Etsy, Creative Market, YouWorkFotThem, Envato Elements, Monotype, Behance, My Own Website, and a few random others that just to a few bucks a month.

[@Fresh_K]

Why the hell are we on 2.9k for such informative content after 6 months 🤔 Otherwise this is one of the most valuable pieces of content I have ever come across on graphic design. I have been considering stock photography for graphic designers in my country as it is a challenge for me personally. Just the motivation I needed, thanks 🙏🏾💯🤝🏾

[@ExtraCreditDesignClub]

thanks for the love! I'm just getting started, people haven't found out how helpful I am yet. ahah but it's starting to get some momentum.
