@egbokavictory_@Mercy708354461 I get your point, but I don't think being jobless is actually more profitable. Those food and bill expenses don't disappear just because you're unemployed, you still have to pay them somehow. At least with a 100k job, even if it's not enough, you still have some income

I will not bill you probably for months, in fact I will happily support you.
But when I do need your support/I have to bill. My bills usually start from 500k upwards (I bill money I work for and earn).
The one time bill of a financial stable woman is more lethal than the daily bills of a broke woman and if you canโt come through itโs not a problem. I am not dating you for your money. Iโll always sort myself and still love and respect you.
But this is so accurate ๐๐
Regular girls go bill you for shawarma and transport daily, I go bill you a one time long term bill to change my car headlights (check the cost of Mercedes headlights)๐คฃ
Iโve actually tested this myself.
There was a time I charged โฆ50kโโฆ60k per flyer.
But letโs be honest, long term, that model doesnโt really work in Nigeria.
At some point, the client will realize:
โI can get this cheaper elsewhere.โ
Or theyโll just pay a designer monthly on retainer instead.
Thatโs the reality.
Flyer design alone is not a strong standalone service here.
Even the designers charging that range are usually adding motion design or extra deliverables to justify it.
And even with that, the market is still not deep enough yet.
Ask yourself honestly:
How many โฆ100k flyers can you realistically close in a month?
And how many of those clients will come back consistently?
Except youโre working with clubs or entertainment brands, demand is not stable.
So I had to rethink things.
I focused on:
โข Adding more value (motion design, strategy)
โข Targeting international clients
โข And moving into brand design
Now I charge โฆ1M+ per project and donโt need volume to survive.
If youโre a flyer designer:
Donโt just shout โฆ100k pricing because Twitter said so.
Skill up, expand your offer, or reposition.
Because flyer design alone wonโt carry you long term.
Dear God,
Iโve taken losses quietly. Iโve kept going when it didnโt make sense. Now I need a win.. one loud enough to change everything, not just for me, but for those tied to my name.
