[00:02]
Freelancing is harder than a job or business

Freelancing requires you to be your own office boy, business developer, worker, and project manager. It's not a 9-to-5 job nor a proper business; it's even harder.

[01:11]
First step: Skills and Portfolio

The first step for a beginner is to acquire a skill and create a portfolio. Use ready-made platforms to get started.

[01:27]
Evolution of freelancing since 2018

In 2018, there was a lot of manual work like data entry and basic Excel tasks. With AI and tools, many tasks got automated, increasing competition.

[02:25]
Shift from jack of all trades to master of one

Initially, freelancers did multiple skills (graphic design, video editing, etc.), but as competition increased, it became crucial to specialize in one skill.

[03:06]
Impact of AI on freelancing

AI made basic tasks easier, so clients can now create thumbnails for free using tools like Canva, reducing the need for generalist freelancers.

[03:35]
Solution: Selecting the right niche

To succeed, pick a specific niche. For example, instead of being a general video editor, become a video editor for coaches or educational content creators.

[05:37]
Benefits of being niche-specific

Being specific gives you clarity on what to learn, helps you attract high-ticket clients, and positions you as an expert in that field.

[08:09]
How to select the right skill

Research the scope of the skill for the next 5 years. Don't ask others which skill to learn; explore your interests and strengths yourself.

[10:11]
Using self-assessment and AI for skill selection

Ask people about your strengths, make a list, and feed it to ChatGPT to get suggestions for suitable fields. Then research those fields.

[11:18]
Check trends and future scope

Ensure the skill has future scope. Avoid fields that might disappear due to AI or other changes.

[11:48]
Learning the skill: YouTube and practice

Learn the basics from YouTube. Practice is crucial. Self-discipline and consistency are essential; without them, freelancing is not for you.

[13:25]
Practice and discipline

Practice is very important. You must be self-disciplined and not wait for someone to guide you. You have to become your own messiah.

[14:46]
Overcoming self-doubt

Self-doubt is a sign you are on the right track. It means you are developing the right mindset. Celebrate it.

[16:04]
Attitude: Learn to earn

The biggest achievement is knowing how to learn. If you can learn, you can earn. Never be afraid of new skills.

[17:26]
Ideal Customer Persona (ICP)

Create a detailed picture of your ideal client. For example, if you edit for educational YouTubers, know their content style, platforms, and needs.

[19:04]
Winning clients with ICP

With detailed research and ICP, it's easier to win clients. Your portfolio should reflect your niche, and you should show rather than tell your expertise.

[19:45]
The 4 Ps of marketing: Product, Price, Promotion, Placement

Product is now a solution, price is value, promotion is education, and placement is being where your client is.

[23:14]
Building a portfolio without clients

Create sample work for your ICP, post it on social media, and use that as your portfolio. You don't need to complete a project to have a portfolio.

[25:05]
Choosing the right platform

Based on your ICP, decide where your clients are. If they are on Fiverr, go there; if on LinkedIn, focus there. Be present where your client is.

[26:19]
Personal branding

Build a personal brand by creating content on social media. Set realistic expectations: focus on targeted views, not millions of subscribers.

[28:53]
Client vs. Customer

A client buys your service; a customer buys your product (course, e-book). Content can attract both, opening multiple income streams.

[30:30]
Facebook groups: Engage, don't pitch

Join relevant groups, engage with people, offer solutions, and educate. Don't just post your link. Provide value first.

[32:55]
Bulk emailing: Customize and show work

Instead of generic emails, edit a sample for the prospect, attach it, and mention specific improvements. This shows your work and increases chances of a reply.

[34:35]
Trust in Allah and hard work

Work hard and trust in Allah. Your efforts will not go in vain. Keep your inner self strong and be inspired by your own determination.

[37:34]
Patience and consistency

Be patient and consistent. Don't let ego enter. Trust in Allah's mercy, not just your hard work.

To start freelancing in 2026, focus on selecting a specific niche, building a strong portfolio through practice and content creation, and positioning yourself as an expert. Emphasize value over price, educate your clients, and be present where your ideal clients are. With patience, consistency, and trust in Allah, you can succeed.

[00:02] skill, then go and learn that skill at the basic level on YouTube. You will have to be self-disciplined. You selected the wrong field. There is no issue. So first of all let's talk about what is freelancing? Freelancing is neither like your 9 to

[00:17] 5 job nor like a proper business. This is something even harder than that. In freelancing, you are your own office boy. You are also a business developer yourself. You are also responsible for your own work. You are also the project manager yourself. You have to do everything yourself.

