168 Why Designers Stay Stuck at $3K Projects (and How to Break Past It)

The Profitable Graphic Designer

If you feel stuck charging two or three thousand per project no matter how good your work is, this episode is for you.

I am breaking down the exact reasons most designers plateau at low rates and how to shift your positioning so you can finally start booking premium clients. High-paying clients are not just buying deliverables. They are investing in transformation, clarity, and confidence. Your offer has to reflect that.

You will learn:

• Why your current offer might be pushing good clients away
• How to position your services for results instead of tasks
• The mindset difference between three thousand and ten thousand dollar designers
• What premium clients are actually looking for
• How to build a focused offer that scales your income

Grab your notebook, hit play, and let’s shift how you think about value so you can finally raise your prices with confidence.
