Very few are going to pay that much just for graphic design. But you can add on services that work along with your graphic design to get to that amount. Things like social media management. Use your designs as ads for businesses, help with creating a business brand, learn how to do basic marketing, and learn website design. These are the additions you will need to start making that per month.

I’ve been a social media manager for over a year now and have only had one client paying close to that as most of my clients are newer businesses or smaller scale. Eventually, I’ll have the analytics behind me so I can approach larger businesses, and $1500 will be low-end.
