In that video, the guy shared how he earned $100 using Canva by designing Instagram posts.
Out of curiosity, I messaged a restaurant owner on Instagram.
He replied.
He said he would pay me per post. Every day he would send me an item name, and I would design the post using Canva. I already had Canva Pro.
I started doing this regularly. Month after month, I kept sending posts and earning money.
Later, I started experimenting with AI tools that have image generation.
Now I generate only the food item using AI. Everything else, restaurant name, address, Instagram handle, logo, I add in Canva.
Over time, I ended up creating a single master prompt that can generate the full poster with proper titles and layout direction. I just need to drop in the restaurant logo.
At this point, around 99% of the work is done by AI.
Because of that, freelancing has become much easier for me. I spend less time designing and more time finding new clients.
If anyone’s curious about the prompt, I’m happy to share it.
