About me in four minutes
Last updated: 29 Jan 2025
I’ve been into too many things almost since I got into this blogging profession.
Photography was the first thing I picked up that could’ve been a profession. I almost got into it, but then something even more interesting & expressive happened.
It was back in 2010, during my college days when I saw Dr. John Watson (Google it if you’re not aware of who he is) busy on his laptop. That’s when I heard Sherlock say “blogging,” & it immediately caught my attention.
With no resources to know more about it, I slept with the idea of this fancy term. It wasn’t too late when I saw my friend spending time on something called “Blogspot.”
Long story short, my friend helped me set up & understand my Blogspot account. That was in early 2011 that I started blogging. I had absolutely zero ideas about this & how am I going to take this forward. But I did.
I eventually discovered things related to my passion; curiosity drove me & things started taking their course. I got attention, landed a couple of clients & off I went.
It wasn’t very late that I realized I could build a personal brand out of my work. I began by sharing my digital marketing experience, but it didn’t stick on the wall.
I had to explore myself even further. I couldn’t define myself because I was into too many things. I need a clear picture, a clear line between everything I did.
I was passionate about photography, cryptocurrency, technology trends & digital marketing. But I needed a purpose to be able to work for years to come. Personal branding gave me that purpose.
Purpose keeps you waking up every morning & getting out of your bed. Passion is selfish; a purpose puts people ahead of you.
And there it was, after almost a decade-long digging, I had my purpose right before me. I wanted to help people build a personal brand.
I knew people had the wrong mindset & misunderstanding around this topic.
I’m not saying I know it all, I know I & many people are mistaken about personal branding & I’m gonna help them realize by myself realizing it first.
How would I communicate my realization to the people? Blogging, which I spent a decade practicing. I’m a blogger who prefers text over any other form of media.
While video is the fastest mode of communication, I still depend on text to promote it.
The bottom line is I want people to know me as a blogger talking about things I care about — for now, it’s “Helping writers become better creators.”
Why you should define yourself clearly?
It took me a decade to realize that I want to be known as a blogger to people I care about, my audience.
If you’re reading this & have not defined yourself as clearly as I have, it’s time you lock yourself in a room without your smartphone or laptop & think about how you want people to know you.
The underlying definition of my profession is “Create better creators.”
3 words. Defining my professional life. Just three words.
With this definition, all my goals are set straight as an arrow & I can now focus on content.
I know three of the most fundamental things a personal brand should be aware of:
- Who am I creating for?
- What is their problem I can solve?
- What’s the outcome I want to have for both of us?
You, too, can have this clarity if you truly define yourself as clear as this. You’ll know it's true when you have a “that’s the one” feeling.
That’s three minutes of your time. I'm generously thankful to you if you’ve made it so far. We’ll have a long association.
Lastly, you can find me on Twitter, LinkedIn & Instagram if you have any questions to address. I share a ton of content on these platforms; I’m sure I can add value while you’re on those platforms.
I’m also writing a weekly newsletter where I share the growth stories of founders and how they grew their side hustle/business without spending on ads.
