Just Some Random Thoughts...

๐Ÿ“One feedback I got about my writing is that it's very simple and plain, e.g., with no complex and difficult words and structure. I want to disclose that it is intentional! I keep it simple and easy so everyone can read.  Not everyone has a Ph.D. degree. Similarly, writing experts say to keep your writing level to a 7th or 8th-grader's level. Marketers say that don't overwhelm them with verbosity. I like simplicity, too.  Image: just an AI image to get your attention. Also, it's non-fiction. Fiction has more scope for creativity and flowery language. I don't like fiction except for some Urdu writers.  ๐ŸŒ In my Analytics, I found that a lot of my readers are non-Pakistanis. I use Urdu phrases sometimes that they obviously won't understand. So, I will translate these phrases for them in the future.  ๐Ÿ—ฝMoreover, I found that the "Hawk-Tuah Girl" was inspired by one of my blog posts where I used that exact phrase (or expression, to be precise). I feel em...

Following are some steps that you must consider for successful web and app design. Photo by ilgmyzin on Unsplash ๐Ÿ‘‰ Decide on the Color Scheme. Colors are the first things that humans notice. This is the first decisive factor that will determine whether the user will spend more time on your site or leave immediately. If your organization or business has an official color scheme then incorporate that in the site design. Analyze how famous brands have done this for inspiration. Keep the target audience in your mind. Note how age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and religion determine color choice.  ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use Approp...

The Flipside Of Freelancing That Nobody Tells You About

In the last decade, freelancing has emerged as a viable option for earning for a lot of people. From the US to Pakistan, the Philippines to India, and Europe to Africa, millions of people offer their services as freelancers. According to Exploding Topics ,1.57 billion people the world over are self-employed. Despite the upsides of freelancing, such as flexibility, convenience, independence, etc., there is a flip side. Here are some of the cons of freelancing: Lack of consistency: Sometimes, you will be working on several projects simultaneously; other times, there will be dry patches when you struggle to find work. This could be due to a lack of opportunities or lack of resources such as sales or bidding experts who can keep the sales pipeline full.
