Need Ideas For A Software For Pakistani Freelancers

Assalamalaikum,

I am looking for some ideas, I am making a Software for Pakistani audience - Freelancers Primarily - and would want to get some ideas on what to create. I need a PROBLEM that freelancers face that could be solved with a tool/software, but there are no good options for pakistani freelancers.

I would really appreciate if anyone who is a Pakistani freelancer or has been a freelancer to give me some problems they have faced. So I can make a Software around that and hopefully solve that problem for other freelancers.

Thanks

Upwork proposals are not even getting viewed in 2026.

Freelancers who are getting consistent clients from Upwork or outside platforms I seriously need advice.

I’m in the Gen AI / AI automation space (AI agents, GPT integrations, workflow automation, etc.) and my Upwork profile is still pretty new, so I’m struggling to get consistent clients. A lot of my proposals don’t even get viewed, and I’m trying to figure out whether I should keep focusing on Upwork or put more energy into other channels.

For people who are actually landing clients right now:

- Is Upwork still worth it in 2026 for AI freelancers with newer profiles?
- What helped you start getting replies and projects?
- How are you positioning your AI services so clients trust you?
- Are you seeing better results from LinkedIn, cold outreach, content, communities, or referrals?
- What kind of portfolio/projects helped the most?
- If you were starting again today in Gen AI, what would you focus on first?

I’d really appreciate practical advice from people who are actively getting work in this space.

Thanks a lot.

Any remote jobs for doctors ?

I’m an MBBS-qualified General Physician with completed FCPS Part 2 training in General Medicine from Pakistan. Alongside my medical background, I’ve recently been exploring remote work opportunities including AI/data annotation, healthcare support roles, content evaluation, research assistance, medical writing, and other non-clinical remote jobs.
If anyone knows about any remote job opportunities, please let me know.

Fu**ed up my friend's car

Borrowed car from my friend, the car got hit to road barrier. The repairs would cost around 10k-15k. Need the money urgently. If someone have quick tasks they can contact me. I am an experienced graphic designer, can make you good posters, posts, logos, fake documents. Have CS background so I can help you with that as well. Can make websites and stuff. Really stressed out.

Edit: [18 May] Case Closed

Tired of Pakistani clients underpaying freelancers

So I'm a graphic designer with 4+ years of freelance experience and I have always worked with international clients on Upwork, but from the last 6 month, I stopped getting invites and the work was unstable so I decided to work for two Pakistani clients and that was one of my worst decisions.

Those 2 clients became a headache. Constant texts, low/half payment, never ending revisions and still complaining about the work while my international clients always loved my work. I don't understand what's wrong with these people. They think designers are some uneducated peeps begging for work? Sighs. We are also humans and we have bills to pay too just like people in other fields. If there are no designers left in this world, it'll become a bland and colorless space.

This time I was so mad, I said no to both of them and decided to find more international clients for myself. May nobody get to work with these stingy people.

Pakistanis earning online if you had to start from zero today, what would you do?

I’m a student from Islamabad trying to realistically make around 50k PKR/month online.

Not trying to become the next Andrew Tate crypto billionaire. Bas decent halal online income so I can stop financially stressing every 4 business days.

My background:

  • Good English (IELTS 8 band)
  • Can communicate well
  • Interested in finance/business/marketing
  • Know basic video editing
  • Can research stuff properly
  • Decent with tech and learn fast
  • Have a MacBook + internet + too much anxiety about the future
  • Can work consistently if there’s actual money at the end of the tunnel

I’ve looked into:

  • Freelancing
  • Copywriting
  • Appointment setting
  • Social media management
  • Short-form content editing
  • AI automation stuff

But honestly har field mein aisa lagta hai 500,000 Pakistanis already entered before me.

So I want real answers from people actually earning online in Pakistan:

If you had 3–6 months to learn ONE skill from scratch and make your first consistent 50k/month online, what would you pick and why?

Also:

  • What skills are actually overrated?
  • Which ones are saturated but still worth entering?
  • Which fields look sexy on Twitter but are dead in reality?

Would appreciate brutally honest advice
