ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Usaji Mary

I share real guidance drawn from my own experience of building a career in tech from scratch and now working remotely. My goal is to help young people learn new skills, explore remote work, and build confidence as they grow into tech.

About My Journey

My journey into remote work started long before I ever knew the term existed.

I began my career doing informal jobs, including working as a nanny, before landing my first formal role as an office cleaner. Over time, through consistency, curiosity, and willingness to learn, I grew within that company and eventually became a Business Development Manager. That job gave me a sense of growth, responsibility, and freedom — until the company began struggling and eventually shut down on 31st July 2017. I wasn’t fired; the business simply could no longer survive, and we all went home

After months of unsuccessfully applying for jobs, I took a referral role just to survive. While it paid the bills, the rigid structure, long hours, and lack of autonomy made me deeply unhappy. I knew I couldn’t spend my life in work that drained me. Looking for alternatives, I turned to Google, searching for ways to earn online. That search led me to YouTube, where I discovered people working remotely and living with flexibility and choice.

With very limited resources, no personal laptop, and no tech background, I invested $10 in an online course and committed to learning consistently for two hours a day. I studied before and after work, using office internet when I had to. When COVID hit in 2020 and I lost my job again due to company closure, I doubled down on learning from home using a borrowed laptop.

Within months, I completed my course, built my first portfolio, updated my LinkedIn profile, and landed my first remote client — earning in dollars for the first time in my life. That moment marked a turning point. What started as a survival decision became a sustainable remote career.

Five years later, I work remotely with global clients, earn more than I ever did in traditional employment, travel frequently, and have control over my time. My story is proof that remote work is possible for ordinary people starting from zero — with clarity, consistency, and courage to begin.

MY JOURNEY UNFILTERED

Your Blueprint for Global Income

This book is the direct result of my proven success, a step-by-step guide designed to cut through the noise, skip the hard work, and lead you straight to securing your first high-paying remote role and global income.

I believe that the biggest barrier isn’t a lack of opportunity, but a lack of a clear, actionable system. This book is that system.
