What degree or course is required to become a successful freelancer.?
You will need skills, not degree. Skill in what you want to freelance.
and a freelancer cant open bank account any where in Pakistan…..what Anusha Rehman can do about this…
This is stupidity of State Bank of Pakistan and Mushrraf, when a visitor Pakistani can even open an account overseas why not a Pakistani can open an account within his own country?
But I heard last time that SBP relaxed procedures and every Pakistani can.
freelancer ek business haa oor ap FCY account main business transaction nhi kar sakta
according to SBP lakin ap westorn union moneygram wagara sa apna name pa pasa mangwa sakta
aap kisi be company ka fake employment latter bana do employee ki salary aah jati account its simple solution :D
The first they need to do is to find solution for payments. Paypal is not present in Pakistan and in many platforms direct bank account transfers is not supported. Freelancers have to use costly third party services to withdraw funds. Local banks do not open account for freelancers based on their profile, they require an employment certificate. Govt/state bank should work to resolve these issue.
I have been transferring funds of some freelancers from Pakistan to transfer funds to their bank accounts in Pakistan which they receive in Paypal and then transfer to my Paypal :)
Paypal is good and but there are other solutions which are being used by freelancers in Pakistan e.g. Payoneer, Skrill, Stripe. Payoneer is quite popular among freelancer, when singing up with Payoneer https://goo.gl/XTSxUi freelancers can get $25 bonus + Rs.2500 Cashback from http://www.rupeeco.pk which is Pakistan’s first cashback website.
1 Million Freelancers, a thousand ways to earn online but still choose freelancing!
Freelancing !
UFF Aj tak Kar He Nahi Paya Job Se Free Ho to Waha Dehan Do :
Achi Skills Hai Par Mehnat Bohat Hai
Training 1 million freelancers over the next 5 years means training at least 800 freelancers every day for the next 5 years (250 working days per year). How will they do it unless they have 20 training centers working in parallel every day. Simply not possible. ICT R&D fund should promise things which it can actually deliver instead of just making tall claims which cannot be achieved!
