Background
Zain ul Abideen, a 26-year-old graduate from Karachi, had been working a low-paying office job and was actively searching for better opportunities abroad. His goal was to build a digital skill set that could help him land remote international work, specifically in SEO and digital marketing. In February 2025, he enrolled in the SEO Advance Course at SEOTraining.pk, hoping to transition from a local job to a high-paying online role.
Course Experience
The course offered an in-depth curriculum focused on practical SEO strategies including technical SEO audits, on-page optimization, off-page link building, content marketing, and local SEO techniques. Zain learned how to use tools such as Ahrefs, SEMRush, Screaming Frog, and Google Search Console. Additionally, he received training in resume building, portfolio creation, and LinkedIn optimization to position himself for international job opportunities.
Implementation
After completing the course, Zain built a professional SEO portfolio featuring 3 audit reports, live ranking results, and before-after keyword performance snapshots from class assignments. He optimized his LinkedIn profile, published SEO-related articles, and began applying for remote SEO positions through job portals like Indeed Canada, LinkedIn Jobs, and AngelList. He also used cold outreach strategies taught during the course to approach digital marketing agencies abroad.
Results
Within seven weeks of completing the course, Zain received a job offer from a Canadian digital marketing agency looking for a remote SEO executive. He was hired at a starting salary of CAD 1,500/month (approximately PKR 310,000) to manage technical audits, backlink strategy, and keyword research for English-speaking clients in Canada and the US. He now works entirely remotely, maintains a flexible schedule, and has full access to professional SEO tools provided by the agency. His work was highly appreciated due to the strong foundation and communication skills he developed during the course.
