Summary Of The Article
I’m sitting in my home office near Jim Corbett, and I realized something that blew my mind.
I am helping people globally to monetize their expertise. They build their digital coaching business.
Still, most of the world does not know how to make money online.
This includes 88% of connected humans, who have no idea how to make a single rupee, dollar, or euro online.
This isn’t an Indian problem. This is a global crisis of opportunity that’s hiding in plain sight.
You are missing a big opportunity if you are not taking action.

- 1.57 billion people work as freelancers globally (46.6% of workforce)
- Only 12% of global labor force participates in online freelance work
The Earning Reality:
- 55% of freelancers earn under $50,000 per year
- Even in developed countries, only 42% of freelancers earn $50,000+ annually
- 50% of freelancers struggle with payment issues
India’s Position in This Global Landscape
