Time/week spent: 5h - 10h

The time commitment depends on how many projects you take on. For beginners, expect around 5 – 10 hours per week, which often includes brainstorming, designing, revising, and communicating with clients. As you scale and take on more clients, some designers treat this like a part-time job, dedicating 15 – 20 hours per week or more. If you’re selling pre-made designs, the weekly time requirement can drop significantly since you earn passively once the artwork is uploaded.
