Tell us about your business journey

When my parents gave me access to the internet I decided to do something meaningful with it.
That is when I learnt about the term Freelancing.
I learnt that as a Content Writer I could make money from the comfort of my home.
And I became one of the first Freelancers in India.
I started with 50 cents/500 words and in a short time I started getting $5/500 words.
I could delegate work. I built a team of writers across the world.
I wrote content for more than 2000 websites.
And then in the year 2015 I wrote my first Novel.
I then set up my own Publication to help aspiring writers.
