Hello Friends, I’m wondering if it's okay to show the same examples of my work in both my Fiverr and Upwork portfolios, even though these projects were never specifically made for either platform. What’s your take on this? Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences! Thanks!

When I reflect on my journey, it feels surreal. Just a few years ago, I was serving in the Pakistan Navy, earning $100/month. While it was an honorable profession, I knew deep inside that I wanted more. I craved financial independence, creative freedom, and the ability to build something of my own. Fast forward to today, I’ve earned $26,000 in just 12 months on Upwork, offering video editing and YouTube automation services. This isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the power of hard work, self-learning, and ambition. 🔑 How did I achieve this? - I started as a freelance video editor with no formal training. - I learned EVERYTHING from YouTube tutorials—no paid courses, no mentors, just sheer determination to upskill myself. - I pushed myself every day, constantly improving my craft and delivering top-notch results to my clients. But that’s not the end of the story. I’ve now built an agency where I: ✅ Manage 30+ recurring clients every month. ✅ Continuously onboard new clients through outreach, Upwork, Fiverr, and my website. ✅ Lead a growing team, helping clients scale their businesses with high-quality video content and YouTube growth strategies. This isn’t just about me—it’s about what’s possible. For anyone starting out, know that if you’re ambitious, persistent, and willing to learn, you can achieve anything. Leaving the Navy and starting from scratch wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. Today, I’m living proof that with hard work and focus, you can turn your dreams into reality. To anyone dreaming big—take that first step. Upskill yourself. Believe in your journey. You’ve got this! 💪 #FreelancingSuccess #UpworkJourney #VideoEditing #YouTubeAutomation #Entrepreneurship #HardWorkPaysOff

Hey guys I'm sure everyone wouldnt hate getting some free open AI credits and I got $1000 USD through applying for Microsoft's startup founders hub with my LinkedIn. Just fill out all the details they asked for in the way they would probably want to hear and I got accepted, also some other benefits. It was quite easy, cost nothing and now get $1000 in Azure credits that I've been using for GPT 4 and 4o, personally I've been using them in make Make and it is just as effective. Suss it out and apply, should be a free $1000 in GPT credits more or less hopefully its useful for some people that do this sort of thing on Upwork: https://foundershub.startups.microsoft.com/
