Aarti Shinde has a 3 year old son and lives in Mumbai with her family. She worked in marketing and client servicing for 7 years, but then had to take a career break of 6 years in 2017 to devote time to her family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2023, she started learning some skills to perform remote work, and started pitching to clients simultaneously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within a month of starting her course, she got her first project from a US business owner. She had to conduct some online research and find suitable vendors – simple work that can be done on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She earned a mere USD 10 for that project – but the client left her a glowing testimonial on Upwork.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also secured repeat assignments from that client later.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helped her to secure her second assignment. Her second client is from Australia, and gave her some research, document compilation and presentation creation work for a product launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She earned USD 240 in 2 weeks from this assignment by working on a part-time basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the US client, the Australian client also gave her repeat work!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Securing projects can take time initially, but work quickly flows in as you build your track record and have testimonials on your profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, during this phase, you cannot stop sending proposals, or get bogged down by rejections or lack of response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aarti has sent over 100 proposals till date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has worked on 12 projects with about 7-8 clients now, and earned around over 900 dollars in 3 months, and is on the way to reaching her first 1000 dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a foreign client realises that he\/she can trust you, you can get many more assignments and introductions to new clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is much more expensive for foreign early stage startup founders, SME owners and professionals to hire equivalent resources in their home country, and you have a massive cost advantage if you are working from India or another developing country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone who is considering remote work, you do not have to be limited by the kind of work that you performed in your job earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Aarti, most of our learners who perform remote work do work that is very different from the tasks that they performed in their full-time jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, most of these remote work assignments fall in 3 critical domains – virtual assistant, startup generalist and in content-creation related roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your interest, you can select one of these roles and develop initial skills in a matter of 2-3 months, and then stack up more additional skills over time so that you can continue to add more value to your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that in 2023 the AI revolution has made it much easier for us to pick up and learn high-demand skill sets, pitch more effectively and deliver superior quality work, without having decades of functional expertise in one area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, it still takes effort on our side – AI cannot divine and intuitively understand what we expect it to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the results are incredible once we put in the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also not a problem if you just have 3-4 hours per day available for work – remote work is very flexible and it is possible to find assignments that suit your availability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Aarti works only for 2-3 hours per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is her Upwork profile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
