Marketing Internship

I help online course creators implement marketing strategies that grow revenue | Always driven by purpose

My career journey has been a remarkable non-linear adventure. In 2017, as I was completing my Master’s in International Relations, I faced an unforeseen challenge that redirected my professional path. While this derailed my desired career, I didn't reduce my ambitions; this moment became a catalyst for growth and transformation.

Determined to adapt and thrive, I transitioned into sales and then marketing with WUA, a dynamic Dutch company. This move ignited my passion for marketing, and my skills flourished even further when I joined a forward-thinking startup in San Francisco. During my time there, I gained invaluable experience and insights into the ever-evolving marketing landscape.

By May 2021, I was ready to embrace a new challenge and ventured into a coaching career. When this endeavor took an unexpected turn, I pivoted to freelance marketing in October 2021. Initially, building a client base was challenging, but my perseverance paid off when I joined MarketerHire. This platform enabled me to establish a solid foundation of clients who aligned with my values and vision, including life and career coaches and professionals in the spirituality space.

A pivotal moment in my journey was realizing the importance of aligning my work with my core values. This led to a fulfilling collaboration with Peaceful Media, a marketing agency dedicated to supporting sustainability-focused businesses. 

Together, we launched the "Marketing for What Matters" podcast in 2024, a platform that interviews entrepreneurs and service providers in sustainability, ESG, and agricultural regeneration. Our mission is to foster a community of like-minded professionals committed to making a positive impact.

In line with our commitment to sustainability, we plant trees for every podcast guest in collaboration with One Tree Planted. This initiative underscores our dedication to creating a more sustainable future.

I am passionate about connecting with professionals and entrepreneurs in the sustainability space. If you're interested in being a podcast guest or seeking marketing support, let's collaborate to help your business thrive while making a positive impact.

BATMAN Of Copywriting!

Look... you're about to read something that might change how you think about copywriting forever.

This is Abdullah - not your average word-slinger, but a damn REVENUE MACHINE disguised as a copywriter.

He's a political science student from Pakistan who spends his spare time tweaking classic engines.

He cruises through mountain roads most people only see in travel magazines.

He was just a regular guy until something clicked.

Suddenly he realized he could sell ice to penguins with nothing but his keyboard.

He started using this superpower for good - connecting the RIGHT PEOPLE with the RIGHT SOLUTIONS.

His secret is closing everyone who lands in his inbox.

His buddies joke they can't let him near their girlfriends' phones.

Don't believe me?

Here's what RAKESH LAZAR said about him:

"He started with me as a video editor and now he is my complete social media manager — If he has time for you, Don't let that go"

I love you Rakesh – Guys, hear from Anthony:

"Abdullah has been a great find and an invaluable resource for me and my website… He is the JACK OF ALL TRADES"

I could fill this entire page with people gushing about this guy.

... His words don't just convince - they convert.
... His logic is airtight.
... His experience speaks through every line.
... His gut instinct is scary accurate.
... He reads pain points like a psychic.
... He hears what people mean, not just what they say.
... His marketing knowledge reaches encyclopedia-level.
... His selling approach uses pure psychological artillery.
... HE DELIVERS EXACTLY WHAT HE PROMISES AND MAKES YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIS WORK.

Some smartass saw him chilling by a river and laughed at his career choice.

Abdullah remained cool as ice.

He glanced at his eyes and simply said he was born for this.

He drove off in his 1996 BLACK CIVIC while the other guy puttered away on his 70CC scooter.

Today, you've got a rare opportunity.

Right now, you've got perfect timing.

This kid's trajectory includes mansions, millions, and media appearances.

He's destined for the summit.

That's happening with or without you.

Do you want to be IN his story or just reading about it later?

Would you rather have this talent working FOR you?

When he rises, everything connected to him rises too.

This rocket is launching.

So if you want your business, your account balance, your metrics all pointing UP!

Message him.

Book the call.

Make it happen.

No pressure.

No gimmicks.

Just results waiting to happen.

You bring the business.

He'll bring the words that make it sell.