[00:29] And who thinks that to get financing one will have to leave one's job, financing one will have to leave one's job, business or studies? business or studies? Let's go, Venus. My throat was saved. [laughter] Otherwise there should be

[00:41] more head-scratching. So now let's talk about how to start freelancing in start freelancing in 2026. Many things have changed in the freelancing field. Take the skill set, take the mindset, take the techniques of client hunting. There are

[00:55] many such things in your opinion. If someone wants to then what should be his first step? Skills and Portfolio and Creation what will be your first step? What should you do ? He is a beginner and he has

[01:11] What should he do? Using ready-made platforms. I want to subscribe to HPS service brother. I want to get all the books and videos. Where are your minds? The next step is your selecting the right niche. If you

[01:27] go from today to 2000, if I talk about myself in 2018, when I started, there was a lot of data entry work and small jobs. There was no AI, tools were not available so much, so there was a lot of manual work which was done by freelancers like us

[01:42] basic Excel skills were useful, we knew a little about talking, talking, our work got done. As the industry evolved, AI came and different tools came, so many things got automated,

[01:56] then after that as soon as freelancing started, obviously I earned some money, I uploaded a video, I uploaded a story, similarly and many people did it, its awareness increased so much that now Alhamdulillah, we are number three worldwide

[02:11] and freelancing number three to four, we keep going up and down, but currently we are number three in freelancing, there are so many freelancers, now because of this the biggest problem that arises here is selecting the right niche. What used to happen earlier,

[02:25] you used to have a graphic I learned designing brother, get me posters made, get me logos made, I have to make thumbnails as well, I have to do nail editing as well, if the fridge breaks down I will repair that as well, I will also fill the gas, we used to do all the AC work, then slowly slowly

[02:39] people started understanding that no friend, we don't need to learn different skills, we should learn one skill, as the competition increased, people started getting n't need different skills, we should pick up one skill, become master of one,

[02:54] instead of jack of all, become master of one, if we do graphic designing then we will do only graphic designing. Video editing will only be video editing. So this continued till 2019, 20, editing. So this continued till 2019, 20, 21, 22. It went like this. Then came the

[03:06] era of AI which made many more things easier. So the client says that he wants a basic thumbnail. Why should I give this $50? It can also be made for free on CWA. So he goes from there to what he used to have to find a graphic designer for $50. He goes to the

[03:22] CWA. One watches half a YouTube video. Because of which this thing related to specific pick up one skill and my work will be done. This is where the problem started to arise.

[03:35] Now the question arises, what is the solution to this problem ? Selecting the right niche if I want to tell you, pick up any skill, be it graphic designing or video editing. At present, no deaths have occurred due to AI. You can learn any skill of

[03:49] your interest. But selecting a niche ride here is super selecting a niche ride here is super super. And if you want to do freelancing in 2026 then you can also join my CME program.

[04:28] you want to come into graphic designing then you do not have to do this that I will serve everything to everyone. You will select a need. For example, if you want to do video editing. Now you will not do it like this that you get me to edit wedding videos also. Get

[04:43] me to edit your vlog. Get me to edit a YouTube tutorial. I will also edit coaching videos. I know that too. Get that done from me also. Get the reels edited by me also. Apuncha is the God of video editing. Whatever work you want to get done from me, get it done.

[04:56] What happened now? Due to the advent of AI, all these general tasks got Due to the advent of AI, all these general tasks got automated. Basic editing, basic Put it. These clips come out from there. I just have to get the captions put up. Why give him money

[05:10] ? So I go there and apply it. So now comes the matter of specific niche. Now if there is a video editor who is providing his services to just coaches. Brother, I guy comes, man, I make YouTube videos and I teach physics lately.

