Along the way, I documented the lessons and want to share them with you.

Hi there, I’m Hosam. 👋
In 2018, I started freelancing while working full-time as a customer support agent.
As I took on more jobs, I began standardizing the delivery of my work. I didn't know it then, but I had unintentionally productized my services.
Over the next 3 years, I transformed my side hustle into a business and began to operate as an entrepreneur instead of a freelancer.
I created a reputable brand and signed clients like Snap Inc., Blockchain.com, and SimplyHired.
Eventually, I sold my company, SupportOps, to a larger service provider.
I built Starter Academy because I want to help ambitious self-starters like you do the same.
A little more about me:
Generated $425,000+ in revenue while working a full-time job
Sold SupportOps for $210,000 with no employees or proprietary software
Taught 800+ beginner freelancers how to get started on Upwork at www.freeupworkcourse.com
Grew my audience to over 10,000 on LinkedIn
Regardless of where you're at in your journey, there's a membership option to help guide to building your business.
