Who writes

Who writes the SkillsVerx blog?

Articles go out under the SkillsVerx Team byline: the people who build and teach our courses. The team page shows who is behind it and lists every article they have published.

We write about the skills we teach: AI skills, SEO, digital marketing, ecommerce, AI automations, graphic design, video editing and accounting software. Our readers are students, graduates, freelancers and working professionals in Pakistan, so the examples use the platforms and rules they deal with, such as Upwork, Fiverr, Daraz, Payoneer and FBR.

Research

How do we research a guide?

Each guide starts from a question a real reader asks, then goes to the source.

  1. Primary sources first. Official documentation and the organisations that set the rules: Google Search Central for search, a platform’s own help centre for its fees and policies, and government bodies such as the Federal Board of Revenue for tax.
  2. Named secondary sources only when needed. When no primary source covers a point, we use a reputable publication and name it in the text.
  3. No invented numbers. If we cannot find a reliable source for a figure, we leave the figure out and explain the point in plain terms instead.

Sources

How do we cite sources?

Every fact carries its source, and you can see the source without leaving the passage.

Where do the links go?

We link to the source where the fact appears, not in a list at the bottom, and we name it in the sentence so you know who is speaking. We link to the original page rather than someone else’s summary of it.

How are salaries, fees and other figures handled?

Figures such as salaries, fees or market sizes always carry their source, and we present them as that source’s figure. They are never a promise of what you will earn after a course.

Review

How is an article checked before it goes live?

Every article passes the same steps before it is published.

  1. Fact check. Each claim is checked against its source, and every link is opened to confirm it works and says what we say it says.
  2. Editorial review. A team member reads the full draft for accuracy, clarity and tone, and removes anything that sounds like hype or an income promise.
  3. Publish with a date. The article goes live with its publish date shown under the title.

AI use

Do we use AI to write articles?

Yes, and we would rather say so plainly.

What does AI do?

AI tools help us outline, draft and tighten some articles. They do not decide what is true.

What does a person on the team do?

Our team fact-checks, reviews and edits every AI-assisted draft before it is published, and a person on the team is responsible for what goes out. It is the same rule we teach in our courses: use AI for speed, and your own judgement for accuracy. We never publish AI output that no one has reviewed.

Updates

How do we keep articles up to date?

Tools, platform policies and tax rules in Pakistan change often. When a change makes a guide wrong or out of date, we revise it, and the article shows the date of that update next to its original publish date. Small fixes such as a typo do not change the date.

Corrections

How do you report a mistake?

Send us a message through the contact page. Tell us which article, which passage, and what you think is wrong, with a source if you have one. We check it against the source and fix the article if we got it wrong. When a correction changes the meaning of a passage, we say so in the article.

Independence

Can companies pay to be featured?

No. We do not accept payment to feature, rank or link to any product, service or company. When a guide names a tool, it is because learners use it or ask about it. When a guide mentions a SkillsVerx course, it is clear that the course is ours.

Spotted something wrong?

Tell us which article and what needs fixing. We check it against the source and correct it.
