So AI search means showing up in Google AI overview, chatgpt, gemini, claude reccomendations..

I’ve noticed whenever I talk about my job here I get a lot of messages from younger people asking how to find remote work or jobs that pay in foreign currency. I’ve been in marketing for a long time but I don’t have a formal degree in it. I built my career through hands-on work and learning as I went.

If anyone here is interested in learning how to approach clients for marketing roles or how to position themselves as niche writers or professionals in different fields, I can share what has worked for me. Things like finding clients, presenting yourself and getting noticed.

Replying to everyone in DMs is getting difficult. That’s why I was thinking of putting together a small course. Maybe 4 - 5 sessions over a month covering practical topics that help people get clients and improve how they present themselves to international markets.

It would be reasonably priced and based on real experience. I’m not selling instant success. But if anyone is interested in learning what actually works in 2026 I can help. I’m not positioning this as anything formal or heavy. Just sharing what I’ve learned from real work and real conversations.

If English feels difficult, I can also run it in simple, jargon free Urdu + English.

If this sounds useful let me know.

I love ghararas and haven’t worn one in years. I’m married and my dressing has been heavily policed by my MIL but now she has gotten more lenient but I feel like I’ve lost my sense of style. I want to dress young. I know she’ll probably be shocked maybe even pissed especially since we’ll be going to a dawat at her family's but I really want to wear a gharara and I already bought one 🤭

I’m from Karachi so I’m not familiar with the café and library scene here. Can’t buy a coworking space membership since I’m only here for a week. just need a quiet place to finish some tasks in peace!!

Women of Pakistan what has your experience been like as an unemployed wife. I’ve been working for the last 7 years and meri bas hogayi hai. I work from home have a toddler and I cried myself to sleep after missing playing in the rain with my husband and daughter last week because I was working. I don’t remember the last time I felt stress free outdoors and I haven’t stepped out in the rain in years. I don’t contribute toward household expenses just like having my own money but now I feel like I’m living inside a box. With AI taking over everything I also keep feeling this weird sense of doom around work. Part of me wants to quit and live a trad wife life now. Women who stopped working after having a career what were the pros and cons for you? Hoping your experience was positive... ☃️

I made a mistake at work. I’m not even sure how huge it is. I was politely told to fix it since I’ve only been here for 3 months, and nobody tagged me in slack channel or confronted me about it. But the thing is it was misinformation that got flagged by the client I was working on. So not only is this embarrassing because I have good YOE, but it’s also making me question my ability to keep working any longer. It was a careless mistake but it still got flagged. The team members who got hired with me haven’t done anything like this so far. I’m not scared of losing this job because I’m already done with the 9–5 hell. I’m fully set on becoming a traditional SAHM. But if we lose the client because of this, I don’t think my mind will let this guilt go easily. IJWIWD 😞

Salam I have a question regarding khums and please don’t judge.

I regularly pay khums and recently my savings have increased so the amount due is quite high. At the same time my brother is financially struggling. He has three daughters to marry off and will likely need to take loans to manage the expenses. He is a practicing Shia Muslim.

I want to support him but I’m unsure about the correct approach. Is it permissible to use khums to help a close family member in this situation? If yes are there any specific conditions like whether it needs to be given as a loan or a gift or whether it must be disclosed as khums? I’m asking because if I have to give 20% of my savings I would prefer it to directly support someone in my family who genuinely needs it. I would really appreciate clear guidance on what is allowed.
