How My First ₹100 Online Changed Everything

The night shift job that became my launchpad to freedom

It was 2 AM, and I was staring at my laptop screen..

Not because of my night shift job.

But because I’d just received a notification that would change my life forever!

“Payment received: ₹100”

That tiny amount, less than what I’d spend on lunch, was the validation I desperately needed.

Let me explain.

I was 5 years into this night shift job, working from home during COVID.

The salary was decent.

I’d just gotten a raise and life felt more stable.

But I knew this comfort came with an expiration date.

Once the pandemic ended, I’d be back to commuting to the office.

I hated it whenever that thought came to my mind.

But it was the fact.

I was already tired of doing a night-shift job and I’d tried finding better opportunities in my city, but nothing worked out.

It felt like a cycle I couldn’t break.

That’s when I stumbled upon a freelancing course.
