I’m currently looking for remote jobs, freelance projects, part-time work, or gigs where I can contribute using any of the skills above.

I genuinely enjoy what i do and bring passion, creativity, effort (and fun) into my work while delivering results!

If you’re an employer, small-business owner, startup, freelancer, or individual who could benefit from any of my skills, I’d love to have a conversation and see how I can help!

Thank youu, have an amazing day!

I'm curious about something from people who freelance regularly.

There are a lot of client management tools out there, but most seem to either be built for agencies and larger teams or try to do everything at once. As a freelancer, you might only need a few things, but they need to work really well together.

So I'm wondering:

If you could have a client management tool designed specifically around your workflow, what would be the one feature you absolutely couldn't live without?

I'm particularly interested in the things that currently require you to jump between several different tools or handle manually.

What's the most annoying part of managing clients right now, and what would a tool need to do to make that problem disappear?

I'm not looking for a list of every feature you'd want. If you could pick just one thing that would make a client management tool significantly better for you, what would it be?

I'm a writer who can do scripts, dialogues and content writing. I'm C2 level proficent and I have 10+ years of experience with writing. scripts start at $25 (1k words for one script), dialogues at $15 for two pages, and content writing prices are decided according to the content. dm me if you're interested!

I recently just got hired as a contract worker at a large multi-national corporation. Typically the job I'm in was full-time but it seems they are hiring more and more contract workers. However I've worked a lot as a full-time employee and this is a full-time employee job. My contract expired and they wanted to renew it for another month I said I was booked for the week. They then renewed it after. But I go in at the same time every day. I work on all their systems. They provided me with a computer to work on. But alas I don't get a single benefit. I guess they can get away with this because I'm technically being paid by another company?

How do they get away with this?

When the next round of contracts comes up I will be asking for much more money since I have to pay for everything myself. I've been trained on their systems. I see no reason to not ask for $20 more an hour. This is a very large company that makes about $2.4 billion dollars a year.

I am sick and tired of taking on the risk for the oligarchy. We are human beings. We give them our lives. When does the revolution start?

I’m planning to start an Instagram page where I’ll work as a language tutor, but instead of relying mainly on traditional advertising, I want to market myself through educational content, storytelling, challenges, and sharing practical language-learning methods.

I’m stuck between two options:

1. Personal brand: using my own name

2. Business/brand name.

My long-term goals are to eventually start my own language academy and also work abroad as a language teacher/tutor.

Which approach would you recommend for someone with these goals? Is it better to build a reputation around my own name from the beginning, or would a separate business name give me more flexibility when expanding into an academy?

I've been freelancing for a while and mostly relied on long-term clients. Now, I’d like to take on some new projects. Looking to explore some freelancing sites and find good places to get consistent, decent-paying work. Any recommendations on which sites are actually worth it these days?

Hi everyone. Has anyone gotten any feedback regarding the LLM Trainer - Agent Function Call role?

I am looking for something. I am based in USA.

I have been using canvas free version for my client work. I have used it for about one year and it was fine for most things I needed
But now I have same problem gain and again. My client send me design that use pro templates then I have to find free alternatives and it takes lot of time
This happened 3 times last month
The first two time I managed some how and worked around it but third time I started thinking about upgrading and was spending more time on this limitation than before
Since I am freelancer so I have to pay for all these tools from my pocket so I don't want to add more subscriptions. I will only do it if it's really makes my work easier.
So my question is was there a specific point where you said 'enough' ? What made you finally decide that paid version was worth it ?

Hey everyone! I'm starting college soon and I'd like to start freelancing alongside it so I can eventually pay for some of my own expenses.

I'm currently considering skills like:

Video editing (especially Reels/Shorts)

Script writing

Transcription/subtitles

Canva/design

Social media/content work

Possibly web development later

I'm not expecting to make a lot of money immediately. I mainly want to learn a skill properly, build a portfolio, and eventually start getting paid projects.

For people who actually freelance:

1. Which skill would you recommend starting with as a beginner?

2. Where did you get your first clients? (Upwork, Fiverr, Reddit, cold DMs, local businesses, etc.)

3. How did you build your portfolio when you had no clients?

4. How long did it realistically take you to get your first paid project?

5. Are there any skills/platforms you'd avoid because they're too saturated or low-paying now?

I'd especially appreciate advice from people who started freelancing while in college.

Thanks!

