My first step to becoming a digital nomad was starting as an entry-level freelance graphic designer. I'm not a well-known graphic designer like many others, but somehow, I managed to learn graphic design through an online class. After a few months of learning, I decided to make some logos and sell them online through a microstock website.
Somehow, people started buying my designs, and I thought to myself, 'Hmm, this is nice.' That’s when I realized—I had stepped into the world of microstock. I kept creating logos and other digital artworks, uploading them to stock platforms. The more I sold, the more motivated I became. Today, I have thousands of designs across several microstock websites
Because it's a source of passive income, I keep earning
every time someone buys my designs, even while I'm asleep. It's like having a
store that's open 24 hours.
Now, I believe that the saying "beauty is in the eye of
the beholder" is true. Every designer has their own style. When it comes
to design, you can't compare one graphic designer to another, just like you
can't compare one famous painter to another—each has their own unique style.
My first microstock websites are Shutterstock and Vecteezy. It’s probably not much, but for me, it’s really good because there are always sales on the website, even though my designs are just average. But once again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Now, everything is up and running. I’ve become a microstocker, and I keep pushing myself to stay productive, consistently creating and uploading digital artworks to stock platforms in order to achieve my goals.
