Hi 

As a graphic designer, I need a project to keep me busy. But the status quo I haven't received an order for 5 months. How should I get through this? Hope the world's top sellers guide me in the direction.

Sincere thanks

You could change “I” to “client” 😉 

it’s not about YOU needing projects to keep you busy, it’s about what can you offer to clients to solve their pain points. 

People who sell always come from researching their target audience and what THEY need, not you. If you haven’t sold anything in 5 months it’s a good indication that your offer, price or style is not what clients are looking for. So it’s time to rethink your offer

We all like orders. What steps have you been taking to convince your target customers to hire you?

Then change the status quo. What are you waiting for?

Connect to your target customers, and convince them to hire you. Experiment with you gigs/services until you find what appeals to your unique target customers, and gives them reason to hire you to solve their graphics design problems. Stop waiting for things to happen to you, and find creative, ambitious, and determined ways to make them happen as a result of the actions you choose to take.

In short..... start thinking like a businessman, because, as a freelancer, that's what you need to be.

Thanks for the suggested steps, I just need a realistic plan and steps to change at the moment.