[05:24] Okay friend, I will give it to the coaches, I will not go into this. The coaches are going to be very specific. coaches. There can be inspirational coaches , there can be live coaches. So I will edit only for them. Now what are its benefits? Of being a Ni specific. The

[05:37] what are its benefits? Of being a Ni specific. The biggest advantage. You will get clarity on what I need to learn to add more value to this industry. You will become specific. If you go to learn everything then the problem you will face is

[05:52] that now you will also have to learn those strategies that when you have to edit a video of a realtor You have to work hard in that too. Or when you have to edit a video for a Uber, you will also have to think about

[06:04] what type of editing will be done. What type of caption should it have? Then if editing them, you will have to think differently for that and learn differently. So there is a human mind, no matter how much we do. So for that the most important thing here is

[06:18] specific niche. You said I will only you know clearly that I have to how it will get better views. How will its engagement

[06:31] improve? What type of font do I have to use here? What type of psychology might be going on? How the user will be engaging every second. So now you just have to focus on a niche. So first of all you get clarity. Second thing is you

[06:45] get high ticket clients. Look, there is a general, you can catch hold of him, that quack doctor of our locality who has the cure for every disease. His slip is for cure for every disease. His slip is for ₹200 ₹300. It is like that. But there is

[06:58] a doctor there who is a heart surgeon. Its price starts from ₹1,000. When he does that then you are ready to pay him anything. I am ready to pay any amount of money so that my friend can cure my heart. What a great advantage there is in being specific. Alldo it will

[07:13] take time. It will take time in positioning branding. But once you cracked that thing. Once you get into a specific niche, you will be able to close high ticket clients. You will be able to strengthen positioning branding within it. One is I Am a Video

[07:27] Editor. Versace is an I'm a Video Editor for Coaches. I am a video editor for yours in the educational field. I am a video editor for vlogging. So now that you have specified your industry, your niche, you are attracting only those

[07:41] clients. When you're doing specifics, your example is like that hard surgeon. Now that person and that client also have clarity. He has worked only within that niche. So now you have positioned yourself in his eyes as an

[07:55] expert in that particular field. So now you are an expert right from the start. Lindin not an expert. Be an expert from the start. Because you have made things very strong within that specific niche. So what is the first step?

[08:09] And second step is selecting the right niche. Now comes the next question. How do you guys think one should select the right skill? Research should be done on that. Research should be done. How else? What research

[08:22] First of all, one should see whether it has scope for five years or not? You should see the scope. Ok. Yes. Good. Often when children meet somewhere or you guys

[08:34] Sir, which skill should I learn? This question of yours is wrong. If you are asking any expert that brother, tell me which skill should I learn, then with apologies,

[08:47] you are asking a very useless question to that person. It is like you ask a PhD holder that Sir, should I learn ABC, Ali B first or should I learn one, two, three, four first. You have to explore this thing yourself. First of all you should see in which industry

[09:02] I am interested. Like when I started, let me tell you me tell you from my journey. At that time I realized that there is a lot of money in designing. Learn Photoshop and earn money. Sir Imran Ali Dina, I

[09:17] learned Photoshop from him. I memorized it completely and I became such an expert in designing that you could show me any design. I used to raid it completely. But he was unable to think for himself. However, it also takes practice to

[09:32] break that creative blog of yours. But I never liked drawing since childhood. in two subjects. One in drawing and the other in Urdu. The writing was not good, the designing was not good. So I was not interested. So long term I

[09:45] thought, is this the work that I would like to do for the rest of my life? So no reply came. But still I definitely learnt this much that at least I can manage my work. I definitely learned this much. But the thing you have to identify is that in the pursuit of hype, you should

[09:58] not choose a field in which you cannot serve at all. You see what your education is? You should ask people about yourself, friend, what qualities do you think I have ? Suppose a guy

[10:11] skills are very good. Your convincing power is very good. Dude, you design very to universities, you manage them very well. Now you keep making your list of what do I already have ? What is that thing for which people are

[10:26] appreciating me and put that list in GPT and ask him that if I already have this skill set, these are my interests, then according to you,

[10:38] which are the best fields for me in which I can do well, which I can do well, then that list will come to you and you will research on that list one by one, suppose he gives you 10 skills and says friend, these are

[10:51] 10 industries, you can work in them. People who have this particular skill set do well in these fields. Now you will go and explore all those skills one by one and then you will identify that yes friend, this is the thing in which

[11:05] way, it is a bit hard work but look, we have to earn money. So do n't go and directly ask anyone which skill you want to learn. Friend, I will also tell you 50. Top 10 skills in 2026, top five or top three. Friend, now it is not for you.

[11:18] So once you have identified these things, then you have to see which of these You must see this trend. If there is no scope or that field is going to disappear in future then not need to work hard in it right now. This AI will itself tell you whom I have to eat tomorrow.

