hi everyone I hope you guys are doing really great
today I wanted to have a small chitchat with you and also tell you how I came
across this opportunity of earning 120 dollars per hour as an international
student here in Australia when I was working in our part-time job right so
without any further ado let's get started so here we go I came to
Australia in the year of 2017 probably um on July 29th I believe yeah July 29th
2017 I was here in Australia I landed and one of my friend came to pick me up
and then he dropped me to a shared accomodation well that's where I was supposed to stay
there for about a couple of weeks because I didn't have a secure
accommodation so once that was done I tried to search for jobs the next day it
self because I I just I just got freshed up I slept and then the next
day morning I got up at around 1:30 or 2:30 because of jetlag
so once that was done I started searching for jobs I came across Gumtree
I came across you don't believe I called up a lot of people to ask for jobs there
were a lot of restaurant owners that told me you have to come open the
restaurant do all the work I was not comfortable but I thought okay let me
get started because we have to get started somewhere right so I said okay
fine let's do that and then then there was this restaurant owner who asked me
to go for three days of trial in his restaurant and that's what I did it was
it was an Indian restaurant here in the northern suburbs I don't even know if we
have to call that as northern suburbs but yeah I went there for about
three days and then I left that because I didn't like the way they
treated me and it's not that I didn't want it to work as a waitstaff
in any restaurant it's not that way it's all about how the others treat you so I
didn't like the way how I was getting treated and then I said look um I don't
think so this is the right job for me I don't think we're a good fit so I'm
sorry and then he he tried to tell me that I am NOT going to pay you but
anyways it was trial and wouldn't even discuss about the pay I was like that's
fine I don't mind at least I got this experience and I know how it feels like
working in a restaurant as days passed and then I came across this
app called airtasker because you know you don't even believe I got to know
about this air Tasker in a completely different way so there was something
that got spoiled in my house in the house where I was staying in a shared
accommodation and then these guys were talking about
okay let's post on air Tasker and see if someone's going to come and then I
quickly went ahead and asked them okay what is the deal with iartasker let
me you know I need to know this and then they told me that okay this is all about
you post-task and someone comes over and gets the task done then I asked them
okay is there any way that we can we can be the tasker and we can start working and
then they said oh you're not pretty sure but yeah you can just do it and then I
went ahead on YouTube I searched for air Tasker I searched for all the
application you know set up and all that stuff and I got set up on now
with that being said during that time itself I had to shift to another shared
accommodation because my stay in that particular shared accommodation was done
so I shifted and I had to pay my bond and had to pay my rent
so there was a lot of expenses and I didn't carry much with me when I came
from India I can about $1,000 I believe and I already had to pay rent
in the first shared accommodation and I had to buy a lot of stuff so you know
almost $500 yeah $500 were done and and I just had $500 extra with me that's it
and I had to pay my born my drained with the other guys as well so and then I
went ahead and I started applying to toss on hsker and I came across a lot of
photography jobs you know under airtasker it's not that they always need a
professional photographer they need someone who has the equipment and who
can click decent photographs so what I did was I applied I told them look this
is the equipment I have fortunately because I'm doing YouTube I have this
camera have this tripod and I have that creative mind as well for me so I I said
that look I I click decent photographs and I sent them my portfolio this is how
my photographs look and I updated my bio on at her skirt and all that's done and
boom someone hired me so they they told me that okay we are going to give you
$100 for one hour um for one hour for so and so many photographs and we need the
photographs immediately so my camera has got this option of transferring the
pictures using the same Wi-Fi onto your mobile phone you know there's this kind
of option in my camera so I said that awesome I'll come over and I did that
gig and I got about a hundred dollars hundred dollars for that one hour it was
about 10 photographs 10 15 photographs that I clicked and I didn't know how
pricing worked but I thought for one hour look I'm not even struggling much
I'm just clicking photographs I like doing this so 100 dollars is pretty
much decent and not so bad so I got that done so I did a lot of photography gigs
on Airtasker and I'm not a professional photographer so yeah I did a lot of
video editing gigs on at Haskell people paid me $250 350 dollars because
they wanted you know they wanted to curate a cute simple video for their dad
for their husband with all their birthdays you know these kind of gigs
that the super fun the creative you don't have to struggle much so and I
ended up getting a lot of children jobs through a task as well so I I used to
charge $40 per hours to charge $30 per hour
I used to charge 40 and $30 per hour based on the number of sessions they had
per week that will be in total how much I needed for that particular month you
know so that's how I used to charge they loved what I was doing and then fast
forward to two months fast forward to two months I think yes
fast forward to two months what happened was I came across the studio job it's
not even a Tudor job so someone posted that look we are looking for a youtuber
who has some good analytics and who is actually growing on your team and who
knows how YouTube works that's it that gig was the one that helped me you know
charge 120 per hour and I had two sessions per week I did that about for
about three months of four months that was really good and I loved doing that
so there was this tiny girl for whom I had to film videos and editing the
father used to do editing so I had to help them send the lights what just
happened okay so I had to help them set the lights fill a play with the camera
play with the angles that's what that's what I was supposed to do and I had to
go there for about an hour or a couple of hours every Saturday because that's
the day when I was pretty much comfortable so I went there I
there every Saturday and I told him look I charge 120 per hour because this is a
load of work it may not be a load of work for one hour but it's a lot of a
mind work because you need to decide on the angles
my friend so you need to decide on the angles you need to decide how lighting
works you need to set up the camera there's a lot of technical things that
goes behind all right so I told them they were really happy to
do that I really went along with the small girl as well she was so cute
I helped hurt I don't remember her talents in the in-flight now but yeah I
did help her for about 3-4 months and then after four months why I had to quit
that was because I got my PT trainer job the PD trainer job I I was supposed to
invest more time and effort into it and that's the reason I left all my QT jobs
or my side gigs everything and I was just focusing on that one job so that
was how I came across this gig where and I was getting paid $120 but I would as
an international student here in Australia and you don't believe guys
there's gold on air Tosca you just have to find the right one and you have to
communicate in in in a much more better way in a professional way such that
people trust you and people think that people should believe that you have that
skills and they are paying to the right person this they're shelling out the
money to the right person I hope this video was good and um don't forget to
