📢 $1,000 Challenge – Progress Update (Day 1)
Date: 1 December 2025 Time Closed: 10:43 PM Assalamu Alaikum everyone, Alhamdulillah, I’m excited to share that I closed my first deal of this challenge, a $300 order. Payment Details: - $200 upfront received today - $100 remaining (client will pay after payday) - Since my PayPal is registered in the UK, I received £144, which equals $200 As promised, I’ll also post the screenshot of the payment. How I Got This Client: Today, I used Twitch for client hunting. Here’s exactly what I did: 1. Went to the Games section and selected Fortnite 2. Found streamers currently live 3. Cold DMed 17 people with a short, clear pitch 4. Closed 1 client from these cold messages My Pitch: Here’s the message I used (and you can use it too): “Hey! I’m a digital artist who creates custom mascots, logos, overlays, and branding specifically for gamers and streamers. I checked your channel and I think I can create something clean and professional that fits your style. If you’re looking to upgrade your branding, I’d love to help.” She replied, showed interest, and I added her on Discord to understand her requirements in detail. How I Closed $300 Instead of $200: Her budget was $200, but I was confident in my work and experience. I told her directly: “I don’t work below $300 for mascot logos, because the quality, detail, and time I put into each design is much higher than standard.” The confidence worked. She immediately felt I was a legit artist who knows his value and she paid the $200 upfront without hesitation. This is why confidence + clarity + niche experience = higher income. Alhamdulillah, this challenge has officially begun.$300 out of $1,000 achieved. More updates coming daily. 🚀🔥 @Haroon Khalil 📸 Proof of Payment
