Today I had a great discussion with a big ነጋዴ from Adama, and one lesson really stayed with me:
"ዋና ስራህ Tech ሊሆን ይችላል፣ ግን በምትችለው መጠን ሌሎች መስኮችንም ለማወቅ መጣር.....።"

Because opportunities don't always come from your main field. አንዳንድ ጊዜ ከምትጠብቀው ቦታ ውጭ ያለ እውቀት ወይም ልምድ ትልቅ ዋጋ ይሰጥሃል።

Tech is my main path, but learning about business, communication, finance, and other fields can open doors you never expected.

Ayiiii😁

We had a great time together! Abu Sekina is not only a talented tech guy but also a businessman in Merkato. It was inspiring to learn from his experience and see how he excels in both technology and business.

What I found on Instagram.

Apparently, with just a user's session ID obtained through Developer Mode, someone could potentially log into that Instagram account.

Upwork according to me.

I get asked questions about Upwork often, and here are my sayings about it. Firstly, I would like to mention that everyone has a different experience, so take my words with a grain of salt.

Getting your first job on Upwork is difficult. I started applying for jobs on Upwork in November 2024 and got my first job in January 2025. Technically, it wasn't through Upwork. I found the job on LinkedIn, and we initiated the contract on Upwork. So the key takeaway from here is, if you are already working for a client off Upwork, ask the client to transfer it to Upwork. Yes, Upwork takes some percent of the payment from you as a service charge, but if you want to build your Upwork profile, that's one thing you can do.

So then I had USD, bought connects, and started applying for additional jobs.

What do I look at when I apply for jobs?

1. Where is the client from?

If the client is from India, Pakistan, Indonesia, or the Far East in general, it's usually a red flag. Most are scammers out there. They abuse you with payment. The work they give and the payment are not balanced. Especially if it's a fixed payment type, run away from it. There may be good clients from there, but they are rare.

2. How much has the client spent, and when did they join?

If the client has been on Upwork for a long time and has hired many freelancers before, but their total spend is low, it means they don't pay much. They either hire you and become inactive for a while, or they pay a very low amount. If you are looking for your first job, this may not be a luxury you need to have.

3. When did the client join Upwork?

This is debatable. If the client joined recently and they are posting their first job, it may be because their account was blocked previously because they did something malicious, and they are joining with a new account. Or it could really be a new joiner who has none of that history. So maybe you should gamble and apply for the job if the client's location is in Europe or the West and the job description is well written.

4. Number of proposals

If the job has 50+ proposals already, I usually skip applying for it. This may not always be right, but I don't gamble my connects for the rare chance that my application will be looked at. If you are rich, you could bid, but usually the bid will also be higher.

5. What type of freelancers has the client hired before?

I go through the client's previous freelancers and check out the profiles of their previous hires. If it's a mix of different countries and different ratings, it's a green flag. But if they are always hiring from a specific location or only hiring a specific type of rating, like Top Rated Plus, it's a red flag. I will skip it.

6. The client's rating and the ratings the client gave to freelancers

I look at the client's rating and the comments given by their previous freelancers. If it's below 4 stars, I don't dare apply. I also look at the ratings the client gave to freelancers. If it's always 3 or 4 stars, it's a red flag because I will probably not be any different and end up getting the same rating.

I think it's enough for now. Again, this is based on my experience. People who are already on Upwork, the comment section is open for you to share your experience.

A locked door is not the end of your story. The One who created every door also has the keys to all of them. Keep knocking through dua, keep walking through effort and trust that when Allah opens a door, no one can close it.

Sometimes the greatest blessing in our lives is something we'll never fully see.

There may be people who quietly remember us in their dua every single day.

A mother asking Allah to protect her child.
A father praying for success and guidance.
A friend who sincerely asks Allah to ease our burdens.
Someone who loves us for the sake of Allah and mentions our name in their prayers.

We may never know how many hardships were lifted because of those sincere supplications.

If Allah has placed people in your life who sincerely pray for you, then you are richer than you realize.

So don't take them for granted.

Maybe one day someone's unseen dua will be the reason Allah brings light into your darkest moment.

Reading about success won't make you successful.
Watching coding tutorials won't make you a developer.
Watching gym videos won't make you stronger.
Action is the bridge between knowing and becoming.
