Fiverr
Fiverr is a well known freelancing site where you can easily promote your services for the price you choose to companies or individuals looking to outsource work.

Entry level Graphic designer job ideas
If you’re new to the graphic design space and are considering becoming a work-from-home graphic designer, here are a few paths you can follow to test and build your skills.
Freelancer
Freelancer is a similar platform to Fiverr – it’s a good place to build up your portfolio and see whether clients are willing to pay for your work. It is a pretty competitive platform, but it’s worth testing. Like Fiverr, you have a profile with your services – the client approaches you with some work and Freelancer manages the payment. You’re able to set your own price depending on how much work you receive and the clients you’re taking on.
Working as a graphic designer is a great job to work from home – you can get paid well and make your creative juices flow all from the comfort of your own home. You have the option of applying directly to a company, but if you’re a beginner it may be smarter to go as a freelancer, build up your portfolio and then apply to work with companies. Test out these different options and see what works best for you!
