How To Get Graphic Design Clients in 2025, Freelance Designer, Graphic Design, Client Work

[Diego_Cabrera]

As a freelance web designer/dev these were really good tips to hear. Especially the networking part, this is immensely value when it comes to freelancing.

As a Black graphic designer and illustrator, it's cool to see design specific content from a fellow Black designer!

I finally think I have my niche! This was really helpful, I was motivated before but I’m feeling even more excited to get into

To land clients in 2025, cold emailing will no doubt be pivotal. I have been on this journey for a while, and seriously, Mystrika made it sooo smooth for me. Setting up email sequences and tracking them is a cinch with their user-friendly interface. Also, having detailed analytics has made strategic adjustments easier. Let me tell you, the comprehensive analytics and subsequences are game-changers when trying to crack into new client portfolios. The single fee for a lifetime use? I mean, that is a no-brainer. Honestly, Mystrika should be on your radar if you are serious about success in cold email.

Ha, I did get something new right from the beginning of the video, in the 10 years I’ve been working freelance (and now panicking that clients are disappearing), it never once occurred to me that my clients or shop customers cared one bit about who I am as a person, I’m self-absorbed like that, so that was gold and I should try to do more of that, thank you for the valuable advise!

Hate networking… hahahaha! Yes, that and marketing, I’m right there, that’s why I don’t succeed in life.

I've been freelancing since 2, 5 years now, and I love it!

Excellent information. Especially for young people just starting out. Especially the topic about having a 'niche' [focus] and not trying to do everything! I have subscribed to your channel.

I really appreciate your videos! I took notes on this one! I’m a freelance graph designer and photographer from Fayetteville, NC, but I’m also a writer, designer and photographer for a news paper in the city. Finding the balance of client work and 9-5 design work is insanely tricky but I’ve learned a lot from your videos, can’t wait for more!
