Nothing hurts more than investing time and effort without any progress. That's where the majority of people give up when they do not see any reply, not even a NO for their emails :) Last month was amazing for me. I got a chance to work with multiple content writers, freelancers, and founders. But time does change, it's been 11 days into July, and I haven't written any blog yet. (but every day feels like a busy day;/ Idk what's this type of procrastination) So, I decided to outreach business owners and founders. I sent 20-30 cold messages on LinkedIn. Personalized connection request helps, and many of them accepted it after reading this. What shocked me more was that they just accepted and did not reply :) (maybe they would be busy :/ ) Here comes the follow-up technique. (i do not generally do this, but what's wrong with trying?). One of the founders sent me their mail and asked me to send the commercials and more details over there :) It didn't attract me much,...

I ruined a fantastic opportunity myself. Two days back, I got a chance to interview with a US-based AI company for their content and copywriting work. I filled out the form, and a DM dropped in my LinkedIn to fix a date for an interview. The first round went well, but where the problem happens? After the first interview round, she asked me to send my resume and portfolio along with an assignment. And yes, even if I have worked with multiple clients from India and abroad, the assignment I sent to her was not at par. I knew it, but I still sent it because I had already delayed it to 28 hours. The moment I sent the mail, she immediately opened the doc. I was still making some edits on it. (first mistake) Second, she had shared the doc with other company members too, and they saw the work that I didn't like much. I knew I had wasted this. Within two minutes, I got the mail and texted she'll get back to me. I knew what she meant :) But what exactly happened because? Of which I lose ...

 It was the year 2013 when we shifted from a small village to a big city.  I saw huge buildings for the first time. It was the first time I saw this huge number of people in one place. The first time, I got to know what a private school actually looks like. 🤯 I was new to this city culture, but it did not take much time to get used to it.  My mom, who used to be a house maker for 18 years, decided to give her a new career. She asked my father to create her resume and started giving interviews to private schools for the position of primary teacher in any school. Fortunately, she tried in the same school as mine, and she got the job. I remember, my mom told me what my school principal said to her, even if she does not have perfection in English, she got this job because she got inspired seeing her journey, and starting a new career after 18 years. She believed in my mom because of her confidence. She realized it on the first meet itself.  And from then, there is no go...

My favorite subject was Physics so I decided to continue in that itse...

Technology is controlling the world and one such technology is Artificial intelligence. Now we can see AI-based digital products in every house.  There's no lack of digital assistants like- Siri, Cortana, Bixby, Google Assistant, etc.  But users choose Alexa.

"  You know, I was having my lunch when I saw a message with your Instagram profile linked to it. It said you are looking for someone easy to talk to and caring person.  Oh sorry, It wasn't your message. She sent the message at the same time :)  So, you are looking for someone to write creative copies for your LinkedIn posts and Twitter threads. Or to be precise, you are looking for a junior copywriter. So, I ignored that message and continued chatting with her till I finished my lunch. After an hour, I realized I am yet to realize what's more important to me. So, I opened up my mail and started writing this for you. The mail has a text written in bold that said: "Write three reasons why he should hire you". To be honest, I think three reasons are either too much or too little to judge someone. But still, I want to be hired so I think I have to write about that.  But before telling my qualities, I need to find one for myself.  Am I creative?  Am I good at c...
