But for an individual or a company in any country to receive money in return for work.
People in Pakistan can earn money through internet in many ways. One way is e-commerce, which means online business, while the other way is content, writing content, making pictures or videos that can gain popularity among the people.
Similarly, freelancing is a third source that is gaining popularity among the youth of Pakistan. According to Ayman: "If you have a good internet and a laptop, you can do freelancing from anywhere."
Amna Kamal is affiliated with DJ Skills, a government organization that compiles Pakistan's freelancers. There she trains people of all ages in this regard.
"Once upon a time, the way we worked was different," she says. After the first study, people were looking for jobs.
"Now this is changing and people do not have to be physically present in an office but they can work virtually (in the absence of a computer).
What can be done in freelancing?
By the way, in freelancing you can do everything possible (and legitimate). However, Ayman, who has experience in this field, says that in freelancing you can do data entry.
If you think you are good at writing, you can write on someone's website, blog or fashion.There is a lot of work going on in freelancing right now with spreadsheets, MS Word or any office related work, basic graphic designing or creating social media posts.
How do freelancers make money?
DJ Skills trainer Amna Kamal told the BBC: "With the help of computers, people can learn skills that no longer require them to work in a single company or country."Some of these skills include graphic design, website building, SEO (search engine optimization), digital marketing, social media, e-commerce and writing writing. Learning can be made through the internet because 'there are some websites for freelancing where you can find work by creating your own account.'Most freelancers in Pakistan look for work on many such websites, including Fiverr and Upwork. After creating your profile here, you have to meet the requirements provided by the people.Upon completion of the work, these websites collect money from the employer, deduct their own and pay the employee. But some people, when trust is restored, do business with each other without involving a third party.
How Much Money Can Make In Freelancing?
Regarding how much money people can make in freelancing, Ayman said it depends on a person's ability, skill, nature of work and time span."When you get paid for work in dollars, it's worth a lot," she says.
Amna Kamal agrees. "One of the benefits of freelancing is that you make money in dollars, not in rupees. When people make money from abroad, it benefits the individual and the country.Amna said there is a dearth of jobs in the country and there is an alternative for young people to make money through freelancing on the internet. He also highlighted the fact that some people have set up their own companies with the help of freelancing.
According to Ayman, "the rate can go from a few dollars to thousands of dollars for a single job on different websites."
But Is Making Money On The Internet That Easy?
In many countries, including Pakistan, people want to use their skills to make money on the Internet. But it is very difficult for a person to succeed immediately.However, Amna is optimistic. "Our ability to work is a resource," she says. There are talented people in Pakistan who can earn money from the world outside of their skills and work while sitting here.
According to Amna, Pakistanis are competing with freelancers from all over the world besides their own country. Therefore, it is important for them to do quality work on time so that they can create a good profile.
As well as having the capabilities of a good freelancer, it is important that they present the most unique work and be punctual. The advantage of this is that their profile on the internet will be strengthened and different clients will work with them again and again which will become a permanent source of earning money.On the other hand, according to freelancers, there are some problems in Pakistan with payment of money from abroad because PayPal service has not been introduced in the country yet.However, freelancers are using alternative methods to collect money.Ayman Soroush said: “The most important issue right now is the payments that freelancers are facing in Pakistan. We also have some alternatives that allow you to make payments. "
