What workedA freelancer in Noakhali, in a Prothom Alo report · Started in 2021

Google Ads work from a wheelchair, at 1 to 1.5 lakh taka a month

Paralysed in both legs by a 2017 accident, he trained in 2021 and built a practice in Google Ads and e-commerce work, now earning 100,000-150,000 taka a month through Fiverr and Upwork.

This man from Dagonbhuiyan in Noakhali was paralysed in both legs in a motorcycle accident in 2017 and found the ordinary job market closed to him. He passed his SSC in 2015, sat his HSC in 2018 and completed a BSS in 2023. He took formal training in 2021 and built a practice in Google Ads management, conversion tracking and e-commerce work on Shopify and WordPress, selling through Fiverr and Upwork, though learning those platforms was hard going at first. The report puts his income at 100,000 to 150,000 taka a month and says the work scaled up after he became a certified professional in 2025. His starting capital and time to first income are not stated.

Lessons
