The Freelancer's Six-Week Scramble
Back to All ChallengesThe Challenge
Your biggest client just dropped you, rent is due in six weeks, and all you've got is 60 designs on your laptop that have never been sold.
Your Mission
You're Priya, a freelance graphic designer who just lost your biggest client — a local real estate agency that accounted for $2,400 of your $3,100 monthly income. You have $3,800 left in savings and rent of $1,150 due in six weeks. You've got a portfolio of 60+ designs sitting on your laptop — floral patterns, motivational quote layouts, birthday invitation templates — but they were all made for that one client and aren't set up to sell. A friend told you people make $500/month or more selling printable wall art, social media templates, and custom invitation designs on Etsy, and that AI can help you write the listings. You've never sold anything online. You need to pick your strongest designs, figure out how to reformat them as digital downloads, write Etsy listing titles and descriptions that actually show up in search and convince people to buy, and get your first 10 products live within two weeks so you have any chance of making rent. You have Canva (free tier), your Adobe Illustrator files, and access to ChatGPT.
