Making a set of product images with AI for a friend: an 80-yuan first order and two referrals
The author used AI to make a set of product images for a friend and quoted 80 yuan for the first order; the friend was satisfied and referred two more clients. The author sees the first order as a way to earn a portfolio and reputation. Whether the 80 yuan was received, how many images were made and whether the two referrals became orders were not disclosed.
The story
The author says a friend asked the author a few days ago to use AI to make a set of product images. When the friend asked how much the author charged, the author said 80 yuan on the spot. After delivery the friend was quite satisfied and referred two more clients.
Looking back, the author feels the cheap first order was not a loss but an entry ticket. In a follow-up reply the author chose “low prices first to build volume”, writing that the first order was not about making money but about getting a portfolio and word of mouth, and that having work to show gives the author confidence in pricing.
The sources do not say whether the 80 yuan has been received, how many product images were made, or whether the two referred clients placed orders. Someone asked whether it was a full set or a single image; no answer from the author was seen at the time of reading, so this record keeps the original wording “a set of product images”.
