Let me be honest — I didn’t come from a marketing background.
I didn’t have a fancy degree. I didn’t attend big-name digital bootcamps.
I didn’t even know what “SEO” or “Google Ads” meant back in 2019.
But what I had?
One laptop.
A mobile internet connection.
And a deep hunger to figure things out.
🌱 My Story Starts from a Small Village in Bihar
I started working in 2018 as a customer care executive at Call2Connect. Then moved to a political project. After that, I worked as a tele-counselor for educational institutions.
I was earning just enough to manage daily life. But deep inside, I knew this wasn’t the end.
Then came the lockdown.
Like everyone else, I was stuck at home. But I saw it as an opportunity.
🔍 The First Spark: “What is Digital Marketing?”
While scrolling one day, I stumbled upon a free resource on digital marketing.
I had never heard of it before, but the idea of helping businesses grow online really clicked.
So I started watching free videos.
Reading blogs.
Practicing everything I learned.
No paid course. No certificate. Just raw curiosity.
I didn’t just consume content. I implemented it.
💼 My First Break: An Internship in SEO
After months of self-learning, I applied for internships — and one company said YES.
That was my entry point into real work.
I started as an SEO intern… and within 3 years, I grew into the Digital Marketing Manager of that same company.
I didn’t jump jobs. I stayed, learned, experimented, and handled real campaigns — from keyword research to running Google Ads.
🔁 From Employee to Freelance Consultant
As I kept sharing what I knew and helping others, I started getting referrals.
Small businesses began approaching me for help with:
-
SEO
-
Paid ads
-
Website improvements
One project led to another… and I got to work with 20+ businesses across different industries.
That’s when I realized: this is no longer just a job. It’s my path.
🚀 What I Learned Without a Degree
-
Consistency beats talent
→ I wasn’t the smartest. But I showed up every day. -
The internet is a free university
→ Everything I needed to learn was already out there. -
Real work teaches more than any course
→ Client projects taught me more than any PDF or video. -
Helping people creates opportunity
→ Most of my clients came through word-of-mouth, not ads.
👨💻 Today, I Help Businesses Grow Online
From running ads that convert to building websites that perform —
I now work with businesses to help them grow with clarity.
I also lead a small team where we do work that’s simple, smart, and focused on results.
But I still carry the same mindset I had in 2020:
Keep learning. Stay curious. Keep building.
✨ Final Words for Anyone Just Starting Out
You don’t need to be an expert.
You don’t need to have a degree.
You just need to start.
Learn one skill.
Practice it every day.
Say yes to small opportunities.
And don’t quit.
If someone from a small village in Bihar can figure it out —
you can too.
Let’s grow together. 💪
