Introduction
Hi Everyone, Thanks for visiting Freelance Hero Pakistan! I’m thrilled to share my freelancing journey to inspire and motivate you to push forward in your career, just as Sir Hisham Sarwar’s platform has encouraged me. My story is proof that starting small with dedication can lead to life-changing success.
Who am I?
My name is Saleha, a social media content writer and copywriter from Pakistan. I started freelancing on Fiverr in 2019, initially as a university student. During the pandemic, when universities shut down, I enrolled in an online course on content creation through DigiSkills.pk, where I first learned what freelancing truly is. As part of an assignment, I created a Fiverr profile offering article writing. That small step, taken from my home in Pakistan, sparked a journey I never imagined would lead me to a six-figure income.
Life-Changing Time
My freelancing journey began with a $5 order for a short blog article in 2019. That small win felt massive, it was proof I could earn money online while balancing my studies. Inspired, I dove deeper, spending nights perfecting my gig descriptions and studying top Fiverr sellers. I expanded into scriptwriting and content writing, learning SEO and keyword strategies through DigiSkills and online videos. By 2021, my YouTube scripts were driving thousands, even millions, of views for clients, and my articles were ranking on Google’s first and second pages, boosting client websites. These milestones showed me the power of persistence.
Very Tough Times
The road wasn’t always smooth. Balancing university and freelancing was exhausting, with late nights spent tweaking gigs. Some clients gave vague or demanding requests, and a few canceled orders, which hurt my ratings and confidence. Competing with countless sellers on Fiverr felt overwhelming, especially during tough academic semesters. But each challenge taught me valuable lessons: clear communication, setting expectations upfront, and staying patient. My faith and family’s support kept me grounded, and I prayed to Allah for strength to push through these tough times.
Conclusion
By the time I graduated in 2021, Fiverr had become a steady income source, connecting me with clients worldwide. My focus on quality content, SEO, and excellent communication turned one-time buyers into long-term partners. I built my own team that covers everything from content writing to creating videos, allowing us to handle growing demand and deliver impactful content for brands. Today, I’ve earned a six-figure income on Fiverr, fulfilled all the criteria for the Top Rated Seller badge, and gained the freedom to work on my terms. Alhamdulillah, my hard work and trust in Allah’s plan transformed my life. Even with AI tools reshaping the industry, I stay ahead by learning SEO and GEO daily, proving the human touch still matters.
Advice
My journey taught me that success comes from hard work, patience, and consistency. Start small, even if it’s a $5 gig, and keep learning—whether through DigiSkills or online resources. Stay updated with trends like AI, and always deliver extra value to your clients; that little effort can turn them into loyal partners. As I always say:
“Stay on the first page of skills, not the sidelines of life. Embrace change, hustle daily, and trust that Allah rewards persistence with Rizq-e-Halal!”
Don’t stay in your comfort zone, hustle, learn, and make things happen. The choice is yours!
