1.5 years ago, I joined LinkedIn. (Perhaps, you will relate to this) -to apply for internships -to create a professional "online CV" -to promote events of my college societies Little did I know, LinkedIn had a different plan for me. A few months later, I started posting - about my college life - about my freelance projects - about everything that came to mind I was trying to do something but what exactly? I didn't know. 🤷♀️ But I stuck with these : - Freelance Writing - Personal Branding on LinkedIn - My learnings from college I learned this the hard way: - Don't delay, just start. - Don't think too much, just post. - Don't hesitate, just ask your questions. And..you will figure things out along the way. Question: What's the one thing you struggled with the most during your initial stages on LinkedIn? P.S.

Portfolio ke liye Clients Chahiye🕺 Clients ke liye portfolio chahiye 😭 this one is the biggest problem faced by freelancers nowadays.

As a fresher, you may not have a lot of professional work to showcase. so you should begin with personal projects, volunteer work, collaborations or internships. so stop giving excuses and start building ✨ P.

Got my first 6-Figure salary through content marketing💰in 3rd year of my college! But was it worth it? 🚩 People dream of getting a good pay after graduating so did I.🤓  Little did I know that my start would be in the very 3rd year of my college. So this is how it started; 🎗#Introvert Alert; 🙈  I was not a too outdoorsy person, I used to be on my laptop all the time. In hope of being an overachiever, I used to look for random work-from-home opportunities. I came to know about some websites like #peopleperhour #fiverr #upwork 🎗#explore  I got my first bid on people per hour where a fresh graduate who had just started his start-up was looking for freshers- tech content writers, who would do proper research on his suggested topics and write articles for him. Having 0 knowledge ❌ about tech field I took a chance and started writing posts for his website. That is how I started getting paid in my first semester. I would not reveal the amount as it was too low, and many would not even have considered the offer, but at that point of time I wanted to explore and I have my 💌 for people who work on their ideas and start-ups (The Courage, hats off 🎖). 🎗 #Facebook Groups  Soon, I got to know about Facebook groups for content writers. (Even today, Facebook have official pages for everything) I kept looking for more opportunities, and another popular website liked my work and hired me for a full-time work-from-home job in content writing. From there I started learning about the relevance of keywords, #searchengineoptimization #organicgrowth and I started experimenting on that tech website as well. I was working for both (Still Couldn't leave the start-up). After having a good knowledge of this field along with people who hold similar interests, I started looking for freelance work, where I would get a whole project. I had my experience and now I also have people who would help me in case I am stuck. ⛔ I was doing all this along with my semesters. So, one thing I would emphasize is "SET YOUR PRIORITIES CLEAR". 🎗 Official Mails  I always had a #habit of sending official emails. If I find interest in something, I don't believe in messaging, having casual chit-chats, or sending DMs. "An official mail is the key and if you are getting a positive revert, BAMM!!! YOU HAVE YOUR CHANCE" 🌟 I got a revert from the founder of an Australian Startup, he was looking for someone who would be responsible for his social media appearance- pages including Disclaimer, Website Intro, Career, Blog Posts, Transcripts, Images and more. And Guess who got the project........!🎯  Now, you decide! 💬
