Top Challenges You Will Face When Working Online in the Arab World!

The internet has become a fertile field and an important market for work. It also embraces job opportunities. In recent years, there are young people who have turned to work on the internet and achieve financial freedom. Unfortunately, there are those who do not know the risks and consequences of working on the internet, especially since there are jobs and activities that require sitting in front of a computer for 14 hours or more. In the following, we will identify the major obstacles you will face in the Arab world if you want to venture into freelancing!

Money and Financial Aspect:

If you want to work online, my friend, do not think that making money will come overnight. You must study, work hard, and continuously search. If you think reading a few articles in forums is enough, let me tell you to look for something else, because you will be at risk of wasting money, time, and effort. Be vigilant because you will face many attempts of false and pitiful persuasion that will tempt you to buy a book from an unknown source or a course from a specific website, among other things. However, if you specialize in a specific field and start applying, experimenting, and learning from mistakes, be sure that you will have a bright future.
Physical and Mental Health:

 At the beginning of your journey, you will start working for several hours that may exceed those of a government employee. Some fields require you to sit in front of a computer for a period ranging from 5 hours to 18 hours! Do not be surprised if you experience health issues, so you must balance between your work, health, and engage in daily or regular exercise. Also, ensure to provide sufficient time for sleep and self-care to be able to give and create in your work. Do not give up because with effort, you will not remain in this state for long years.
Social Environment:

 Your continuous sitting in front of the computer and sufficient sleep will not allow you time for a social life, considering that humans are social beings. Therefore, mental health experts generally advise organizing and managing your time for a natural and peaceful life!
Insurance:

 As of writing these lines and in the coming years, some Arab countries still do not pay attention to freelancers, so you, my friend, will not have insurance in case -God forbid- you get sick, you will not be able to benefit from discounts to help with medical expenses. It is necessary to have a futuristic view of your life and plan for it, think about your retirement in your youth, and ask a philosophical question: Will I be able to work at the age of 60 with the same vigor as you do now in your twenties or thirties? The answer will likely be no. Therefore, be aware that you will not have coverage at retirement age. Why? Because there are no deductions from your earnings, so they remain all yours, clear as you earned them. This is the difference between you and a government employee, who has deductions from their monthly salary to be compensated upon retirement. In conclusion, think carefully, try to change your way of thinking, develop yourself, and seek a sanctuary to improve your social and economic situation
