Selling your designs on Printivo is worth it. Being a graphic designer in Nigeria can be challenging. After years of learning and perfecting your graphic design skills, you’re now ready to start taking clients, only to struggle to find clients.

And then you find a client, they want you to create a logo of a lion swimming in river while carrying a burning pot on their head. You’re excited to get started, only to realize that what they’re willing to pay you for your efforts and creativity is , a mere 2,000 Naira. Sounds familiar, right? Having to pour in hours of creativity and effort into a client’s work, but get paid a fraction of what the designs are worth. The frustration is real, and it’s easy to wonder if there’s a better way to earn an income from your skills without constantly chasing clients or burning out. Well, recently I discovered Printivo, a platform that allows designers like you make extra income by showcasing and selling their designs directly to customers. Through Printivo’s marketplace, you can upload your artwork to be printed on popular products, from business cards to mugs, and each time someone purchases a product with your design, you earn a royalty. Each time a customer uses your design on products like business cards, mugs, or t-shirts, you earn 15% of the order value. Printivo’s setup not only helps you showcase your work to a wider audience but also lets you build a passive income stream as customers continue to buy and use your designs.
