You design the things a small business needs to look trustworthy: a logo, social media posts, flyers, menus, price lists and business cards.
Who pays: salons, restaurants, spaza shops, churches, NGOs, event organisers, tutors and new start-ups.
Three ways to sell
- Fixed packages: for example a logo with a business card, or a flyer.
- Monthly packages: a set number of social media posts every month. This is where steady income comes from.
- Marketplaces such as Fiverr and Upwork: useful for practice and overseas clients, but crowded at the cheap end.
A good sign: one paid project from a business you contacted within three to four weeks.