[11:32] Which thing will not remain in future? Or what will this industry evolve into in the future? Then you will select that skill on that base. Selected the skill. The next step is learning that skill. Now to learn it is simple

[11:48] go to YouTube. From there you can start watching the video. If you are not self-disciplined. If you are not self-disciplined. If you are not consistent. If you do n't have patience then leave freelancing. No field is for you.

[12:01] Children come and say, Sir, I am studying, so I cannot learn any skill. Someone please tell me such a I cannot learn any skill. Someone please tell me such a skill that I can become rich overnight. This is a strange scene. So now this child or this guy comes and says that I am

[12:13] also doing a job. I am working 9 to 6 or 9 to 5. I don't have time to You just shut up and do that work. Why can I say this with such confidence ? I am that person, Alhamdulillah, who did not work from 9 to 6, but from 9 to 2:00 in the night.

[12:27] After that, after coming back home at 2:00, I used to play Sir Imran's video and So when you took out the industry, you took out the skill. Then you can learn that skill at the basic level on YouTube. Now, Alhamdulillah, there is no shortage of any kind of knowledge.

[12:44] An initiative was taken by Aitzaz Bhai, perhaps He started courses. Then Azad the tea seller came. They started free courses and then on and off those things kept happening. Then we started this thing.

[12:58] Alhamdulillah we did it with consistency for two years. this problem where people used to say that friend, where will I learn this from? Apart from that, Ashlan Bhai has to learn design. Come here. Imran is my brother. I want to learn editing and

[13:12] freelancing. Subhan is my brother. I am. There is Shajeel and there are many Irfan brothers. It's evening sir. There are so many big names who are already there to teach you. So the hassle of knowledge is over now. Industry experts are already with you.

[13:25] Go learn from their content. Second thing practice. Practice is very important. And the most important thing in it is that you should understand this. Discipline: If you are not self-disciplined and if you are waiting for some messiah

[13:39] who will take you by holding your finger, he will take you somewhere else, I am telling you, if you are somewhere else, I am telling you, if you are fed up, don't wait for him later, you have to become that messiah for yourself, you will have to be self-disciplined, otherwise you will

[13:54] not be able to do anything. Patience, self- discipline in life and whatever you pick up, keep doing it with consistency, with your head bowed down like a mad person. Self-doubts will come to him, you don't know whether you will get work tomorrow or not, the industry may end tomorrow, whether the scope of this field will remain tomorrow or

[14:07] not, all these things will come, when these things start coming to your mind, then one thing, one sign I will tell you clearly is that you are on the right track, you should celebrate at that time that if these things are coming to your mind, it means

[14:21] you are on the right track, you are learning all this, that mindset of yours is developing, only then all these things are coming to your mind, so you are on the right track, only that person will have self-doubt, right? Whatever people are doing for themselves, nothing else comes to their mind; all they care about is

[14:33] how to become rich overnight, how will they earn money. Now you have moved ahead from that, you have selected your industry, you have selected the skills, you have started learning, you are practicing, you have done four steps, on the fifth you will have

[14:46] comes to us even today that friend, this work that I have started doing, I don't know whether it will work or not, whether these tell myself that let's try it, it works, okay, then let's do something else, I started with data entry, after that I learned a little bit of WordPress, after that I

[15:03] came into content creation. So I thought, what should I learn so that my content work and both those things together create something good. You are a more learned marketing. Now marketing is incomplete without content. And in today's era, today

[15:20] you saw that the meta updates have come. Andrometa Every platform is focusing on content. Audience research, all those things are gradually coming to an end. The platforms are ending it from their end saying that friend, you should leave this thing and just

[15:34] you myself. So the content game has gone up a lot and I cleared this thing in 2021-22, Alhamdulillah. To reach there, I also shifted my skills three to four times. Because I knew that these things would not be possible in the future.

[15:49] But because I had that road map cleared. There is no issue even today, friend. If new skill comes then it does not matter, I know how to learn, I will learn it. You people have to keep this attitude in your mind. The biggest achievement you will

[16:04] Whoever knows how to learn, brother, will earn, Insha Allah. You will also learn to earn. So never be afraid of anything. Have faith in Allah. Friend, you were born this small. If someone threw you like this, did you know what would happen if you didn't catch it? There would have been

[16:19] one less here today. Just think. So see, Allah had when you yourself did not know how to eat, you had no manners to walk. Didn't know anything. If you had missed one catch, you guys would have been finished. But thank God he was

[16:35] caught. So how difficult is it for Allah who can bring you from there to here to take you further. worry about these things. Stay excited. Learning is a great fun thing.

