Once I reviewed the platform and the working atmosphere of PPH, I knew that I had found my destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>How did you get your first client?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a very interesting story. When I updated my portfolio on PPH, it took me only half an hour to feature my Houlies and profile (which is a fantastic feature on PPH) to expose my skills and I started receiving requests from numerous clients almost immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22453 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peopleperhour.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Noman-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"566\"><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>What is the most enjoyable part of being a freelancer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe that creativity doesn&#8217;t have to happen between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm. Freelancers love that they get to make their own schedule and my dreams have come true when I joined PPH. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>And what is a pain?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freelancing is not such an easy job if the freelancer is not part of PPH. PPH makes it a lot easier to earn based on your skills and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Thousands of skilled professionals are planning to take<br \/>\nthe leap and start working for themselves.<br \/>\nWhat advice can you give them?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would advise every freelancer to follow the simple rule, \u201cBe loyal, be creative and be professional\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>How has PeoplePerHour helped you in your journey?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;ll be completely honest with you. If it wasn&#8217;t for PPH, I would have left freelancing a long time ago. As a freelancer, you have to deal with a lot of different clients, and not all of them are professional. PPH has been extremely supportive throughout the years. It&#8217;s not that I never have issues with some of my buyers, it\u2019s that when I do, those situations are handled with utmost dedication. Without taking sides, the PPH support agents always do the right thing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PPH continues to implement new changes to make this platform safer for all the freelancers and buyers and takes good care of all the members by running lots of promotions and sharing tips on how to boost sales.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is part of our series of PeoplePerHour Freelancer Awards 2017 interviews with winners.
