Most designers are stuck chasing clients.

The designers at the top that you look up to?

Yeah, clients come to them—ready to pay the premium prices.

Today, I am going to teach you all about the ‘authority effect’ as a graphic designer. It’s a simple, yet powerful system that I have created that makes you become the authoritative figure in your niche.

This works for all niches. Whether it be:

  • Brand Identity Design

  • Packaging

  • UI/UX

It literally doesn’t matter what your niche is.

What you are about to learn in this e-mail works.

This newsletter is not about travelling. But recently I’ve found one of my main purposes in life — wanderlust and discovery.

‘The Authority Effect’ has allowed me to visit 9 countries in the past 8 months (that’s around 1 country every month) because I’ve applied it to my graphic design business to become the ‘go-to’ designer in my niche.

You don’t need 10,000 followers to make this work. You can make it work today.

Ready?

Ok, let’s change your life…

🔥 Why Authority Matters More Than Skill

I honestly don’t care how good of a designer you think you are. Or for that matter how good others think you are.

This is not what this is about.

Look through all the examples where clients have hired designers. They don’t just hire the best designer.

If this were the case, I’d be broke and have no clients wanting to work with me because every client would hire Sagi Haviv, or make an enquiry to Pentagram — The world's largest independent design consultancy

Clients hire designers based on the designer that they trust the most while also working within how much money they are willing to spend.

Where does trust come from?

You might have guessed it. Authority.

If you’re somebody who is constantly justifying your prices, struggling to get clients, or competing with low ball offers on Fiverr, then you don’t have a design problem.

You have an authority problem.

The good news? You don’t need to work for 13+ years like I have as a graphic designer to make yourself visible.

You gain authority by applying these 3 Authority Levers I am going to outline in this e-mail.
