What workedA graphics freelancer in Kotalipara, Gopalganj, in a Prothom Alo report

A year of bidding before the first job, and over 11,000 dollars on Fiverr since

About a year of losing bids on Freelancer.com before the first accepted job, worth 250 dollars. The first Fiverr order was 5 dollars; cumulative Fiverr earnings now exceed 11,000.

This man from Dharabashail village in Kotalipara, Gopalganj, once worked as a mason's helper. After training in computer graphics he began bidding for work on Freelancer.com, and it took about a year before a client accepted him - a year with no income at all. His first online earning was 250 US dollars, for a football World Cup sponsor logo. His first Fiverr order, in 2017, was worth 5 dollars; the report puts his cumulative Fiverr earnings at over 11,000 dollars. He now also designs 8-10 printed magazines a year and has built a two-storey house in his village. No starting capital figure is given.
