I'm Hamna, and I refuse to work at PKR 2/word as a writer. I can't churn out 3000 words a day for a PKR 40,000/- salary. I don't use ChatGPT to complete my tasks. I don't copy and paste stuff. √ Here's what I do: → I research competitors → I research content gaps → I fact-check what I write → I quote industry experts → I think & plan every step → I quote stats and studies → I research SEO keywords → I optimize all the content → I delete fluff & repetition → I proofread & make edits → I format & arrange drafts I write with sincerity & passion. I write to pay my bills, and I work very hard! Yet, you think I'm someone who presses a button and magic happens. Creativity cannot be automated via a prompt. My words are heavier on paper than a million $ AI tool. √ Your marketing will fail without what I bring to the table. → What I write generates leads → What I write helps your audience → What I write attracts your audience → What I write helps you bring dollars home No, I don't deserve your sympathy. Pay me what I deserve. √ Offering me RS 2/word is an insult to my craft. But if you understand how much you need me, you'll pay me what I'm worth. → Fresh: At least or more than 4 PKR per word → Mid-level: At least or more than 6 PKR per word → Senior: At least or more than 10 PKR per word The same goes for the salary structures. These should be at least: → Entry-level writer: PKR 65,000 → Mid-level writer: PKR 75,000-80,000 → Senior-level writer: PKR 100,000-130,000 → Ebook writer (Junior): PKR 90,000-100,000 → Ebook writer (Senior): PKR 130,000-150,000 → Copywriter: PKR 100,000. Add per experience → Content Editor: PKR 150,000. Add per experience These numbers are still far less than what you earn by selling my words. Trust me, I know the math. √ I'm just making a reasonable and practical bargain. No, don't confuse me with those phony, pseudo, wanna-be AI writers. The rates I'm advocating are for writers who: → Research extensively → Write grammatically correct → Understand the guidelines → Create 100% original content → Create 100% organic content If I meet the criteria, you'll pay me what I deserve. I'll go the extra mile for you, do revisions, and make you happy. I'd expect you to reward me fairly—if not handsomely. √ If you find someone like me, quoting you less... Trust me, they're nothing like me. You can go ahead, assign them projects and regret later. I'll not compromise on the quality I deliver However, I'll also not compromise on my livelihood. I'm non-negotiable when it comes to that. :)

Zahid Yousaf is a proactive Software Engineer at Devsinc who transitioned from Ruby on Rails to .NET, emphasizing the importance of core concepts and market-relevant skills. We had an insightful conversation with him regarding his career journey. It went like this: "𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐮𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨?" "Absolutely! I started out with a strong focus on Ruby on Rails (ROR). However, after spending considerable time working on Full-Text Search (FTS) projects, I began to notice that the complex nature of these projects was limiting the scope of ROR in the current market. It was clear to me that to stay relevant and grow my career, I needed to diversify my skill set." "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲?" "The turning point came when I decided to explore .NET. I started working on a project with Hobby DB, and through this experience, I discovered how much I enjoyed working with .NET. This realization prompted me to delve deeper into this technology and make it a significant part of my skill set." "𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠?" "When I encounter blockers, I have a few go-to strategies. First, I often turn to ChatGPT for quick insights and solutions. Additionally, I make it a point to consult the official documentation and immerse myself in extensive research. This multi-faceted approach helps me overcome challenges and continue making progress." "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?" "My advice to newbies is to focus on mastering the core concepts. It's essential to build a strong foundation in the basics because it makes adapting to new languages and technologies much easier. Also, stay aware of market trends and skill up in languages that have a growing scope. The software development landscape is volatile, so being adaptable is key. Strengthening your core concepts will always give you a solid base to pivot from when necessary."

Time Zone Issue on HyperOS Redmi Note 13 I’ve been facing an issue with my HyperOS Redmi Note 13 where the timezone keeps changing from Pakistan Standard Time (GMT+5) to Brasilian Time (GMT+3) on its own. This is causing problems with my reminders and scheduled tasks. This shows how important Localization Testing is for ensuring a smooth user experience. It’s not just about translations but making sure things like time zones work correctly for different regions. Xiaomi Technology , please fix this! It’s really affecting how we use the device. Anyone else facing this issue? #LocalizationTesting #UserExperience #SoftwareTesting #HyperOS #RedmiNote13 #Xiaomi

Thank you, PAFLA - Pakistan Freelancers Association and Google for this great opportunity to learn and grow. As we know today's competitive environment, strong communication skills and personal branding are vital for success. The Google Soft Skills Program offered essential frameworks to develop strong abilities like communication skills and personal branding. Some main points of this course are written below: 1. 💬 To deliver powerful messages, keep the 7Cs in mind: Correct, Clear, Courteous, Complete, Concrete, Coherent, and Concise. Mastering these concepts will enable you to express your ideas with confidence and professionalism. 2.💡 For interpersonal skills grasping the four social style groups: Analytical, Driver, Amiable, and Expressive—can be impressive. But we can adjust our communication methods to connect more effectively with clients and colleagues. 3. ⌛Time management is efficiently crucial for freelancers balancing various projects. Learning to prioritize tasks and set realistic goals can enhance our productivity and help us meet deadlines. 4. 🤩By crafting a robust personal brand it distinguishes us in a saturated market. It involves highlighting our unique skills and passions, making us stand out to potential clients. By implementing the insights and strategies we can enhance collaboration, and create a distinct professional identity, ultimately leading to a successful freelance career. 🔖

From 300 PKR to Pursuing my Dreams! This is my advice for everyone out there. Starting from a small level is completely okay. But you need to dream big. Dream big while working hard to accomplish your goals. Four years ago, I was searching for jobs on Facebook. Back then, Facebook Writing Groups were a great resource to find jobs. I was bidding on every content writing gig. It was tough. I got rejected several times, but I didn't stop. Finally, I got a response. I told him I was a beginner, but he gave me a chance. That moment it changed everything. I poured my heart and soul into that project. I took a whole day to write 800 words. The client appreciated my work. He offered me a paid project. From that day forward, I was unstoppable. Each project became a stepping stone towards my aspirations. And with every success, my motivation soared higher. Today, as a top-rated writer on Upwork,  I reflect on that humble beginning with gratitude. It taught me resilience, grit, and the power of perseverance. Your journey may start small but with dedication, it can lead to extraordinary destinations. P.S. What’s your story? Tell me in the comments. Has Google deranked your blog last month? Don’t panic, and DM “blog” to get started. The exclusive 20% discount is ending soon. #hafsawrites #blogwritingforfounders #blogwritingforwebsites #writingindustry #storyofawriter