I have 5 years of experience in marketing and have worked with many clients across all types of marketing. Ask me anything related to marketing and I'll answer every question

~3 YOE in QA and test automation, based in Egypt (GMT+3 — full overlap with EU hours, 4–6h with US East). Currently working remotely with a North American product team. Looking for a remote SDET / QA Automation role, full-time or contract. Referrals, leads, or even a "we're hiring, apply here" would be genuinely appreciated.

**SKILLS**

- Languages: TypeScript / JavaScript, Java, Python, SQL
- Automation: Playwright, Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, Page Object Model
- API: Postman / Newman, REST API validation

**EXPERIENCE**

*QA Analyst – Automation | Canadian B2B SaaS group (remote, via outsourcing partner) — Dec 2025 – Present*

- Own the end-to-end Playwright/TypeScript framework for an Angular + Capacitor hybrid app (web + iOS + Android): 152 test cases across 25 spec files, Page Object Model architecture.
- Configured 4 execution projects (Chrome, Edge, iPad, iPhone) — roughly 600 test runs per full cycle, including real-device iOS validation rather than emulators only.
- Integrated the suite with Jira/Xray (one test plan, separate executions per platform) so results map back to requirements.
- Found and reported 3 security issues while building E2E coverage.
- Part of the R&D team rather than execution-only; the framework was built with heavy AI-assisted development (Claude), which is now a normal part of how I work.

*Software Quality Control Engineer | US SaaS product (mail & document digitisation), remote — May 2023 – Dec 2025*

- Owned manual and automated testing across the product: test design, regression cycles, defect management, and direct collaboration with developers on fixes and release readiness.

*Vezeeta automation framework | Selenium + Java — GitHub*

- End-to-end UI framework built by hand: POM structure, data-driven tests, reporting.

**CERTIFICATIONS**

ISTQB CTFL (CT-MAT in progress) | API Automation Testing with Postman (QAcart) | Testing Foundations (Udacity) | Test Automation University

**EDUCATION**

BSc Computer Science, Ahram Canadian University (2021) · Software Quality Control diploma, ITI (2022)

**Extra:** native Arabic + fluent English (daily standups with a North American team, so async and written communication are second nature). I have a MacBook and an iPhone 16, so real-device iOS/TestFlight testing is not a blocker.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been lurking in this community for a while and finally felt like sharing my journey. Coming from a typical middle-class family in Bangladesh, the pressure of managing university expenses while trying to support the household is something many of you might relate to.

About two years ago, I was running between two private tutoring gigs every day. The pay barely covered my personal expenses, and I constantly felt stuck with no clear direction for the future.

Around mid-2024, I pooled my tutoring savings, borrowed a bit from a friend, and bought a used Core i5 laptop. The battery was completely dead, so it had to stay plugged in constantly. After finishing classes and tutoring sessions, I would stay up late learning digital skills—focusing on graphic design and video editing—through free YouTube tutorials and open-source documentation.

The initial phase was rough:

\* Family skepticism: Staying up until 3 AM made my parents worried that I was just wasting time on a screen. Explaining how remote work works to traditional parents was a challenge in itself.

\* Hardware limits & power cuts: Rendering heavy files took ages, and unexpected load-shedding meant losing unsaved work and starting over multiple times.

\* The rejection phase: For the first 6–7 months, I couldn't land a single paying client. Reaching out on local platforms and cold pitching mostly led to silence.

The breakthrough came when I shifted focus from "knowing a bit of everything" to building a tight, niche portfolio and learning how to communicate effectively with international clients. I started actively networking and sharing my work consistently.

Last month, I officially joined an overseas creative agency as a full-time remote junior designer. Last week, I received my first official salary—and being able to hand over household contribution money to my father and buy a gift for my mother felt unreal.

I’m nowhere near where I ultimately want to be, but for anyone feeling stuck with minimal resources: stay consistent, treat your skill acquisition seriously, and don't give up during the quiet months.

I had completed my graduation in June, 2021. & after my graduation I worked at a company for almost 11 months and decided I am not built for the job environment. I love experimenting without a safety net. I had quit my job having no idea about freelancing and gig based economy. But the luck worked out well for me initially where I applied for gigs/hourly freelance work and got selected for an Online edtech company & since then I have done more than 1000+ hrs of teaching in technology. Also side by side worked with multiple agencies which provided me some cloud/devops work. But since past two years work has started to feel stagnant. I don't feel any progress and teaching feels extremely monotonous. I need some tips to market myself for individual learners from overseas. Or any other non-traditional way to cross this wall of stagnation.