[16:50] Who started enjoying learning. Understand that you have boarded such a train of growth. You have boarded a train which will, Inshallah, take you upwards. You have selected it. We found our skills. We

[17:04] improved our mindset. Because without mindset there is nothing now. You are nothing if you don't have the mindset. One of the most important things when you're going to serve the industry and when you're choosing a skill set is that it's

[17:26] Ideal Customer Persona. You are learning from an ICP educated person. You are shameless that I gave an example of coaches. So when you start editing, you should keep a sketch in your mind

[17:38] and you will create a picture of that person that this is the person, for example, I have to edit long form content, I have to edit educational content creators, so I made a list of writers who are doing this work. So

[17:54] who is my guy? A YouTuber who is creating long form content on YouTube in the field of education and within the field of education, he is specifically teaching digital skills he is specifically teaching digital skills or academic skills,

[18:07] that he is doing this, he is teaching digital skills, he is creating long form content on YouTube but he does not have a presence on Instagram, then I will pitch to this guy

[18:20] that I will edit short form content for you. Now this short form content also has to be pitched, so you will appreciate it even if you are creating long form if you create short form content then you will get more reach, awareness and all these things. So you will

[18:35] also prepare your pitch when you tell him. So this is creating long form content. I will pitch this that brother, I will edit Instagram reels for you. We will also post content on Instagram. So you just have to shoot the content and give it to me.

[18:49] just have to shoot the content and give it to me. Edit it, design it, and manage that Instagram. I will do all this. I will also research the content and give it to you and then you will sell it as a package. And I am a reel editor. The vibe became clear

[19:04] that when you have done such detailed research , created an ICP, created the ideal customer persona, then it is so much easier for you to win a customer , to win a client. And you think, when your portfolio is also

[19:19] reflecting the same thing, how can you come to that also, then now you will get the money as per your wish because now you have positioned yourself in front of them,

[19:31] not by saying as an expert, but by showing rather than telling, you do not have to say, you have to show, keep this in your mind, there are ₹4 in business, basically first comes your product, after that comes the stock, what comes the price,

[19:45] then comes your promotion. Then came your placement. Now remember it and then remind me. First was the product. Ok? We used to talk about making products and doing all those things. The product is no longer there. Now the product has been replaced

[19:58] by the solution. Now people don't want the product. Now people want a solution. How will my skills people want a solution. How will my skills Graphic Designer is a product but Graphic Designer for Realtor Industry is a solution

[20:14] because it knows everything, it knows its psyche, what kind of design will come, how the story will be knows each and every thing about that industry, so now it has come out of the product and has become a solution for that industry, what used to happen before the second price was that friend, if I somehow make it $5 then

[20:31] I will get orders, I just have to sell it at the lowest price, that too give me $5, I will make two thumbnails for $5, now you make two and I will make four. This was a price war. Where will you replace it ? By value. Now you will not play price war.

[20:45] Now you will play the value war that the value that I am putting on the table or the value that my session is providing you, that $5 priced product will not be able to provide you.

[20:58] $5 priced product will not be able to provide you. He will just make a design for you. He will just make a design for you. But my diz will bring you sales. It will But my diz will bring you sales. It will

[21:11] what you are charging is not the price of the product but the value of that session you are taking from him. Number three is promotion. Promotion is no more promotion. It's Now Education. Now

[21:24] is no more promotion. It's Now Education. Now you don't have to promote your skills or your services or your business. You have to educate. Earlier people used to You have to educate. Earlier people used to run ads to sell these bottles.

[21:37] Marketing is happening. There is promotion after promotion. Everything is happening. They were sold. Now people don't say, brother, tell me what should I do with this ? Are you getting the point? education. Now clients want to be customer educated. Brother, you have told the solution and

[21:49] you have given the value. Will I do this with it? So promotion is no more, promotion is education, yes thank you, last P is placement, now yes thank you, last P is placement, now what is placement, that my product should be

[22:02] here also, should be here also, should be here also, should be here also, should be here also, now you have to focus on this thing that wherever my customer is, this product should be lying at the place where he needs it, do you understand the matter, what used to happen earlier was that I have to

[22:16] make a gig on Fiverr also, I have to go to Upwork also, I have to make videos on Ina also, I also want to run ads on Google. I also want to work on TikTok. I also do e-commerce and put my listing on Amazon. I will

