Start earning on Cubical
Build a verified profile, apply to real projects from Pakistani businesses, and get paid in PKR via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or bank transfer — every contract protected by escrow.
Three steps to your first contract
No agencies, no middlemen. Go from signup to your first PKR payout in days, not months.
Create your verified profile
Sign up free, verify your identity with your CNIC, and add your university — FAST, LUMS, NUST, GIKI or COMSATS. The verified-grad badge tells clients you're the real deal and gets your proposals seen first.
Apply to jobs & send proposals
Browse fresh projects in your niche, then send a sharp proposal with your rate in PKR, timeline, and a relevant work sample. Tailored bids on Cubical win roughly 3x more interviews than copy-paste ones.
Get hired & paid via escrow
Once hired, the client funds each milestone into escrow before you start. Deliver the work, get it approved, and the money lands in your wallet — withdraw via JazzCash, Easypaisa, or bank transfer in 1–2 days.
Top grads earn Rs 150,000+ a month
Zara Malik (FAST) and Usman Tariq (COMSATS) went from their first Rs 30,000 gig to full-time freelance income within a year. Your earnings scale with your reviews, niche, and repeat clients.

Tips that turn proposals into contracts
Small habits the highest-earning Cubical freelancers swear by.
Build a portfolio that sells
Show 4–6 of your best pieces with the outcome, not just the screenshot. Ayesha Khan (LUMS) landed her first Rs 70,000 brand project by leading with a before/after case study.
Reply fast — within the hour
Clients usually hire from the first handful of replies. Freelancers who respond within 60 minutes are far more likely to get the interview. Turn on notifications and keep your phone close.
Bid fair, not lowest
Underpricing signals low quality. Quote a clear PKR rate that matches the scope — say Rs 25,000 for a 5-page Next.js landing site — and explain what's included. Confidence wins contracts.
Own a sharp niche
“Shopify store setup for Pakistani D2C brands” beats “web developer”. Bilal Ahmed (NUST) doubled his rate within three months by specialising instead of saying yes to everything.
Earn 5-star reviews early
Over-deliver on your first few jobs, hit every deadline, and ask happy clients to leave honest feedback. A clean wall of reviews from Fatima Riaz-style clients compounds into invites.
Personalise every proposal
Name the client's actual problem in your first line and skip the templates. Hamza Sheikh (GIKI) opens with a one-line plan for the exact project — clients notice the effort instantly.
Local PKR payouts, your way
Withdraw approved earnings to JazzCash, Easypaisa, or any Pakistani bank account in 1–2 business days. No dollars to convert, no surprise charges.
Questions freelancers ask
What fees does Cubical charge freelancers?
Creating a profile and applying to jobs is completely free. We take a 10% service fee on what you earn, which drops to 5% as you build a history with loyal clients. No subscriptions, no listing fees.
How and when do I get paid?
Clients fund each milestone into escrow before you start. The moment your delivered work is approved, the funds release to your Cubical wallet. From there, withdraw to JazzCash, Easypaisa, or any Pakistani bank account in 1–2 business days — all in PKR.
How do I get verified?
Verification takes a few minutes: confirm your phone, upload your CNIC, and add your university details. Once approved you get the verified-grad badge, which ranks your proposals higher and builds instant trust with clients in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
How do I land my first job?
Complete your profile to 100%, add 3–4 portfolio pieces, then apply to 5–8 well-matched jobs a day with personalised proposals. Start with smaller fixed-price gigs to collect early 5-star reviews — those reviews quickly turn into bigger invites.
