How I Turned My Free Time into Money by Learning Canva (And You Can Too!)


Have you ever thought… “I want to earn money, but I don’t know any skills”?


Well, I was there too.


Hi, I’m Siddhi — a college student juggling studies, family, and big dreams. I always wanted to be independent and earn, but had  zero idea where to start I had no budget. No expert training. Just a phone, internet, and a desire to learn.

One day, while watching YouTube, I came across Canva – a free design tool. I was curious. Could I really design something useful?

So I tried.


🎨 First, I made a YouTube thumbnail.
📌 Then a Pinterest pin.
📚 Then a simple ebook cover.

At first, it was fun. Then, it became a skill.
And now? It’s slowly becoming my source of income.

💡 Here’s how I started from zero and now earn with Canva:

1. Learn for Free


I started with YouTube tutorials. I watched 10-minute videos, practiced them immediately, and kept repeating.









2. Practice Daily


Every day I opened Canva and made one thing – a post, a reel cover, a business card, or a T-shirt design for Redbubble.

3. Started Freelancing


I joined Fiverr and added my services – “I will design YouTube thumbnails” and “I will create Pinterest pins”.

I didn’t get orders instantly. But I kept sharing my designs on Pinterest and my friends noticed.
