Growing up in a small village in District Vehari, I never imagined that one day I would be standing in front of classrooms filled with eager students, teaching them digital marketing and SEO. My journey was not a straight line—it was full of uncertainty, hard work, and a constant hunger to learn and grow.
The Humble Beginning in Lahore (2016)
In 2016, I left my village and moved to Lahore with dreams but no clear direction. I landed an internship at a digital marketing office named Blueclays, located at Liberty Roundabout. My job? Creating backlinks—day in and day out. We worked like machines, repeating the same tasks with little understanding of why we were doing them. I didn’t know what SEO truly was or how search engines worked. But I was persistent.
After four months, my team lead finally sat me down and explained the basics of SEO and how search engines operate. That conversation sparked something in me. It was the first time I realized the potential of digital marketing.
Breaking Free: The Freelancing Phase
After 8 months at Blueclays, I decided to quit the internship and start freelancing. I created a profile on Fiverr, and that’s where things really took off. In just three years, I earned over $140,000 through freelancing projects—mostly SEO services. It was life-changing. More than the income, it gave me freedom, confidence, and a deep understanding of how the digital world works.
From Freelancer to Trainer
In 2020, I trained a small group of local students. One of my friends saw my potential as a teacher and recommended me for a position at Corvit Systems Faisalabad. I accepted the offer and stepped into a new role—Digital Marketing & SEO Trainer. For the next two years, I trained students there before moving to Corvit Lahore, where I continued my mission.
Impact at Scale: 5,000+ Students Trained
Since then, I’ve trained over 5,000 students through multiple batches, including:
- NAVTTC batches
- Rescue 1122 Digital Training Program
- Akhuwat Foundation Training Programs
- IAC University Lahore
- GB and AJK Youth Trainings
- Madrassa Students Training Programs
Each session was not just a class—it was an opportunity to transform lives. Many of my students started earning during their training period, and watching them succeed became my biggest reward.
Recognized by Leaders
I was honored to meet Kanwal Cheema, the founder of ImpactMeter, who appreciated my efforts personally. I also had the privilege of being recognized by Dr. Amjad Saqib, the founder of Akhuwat. This recognition led me to the Governor House Punjab, where I received a certificate of appreciation for my contributions to digital education.
From Failure to Purpose
I wasn’t always a top student. In fact, I failed three subjects in my first year of intermediate. I had to invest an extra year just to clear them. But I’ve come to learn that your academic record doesn’t define your future—your consistency, dedication, and self-belief do.
Final Thoughts
My journey from a confused intern to a successful freelancer, and now a trainer recognized at the provincial level, is proof that you can change your life with the right mindset and effort. Digital marketing didn’t just give me a career—it gave me a purpose.
I now dedicate my life to teaching and empowering others—especially those from humble backgrounds—so they too can achieve success in the digital world.
