This is a literal goldmine. Tahir bhai is a gem and you're a great interviewer Ehmad. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@waqasahmedsandhu3274]

there is nobody talking about these stuff in the market, its just outstanding details to know

[@kasper0341]

@18:42 - people can say no but in a more subtle way. use PM triple constraint method. The project management triangle (called also the triple constraint, iron triangle and project triangle) is a model of the constraints of project management. - The quality of work is constrained by the project's budget, deadlines and scope (features). - The project manager can trade between constraints. - Changes in one constraint necessitate changes in others to compensate or quality will suffer.

Mr. Ehmaed, please continue producing this series. It's a real goldmine compared to generic CEO podcasts. Please make at least 10 more videos with guests who are as genuine and honest as the current one. Thanks for your excellent question skills - they are so organized and on point. ~ Anas (Agency Owner)

[@SaifUlIslam-oz9xv]

Brilliant podcast! For my team, we have our biggest client from India so you never know which country's client can provide a better project.

[@Haseeb_HA]

[@MuhammadFaizanVlogger]

Please also explain how to manage your all clients data, pending projects , which platform used to chat with clients, how receive payments(direct bank or Payoneer )...Etc... hope you got my point

[@roshsiddiqui8745]

Very informative, loved the content, Could you make a video which explains how to setup the business infrastructure, resolve legal issues, doing taxes, establish processes for payrolls and hiring, and decide how much to charge for software.

[@BasedTruthSeeker]

Ha bhai tu bas bolde, woh aake sab set karke denge tujhe. Start with an MVP and see market demand. Take feedback from market where they see your product as a market fit, re-iterate versions with feedback loop multiple times. By the end of this development cycle qualitative and quantitative data will give you enough to guage value and move forward to pricing. Always remember, you Dont decide what you sell the market does

[@SIRASIFJALAL]

It is very helpful. Thank you. By the way I am also Python-django developer. Currently jobless from this month and start freelancing now.

[@emotions7219]

Thanks for sharing such insights Sir. I loved that podcast. Sir, I'm a junior front-end developer working in a software house. I'm in 3rd semester at the University of Gujrat. My question is can I start freelancing within 1 year of experience? Plus which kind of projects I should add to my portfolio to stand out? Thanks for your guidance Sir.

[@ScalemyBusiness]

Devsinc follows this dangerous model

[@hamzaramay3385]

really?

[@irfansaeedkhan7242]

I just started freelancing as frontend developer and this video was a gem for me, thank you so much

[@ehmadzubair]

Glad it was helpful. Every share helps

[@JunaidAtique]

This is really good discussion. Another thing you can do to make things even good is optmize the process in such a way that you work at least 2 sprint ahead of the client. For example, while negotiation, tell the client we will start the work in one month time due to current work load, but internally start working on it right away, this way you can mitigate the risk and reduce the burden on the resources.

[@ehmadzubair]

Good point. This typically works at the start of well documented projects because you can never be sure about the customer’s whims :)

[@JunaidAtique]

@@ehmadzubairyeah and that is what really software engineering is. Reducing the risk and manage time and scope.

[@kasper0341]

@34:00 - they don't hire based on courses you've completed!! They hire based on hands on experience.

[@soap4890]

Can you upload your podcasts to google podcasts please?

Aik hi dil hai ehmad bhai, kitni bar jeetu gy Ap ka knowledgable hona, fresher k liye kitna beneficial, I cannot express my feelings in words. This episode clear many of my doubts about business development and client handling. Thank you so much

[@ansarsaeed9024]

Just wanted to know are you both running agencies from 1 upwork profile? When we should go to multiple upwork profiles ?

[@hamzaramay3385]

i think 3rd model is unethical.

[@shubhamharanale9073]

[@Error40499s]

Amazing video, full watched, sir I'm a top rated freelancer on Upwork working on WordPress projects, from a small city. Is it possible to make a software house around it? As you know the earnings are not consistent at all. What should I do to grow?

[@khizarbadshah]

How and when did you started it ?

[@MuhammadFaizanVlogger]

Of course, you can make. Go and rock brother

[@ehmadzubair]

Yes, it is. Wait for the episode with Junaid Qureshi. You'll get your answers in that inshAllah

[@geekedgadgets8941]

39:12 disagree Maine tw Upwork per bhi paid review liya howa hai in 2021 😅. Abh shyd hojata ho ban

[@hashirkhan462]

Hi Ehmad Bhai! After years as a Senior Frontend Developer, I dreamed for the freelance life on Upwork. My initial success was promising, earning great reviews and building my profile. However, due to some violations of platform policies ( I was unaware of that time ), my account was permanently banned. Now, I'm at a great confusion: should i start traditional job again or make another upwork profile by someone else name?. Seeking guidance please!

[@ehmadzubair]

Always use your own name. Don’t misrepresent. Wait for the episode with Hamid Mehmood, you will get an answer to this question in that

[@muneebjatt2004]

Hey bro.As you are senior fronted developer can you please answer my question please. So I started learning Web development b/c university suck and not teaching skills or anything But friends in my circle saying that Fronted is over saturated and salaries are kinda low and finding online work is very difficult.Is it true please tell me

[@muneebjatt2004]

Can you give me estimate salary of Fronted developer with skills and also tell me about online scenerio

[@SyedHussainZaydi]

50-100 hours to complete the upwork profile? Correct me If I have heard wrong.

[@ehmadzubair]

No, that is correct

[@user-gt4ru7tw5m]

amazing podcast but calling humans resource is another level of sense of humour

[@UmerExtra]

Third model is haram. Ullu bna kr kam kro which is total unprofessional.
