Alongside my day job, I spent about one year, 2024 to 2025, freelancing seriously on Upwork for overseas clients, paid in US dollars straight into my Wise account. Here's what that one year looked like, and how I can help you do the same.

Before you pay
Which one should I pick?
Haven't started yet: the guide. Profile is up but nobody replies: the review. Want it set up properly in one sitting: coaching. Already sending proposals and want someone checking them every week: mentorship.
How do I get paid in Malaysia?
Upwork pays out in USD. I withdraw to Wise, keep it in USD, and change it to ringgit when I need it. The guide walks you through the set-up.
How do the calls work?
After you pay for coaching or mentorship, you land on a booking page to pick a slot: weeknights 9pm to 12am, and weekends, Malaysia time. The Google Meet link is emailed to you.
Can I cancel the mentorship?
Yes, anytime. Email [email protected] and it won't renew. The 3-month option is paid once and simply ends after 3 months.
Is this a get-rich-quick thing?
No. Your results depend on your skills, effort and the clients you land. I can't promise any amount, but I'll share exactly what worked for me.
I'm already freelancing. Anything for me?
The mentorship keeps your proposals sharp. And the Freelancer Income & Invoice Tracker keeps clients, invoices and hours in one RM sheet.
Not financial advice
I'm sharing my own experience, not advice. The Upwork earnings shown are my own real results; yours will be different. Upwork is a separate company and isn't connected to Duit Ayah.
