Story:
At the start of 2023, my life took a new turn. While casually scrolling my Google dashboard, I came across a blog post from BeingGuru. Without much thought, I clicked on it and randomly joined a couple of freelancing groups. At that time, I had no idea what freelancing was or who Sir Hisham Sarwar was. Honestly, my only purpose for joining those groups was to collect contact numbers for promoting an MLM business, as I had already wasted two years in MLM during my F.Sc days.
But Allah had better plans for me.
Being from a low-middle-class family, I couldn’t afford to continue my education at a university level. The circumstances weren’t in my favor, and I always felt like doors were closing on me. But I believed one day I would find my path — and I did.
Within a few days of joining those groups, I saw my first short video of Sir Hisham Sarwar. It immediately caught my attention. His words, passion, and clear explanation about freelancing inspired me. I started watching his series of short videos and understood each step like a roadmap towards a better life.
Soon after, I came across a video where he mentioned DigiSkills.pk. I immediately enrolled in their Freelancing and WordPress courses. Alongside that, I joined Moon Creations and completed a Digital Marketing Course under Sir Salahudeen Shah, which proved to be another valuable learning experience.
Then, on 23rd September 2023, a moment I’ll never forget — I landed my first digital marketing client who paid me $230. That day, I realized I had finally found the right path for myself.
Since then, I have continued to learn and grow. I followed Sir Hisham Sarwar on social media, completed his SEO playlist, and consistently improved my skills.
I worked a 9 to 5 job for a year as a Social Media Manager, gaining hands-on experience and deeper insights into the digital marketing world.
Alhamdulillah, today I am the founder of my own digital marketing agency, MA Digital Hub, working with clients from Pakistan, UAE, and the USA. I’ve also started my eCommerce marketing journey in UAE, UK, and Pakistan, managing Meta Ads, Google Ads, and TikTok Ads for various online businesses.
Another achievement close to my heart is launching Connected Kashmir, a community platform aimed at connecting, guiding, and inspiring freelancers in Azad Kashmir, helping them discover freelancing opportunities and resources.
Even though I’m still on my journey, with struggles and lessons along the way, Insha’Allah, one day my story will inspire many others who come from similar backgrounds.
I owe a huge part of my success to Sir Hisham Sarwar, who unknowingly became a mentor and guide for me.
Thank you, Sir, for being a true hero of Pakistan.
