IS THIS FOR YOU?
This is for you if…
You have a skill writing, design, development, video, marketing but no idea how to turn it into paying clients.
You've sent proposals on Upwork and heard nothing back. Not even a rejection. Just silence.
You want to earn in dollars, work remotely, and stop depending on a local salary that barely covers the bills.
You're a student or fresh graduate with no portfolio, no testimonials, no idea where to begin.
You've tried other courses and still feel exactly where you started frustrated, stuck, questioning if it's possible.
You need live accountability not another video course you add to your library and never finish.
Not for you if…
You want results without work. No shortcuts. This is a 12-week commitment.
You have no skill and no plan to build one. We teach the system, not the skill.
You can't commit 5–7 hours per week. Half-effort produces zero results.
You want someone to do it for you. We coach. You execute.
Real screenshots. Real students. No actors, no stock photos just proof.

During Cohort Premium, I was applying for jobs and got hired when I updated my Upwork profile according to your course. I'd been trying for 2 years before without success. Thank you for the help. Would appreciate it if you could review my profile and suggest any improvements you think it needs.

A valuable lesson I have learned. I wasn't able to find anywhere like YouTube and other platforms that explain Upwork so straightforwardly.

It was a great masterclass by Raheem. I did not expect Cohort Premium to be in so much depth, but I was amazed by the effort he put into making it. Apart from this, the community is also very strong and always helps newbies. Special thanks to Raheem for answering individual queries as well.

You're doing great work helping many unemployed people—it's truly appreciable.
**Course Review:**
1. In my view, 70-80% of Cohort Premium is based on platform overview and how things work on it.
2. You covered the What and How of the Upwork platform.
3. There are only a few videos where you explained and shared your experience and templates for cover letters, which were valuable to me.
**How it could be better:**
1. The 70-80% you covered could have been covered by the Upwork Community course.
2. Your main focus should have been on advanced things like portfolio templates, testimonial collection strategies, project catalogue creation examples, and research tricks—the way you described the cover letter template.
3. This way you'd have fewer student questions and wouldn't need to review each student's profile (though that effort is positively appreciable).
You could provide resources along with Cohort Premium videos, like documents students can use as notes to improve their profiles. I think this would prevent students from making mistakes even on the first step, like choosing a vibrant profile picture.

I got what I wanted to learn. I've been a graphics designer since 2019. I was a 2nd level seller on Fiverr and got clients on Facebook as well, but I wanted to learn Upwork. I thought I knew about it, but you surprised me. I feel like I didn't really understand freelancing before taking your classes. May Allah bless you!

Your Mentor
I WAS EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE.
I spent months sending proposals that went nowhere. No responses. No clients. Just silence, and the quiet fear that maybe I wasn’t cut out for this.
Then I figured out why it wasn’t working and built a system to fix it. Since then, 6000+ people from all over the world have used that same system to land their first client.
