Don’t try to learn everything. Pick one skill and master it.
Learn the Skill (Free & Paid Resources)
Start with free platforms like:
- YouTube (search: “SEO in Bengali by Abdullah Babu”)
- Coursera & Udemy
- AbdullahBabu.com Blog for online income tips
Then apply your knowledge:
- Build your blog or portfolio
- Practice by offering free work to friends or local businesses
- Join Facebook groups to learn industry questions and trends
Build a Strong Profile & Portfolio
Your profile = your first impression.
If you’re on Upwork or Fiverr:
- Use a real photo
- Write a simple, trust-building bio (mention skills, results, passion)
- List your services clearly (e.g., “I’ll optimize your WordPress SEO”)
- Include samples of past work—even if self-made
Use Canva to design your own profile banners and portfolio graphics.
Create Your Website
Abdullah Babu always says, “If you want to stand out, build your platform.”
A WordPress website helps you:
- Rank on Google
- Build a long-term brand
- Attract clients outside freelancing platforms
- Share blog posts, testimonials, and case studies
Use themes like Astra or Hello with Elementor for fast, SEO-friendly design.
Include pages like:
- About Me
- Services
- Portfolio
- Contact
- Blog (for SEO)
Find Your First Clients
This is where most freelancers give up. Don’t.
Where to get clients:
- Fiverr & Upwork
- Facebook groups
- Personal referrals
- Your blog or YouTube
Abdullah Babu’s approach:
- Identify a niche (e.g., SEO for Bengali businesses)
- Offer a free audit or discount to the first 3 clients
- Overdeliver and ask for testimonials
- Use their feedback to improve and attract more clients
Price Your Services Wisely
Avoid working for peanuts—but also don’t overcharge in the beginning.
Start with affordable rates like:
- $10–$30 for a basic SEO audit
- $50–$100 for a WordPress website
- $30–$80 for Facebook Ads setup
As your portfolio and reviews grow, raise your prices confidently.
Abdullah Babu recommends pricing based on value, not time. If your work brings the client 10x returns, your price is justified.
Build a Personal Brand
Freelancers with personal brands get better clients faster.
Ways to build your brand:
- Use your name as your domain (e.g., AbdullahBabu.com)
- Share your journey and knowledge online
- Publish blog posts (e.g., “How I ranked my first Shopify store”)
- Show real results and case studies
- Share video tips in Bengali to reach the local audience
Top freelancer success = Skill + Visibility + Trust.
Manage Your Time & Projects
Once you start getting clients, learn how to manage your time and avoid burnout.
Tools recommended by Abdullah Babu:
- Trello (task management)
- Google Calendar (schedule meetings)
- Clockify (track time)
- Payoneer & Wise (for international payments)
Communicate, set deadlines, and be professional always.
Upskill, Diversify & Scale
Don’t stop at one skill. Once stable, expand into:
- Teaching (1-on-1 coaching, courses)
- Blogging + Affiliate Marketing
- Running an agency
- Selling digital products (templates, SEO kits)
Abdullah Babu now earns through multiple streams:
- Client services
