Week 3–4: Create your first portfolio piece. A design you made. An article you wrote. Even for free at first.

Month 2: Create profiles on Fiverr and Upwork. Start at low prices to build reviews. Your first client is the hardest.

Month 3+: Raise your rates as reviews build. Aim for Rs 30,000–80,000/month within 6 months — this is realistic and many Pakistani women achieve it.
