The numbers
Why services first
IT/telecom/computer services exports hit a record ~$4.6bn in FY2025-26 (+~21%, SBP via Tribune/P@SHA) — confirms the guide's figure. Freelancer figures conflict by definition: $856m Jul–Mar (Economic Survey), ~$1.16bn IT freelancers (Nukta) and $1.76bn all freelancers (ProPakistani) for FY26 — the guide's ~$959m Jul–Apr sits in between. Call-centre exports grew ~19% to ~$392m (not +43% as the guide states). SBP scrapped Form R and raised the freelancer reporting threshold to $25,000. Offers below are packaged (fixed scope, deliverables, price); observed prices are cited where found, otherwise an editorial suggested price is given and labelled.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which services can I sell abroad from Pakistan?
Software and AI development, digital marketing, e-commerce support, design, writing and translation, bookkeeping, healthcare back-office work, engineering drafting, tutoring and travel services. Each group page lists micro-niches with packaged offers.
Why start with services instead of products?
Services need no stock, shipping or customs, so the 2025-26 changes to small-parcel duties in the US and EU do not affect them. You can start with a laptop and one well-defined offer.
How do Pakistani freelancers receive payments?
Usually through Payoneer or marketplace payouts to a Pakistani bank, SadaPay or NayaPay. Register with PSEB for the tax benefits on IT and IT-enabled services exports.