[22:31] clients will come from somewhere or the other. I join 50 Facebook groups. I post it everywhere. Now you do n't have to do all this. Rather, you have to smartly see which industry I am going to serve. Which is my ideal customer

[22:46] persona that I have created. Where is this guy, brother? Are these people on Lindin? Are these people on Fiverr much? Do these people go to Upwork and do more hiring ? Do these people use YouTube a lot ? So now you have to see that you do

[22:59] not have to be placed everywhere but you have to be present wherever your client is, wherever he needs you. keep these four things in your mind. When you do these things, Insha Allah platform you should go to. Now let's talk about the

[23:14] portfolio. Sir, if I get work then I will get a portfolio. Now no one is giving work, how to make a portfolio. You promotion is no more promotion, it's education.

[23:26] You learned a skill, you learned about it. You learned it. Start telling. Suppose I take the example of an editor. What a death you would have to go and do content research for the ideal customer persona you have created.

[23:41] Catch a good video of it and edit it in reel form. Put it in. No one will have any objection. No one will give you a copyright strike. By doing this you are getting practice and your social media platform is

[23:54] also becoming your portfolio. You put the diz. For example, you have become a Meta AIDS specialist. So upload videos of those strategies. Create content on those strategies that I have seen these four mistakes in real estate. If they need to

[24:09] This is their marketing strategy. You start educating about it. Your clients don’t need that education. Through that you will tell your client what you know? How capable are you? The same thing happened. Show noise rather than

[24:24] tell. Say less, show more. Through your design, through your edits, through your strategies, but what does it take ? Content will have to be created. Make it your duty to have a website. Look, these are two things. One, you have your portfolio

[24:38] website which you are updating regularly. It gives a very professional vibe that this guy is different from others. Its contact details are there and its work is there. lying there. Gives a professional vibe. Second, when that content is going up on your social media,

[24:51] it is showing your clients how capable you are. So this is how So for portfolio it is not necessary that you have to complete any project. that you have to complete any project.

[25:05] become your portfolio in future. So what do you think, that one person has learned the skill and it has been useful to him, should he go to Fiverr and create an account or not? If it should not be made then why not and if it should be made then why? Give an answer. ICP,

[25:20] I have given you a hint. Think, if there are customers there then you should go there. Exactly if your customer is present there then you have the right platform, if you have

[25:35] created an ideal customer then during this research you must have known that on which platform can I find this person, so you know which street he is passing through, you keep circling there again and again, that is the big thing, you have to do

[25:47] here that where is my client, where would he be, which street would he be passing through, so suddenly from here I found him om sorry [laughs] how did this happen, I was just passing by, so this is the thing you have to see, if that street passes through fiber then

[26:02] other platforms too, we will come and work there too, but if your client, that customer is present there then go there, friend, the second thing is that first of all you must have got the there or not, so you have to look at it in this way. The second way to hunt clients is to

[26:19] second way to hunt clients is to build your own personal brand and it is build your own personal brand and it is It is that easy. It is not that difficult. What is a personal brand? Opened the camera,

[26:31] What is a personal brand? Opened the camera, made a video and gave it a lick. Simple, what good work is there in it? Is there any difficulty? Do you know when it is difficult? When we set wrong expectations from him. Like I want 1 million subscribers. Then it will be

[26:47] brand be built, otherwise there is no benefit. I need this many views. I want this much money from content creation. Only if I get all that, I will believe that yes, I have built my personal brand. However, it is not like that. And if you want to do freelancing in 2026

[27:01] then you can also join my CME program. Joining this program is very simple. Go now.com to HBA Services. You have to buy the business plan from here. You have to

[27:15] You are getting 30% discount here for the next 3 days. Don't miss it. It is better to take hosting for 4 years but buy it for minimum one year. Buy it from here and email the receipt to [email protected]. If you want more details

[27:30] then visit hb serv.com digital. Now what are the right expectations? What should I do, friend make it work for me. What are the benefits ? I will also get to learn. skills become. I will learn to speak. I will know how to talk.

