I Wish Someone Told Me This Side of FREELANCING.
Just like every middle-class boy, I wanted to contribute to my family’s financial responsibilities. It was hard to manage the pressure of studies along with maintaining so-called attendance at college. But the tired faces of my parents pushed me to do something. So, I started consuming content on YouTube about online earning. I binge-watched videos, took notes, and practiced… But this only helped me improve to some extent… I was still far behind actual earning. At that moment, I realized that free value usually shares only bits of information. I was like, “Kyu ek banda mujhe free mein sahi direction dega?” You know the desi mindset talks… Eventually, I purchased a workshop without even bothering to understand market demand. Then I started working on the skill… And struggled to close high-paying clients. Slowly, frustration built up, and the pressure of studies and my final-year thesis led to major gut-health issues. So, I stopped working online. But at the back of my mind, the urge to financially contribute to my family kept burning throughout my recovery. In late 2025, I started practicing the skill again… And I also joined this community. But the real shock was… What I had learned so far was only 40% of the online earning game. The remaining 60% was hidden from my eyes...probably the main reason behind my struggle. And you know… This is what I learned in today’s community class. I truly confess that I was shown only one side of freelancing. The other side was hidden and unclear. That side has now been revealed before my eyes by Haroon Bhai with clarity. He explained every step of freelancing from choosing and learning right skill to client acquisition & communication. So, I highly recommend you all to follow this guy. And I myself vow, through this post, that I will follow each and every step guided here.