[27:43] Then after that your social media skills will improve. Suppose your more clients on Lindin, then you can reach them only through content. So creating that content is also important. But

[27:56] you be able to reach that person. So you have to fight. Do n't come forward directly. It should look natural. We just met by mistake. Yes, I saw your pose. Yes, do you understand? like this. You will go directly to DMs. No, I will

[28:12] tell you [laughs] that someone will tell you not to do this work, I am talking about clients, so you have to fight it, you have to think how it will happen, that will happen through your content, so set the right expectation n't want a lot of views, I just want

[28:24] targeted views, I just want to reach targeted people, that it will happen very easily, set right, here also a myth is created that maybe if we start making videos then we will get a lot of clients, this is also a wrong expectation, you will

[28:37] not get them, you will not get them, you will get them, it is not that you will not get them. between a client and a customer. You had to understand this. Did you enjoy it? There is a [laughs]. There is a difference between a client and a

[28:53] customer. Who is the client? A client is someone who will buy your service from you. You did a good edit. I also want you to edit it. Who is the customer? Whoever buys your course will say that I also want to learn this. Teach me also. It is not a bad thing. Do that course.

[29:07] not a bad thing. Do that course. But this is the difference between client and customer. When you create content on social media and build your brand there, client will purchase your service after being impressed by your work

[29:20] and the customer will purchase your product after being impressed by your work. That product can also be a physical product. It can also be a digital product. Like there are examples of courses. Some are e-books, some are consultation calls. If

[29:32] anything, you get clients and customers. For this reason, all the content creators, after a certain time,

[29:44] It is a different matter that in our country people are not able to understand any business other than perfume and shirts. [laughter] These are the two things being sold and there are many other things to sell. But how is that happening ? Through that social media they

[29:59] became his customers. So this is another benefit you get. Multiple income streams open up for you if you create content on social media. So create content on social media. So it is super important that you

[30:15] build your personal brand in 2026 and Insha Allah the next episode will be on personal is a very detailed topic. Just giving you a hint to explain. So this is about personal branding. Apart from this, there are many other methods to hunt clients.

[30:30] I still don't know why Facebook groups seem so fun. I have those memories attached to it, I used to go and do postings, you can hire me. This is my Fiver link. All this has been done. But it actually works. Even today, if

[30:44] you have joined the right groups and you are not just going there and asking. You are You are engaging with people. If someone has posted something then you are not telling him to get this work done from me. You are offering him a solution.

[30:58] Again, what did I say? The product is no more product. It's the solution. Have to focus on that. And promotion is no more promotion. It's education and price is no more price. It's value. Now you are telling him that this is your

[31:15] problem. This is the solution to this. And this can happen very easily in this way. The person who posted this can definitely have two people in it. First of all, freelancer, you helped him and you created a network. Now there is that

[31:30] you created a network. Now there is that person who posted his job saying that I want this work and you gave him proper guidance there that this work will be done like this. This will be its first step. Second this, third this and it will take this much time. This work will be done for

[31:44] you in this way. You have given him a complete guide. You are not pitching Or you wrote, I DMed you, kindly reply me. In reply, I will do these things for $10, I will do it for $ 100, no, you are not doing anything,

[31:57] you are giving him full value that this is your problem, I have the solution for it, and how are you telling him through educating him, you gave him full value, told him, educated him, posted it, there is this

[32:10] guy versus it will cost $10, I will do this work in 2 days, you as a client think in whom will you build more trust, the one who shows and tells you that this work will be done like this, but now of course the one who will do the work for $10 within 2 days is

[32:26] really capable, he can really do it, he can do it better than that, but he lost the client there because he could not show his work, could not make him understand, the same thing is there not show his work, could not make him understand, the same thing is there even today that I have to go in bulk, I have to send

[32:40] DMs in bulk, I have to make comments in bulk, I have to send quality, on value, again I will talk about the same thing, focus on value We have to do it, educate us, offer solutions.

[32:55] Then it will not be your price but your value which will be justified. This is where bulk emailing comes from. How to do this? It's simple. Go and make the list. Now Get the list and go to Chat GPT. This is my service. Tell him to shut up, friend, I

[33:10] make thumbnails. I have made a list of these 50 YouTubers and please make a good template for me. He will create a template for you and you just copy and paste the Hi Name bracket inside it. I get 50 such emails daily.

[33:23] Tie it up and write the name. I do n't have time to write my name. Hi Name Kind Records [laughs] Your name. They are doing this. There is Your name. They are doing this. There is no use of 50 or 50000 such emails. So

[33:38] no use of 50 or 50000 such emails. So how to do it now? Simple. You are an editor, prepare the how to do it now? Simple. You are an editor, prepare the list. Edit their work. Edited it. He is practice. Second, your portfolio is building.

[33:51] Third, he is also going on your social media. Fourth, now you are attaching the same customized work inside the email. Now watch the client collide. If you don't hit the email, you will If she's going on TikTok, maybe Takkar will go there. So now there will be a collision. Do you understand what

[34:07] you are doing through social media? So now inside the email you will write a customized email that I saw this edit of yours. Your edit is very good. But these are some of the flaws. I found these things in your audio. I was missing some VFX.

[34:21] I found the sound effects a bit lacking. So I improved it a little bit and sent it to you. Please kindly look at my work. So now you're showing your work. There are very high chances that you will not get a reply. But at the same time Allah also

[34:35] says that whatever you strive for, I give it to you. I don't let my man Now that motivation will come to you automatically. You don't need to listen to any motivational speaker from outside. You don't need to listen to any motivational speaker from outside.

[34:48] work hard, your hard work will not go in vain. There is Allah said, friend, you must not have worked hard. Then do it. My daughter

[35:00] told me she was going to school. She had an exam so she was telling me, Papa, please pray for me that my exam goes well. I have not prepared. She is eight years old. I have me a lot of tension. You should pray for me. You yourself had said that you should pray to

[35:15] Allah. So all these things happen. I said okay, that's absolutely right. One So I asked him a question. I told him, tell me one thing. It's you and your told him, tell me one thing. It's you and your friend. Your friend has made the preparations.

[35:29] He worked hard for two-four nights. He prepared his entire paper. Versus you are. You did not make any preparations. You are also going after praying to Allah Taala, she is also going after praying to Allah Taala. Who should Allah Taala bring first? If I had

[35:41] told my friend, then by Allah my upbringing also got successful. He said it right. You just have to make a little effort. The world is end level distracted. End level is distracted. Someone is busy with mobiles. Where is someone busy?

[35:54] little effort. There are so many freelancers who are working on their personal branding. Think how many. You see the same four names wherever you look. Where else is he in your field? I am not doing it at all. What am I? I

[36:08] Allah has given respect. Are there no other people here who can do a better job than me? Where is it? What if I just made a little effort? What is it, I did not have a good phone, I will make it what I have. I don't have a good setup, I will

[36:21] make it what it is. There is no lighting, I will make it in the sun. Those who have seen my journey. Didn't see anything. You just have to make the goal clear in your mind. It will be No problem. Let me start. And the hardest step is your first step.

[36:36] Whoever has taken this, understand it easily. The most difficult step, the highest step is the first step. Your own caste should inspire you that friend, I am that person, people should say about me that friend, this is that person who will complete whatever work he decides to do.

[36:51] So make yourself so capable in your own eyes that your own caste inspires you. Your inner voice should tell you, wake you up. So you have to work on your inner self. You have to tell you, wake you up. So you have to work on your inner self. You have to

[37:06] n't be weak from here. From here onwards you become what you become. Then you become like this. Then you become like this. This is an outside matter. The beginning has to be made from here. If it is weak from here. From here you feel that I cannot do it, then even if the

[37:19] whole world tries to do it, I can do it. Ca n't do it. But from here you are I can do it. The whole world has said that we cannot do this. You will do it and you will do it very well. [Applause] Are you getting the point?

[37:34] So now let's move towards the next thing. We also discussed Facebook groups. We also discussed Facebook groups. how should you do it? We just do n't have to go and shower. Just drive it. Open it

[37:49] Faizi, we have to act with our brains. We will accidentally bump into the customer. I will not go directly into his DMs. Rather, you will hit him in such a way, through your content, through your work, by showing your work, that the person will be forced to pitch you once and say, friend, can

[38:06] you do this work for me. When this starts happening, not ask him what is your budget? He will ask you that I want this work done. Please kindly tell me what the charges will be. He must be asking you. This will happen when you are doing

[38:20] all these things, Inshallah. So patience is very important in this work. It is very important to remain consistent and trust in Allah and never let ego enter your mind. We have to trust in Allah and not in our hard work. We have to have faith in Allah because

[38:34] Allah has said that if I work hard, it will not go in vain. He is praying. A completely villa is sitting and praying. My heart cannot accept that I am wasting his hard work. He is Allah. How can he, who loves us more than 70 mothers, let

[38:47] ? So we have to trust not on our hard work but on the mercy of that caste. Are you but on the mercy of that caste. Are you getting the point? So these are some things. If you work on it, Insha Allah, then if Allah wills, be it
