Hello, Struggler!

First things first, congratulations on finally starting a blog! I know you might think that you are late to the party or have entered a Field which is already so full but it’s okay, every day hundreds of people go to Mumbai to become actors, of course, not everybody becomes Shah Rukh Khan or Akshay Kumar but they try and be proud that you tried.  Every field has its set of competition, struggle and yours, wait, ours is no different!

I honestly, know how it feels becauseI started a month back.  You lose motivation, looking at crazy Followers, that other bloggers have, while yours don’t seem to increase. I know there are times you want to give up, because the article/video you worked super hard for, did not get enough views or no views at all. In that moment, I know you want to give up because sometimes, I do. You question your talent and every little thing that you do. Your parents think this side profession is not worth the time, effort and money. Your relatives, of course, think you are always free, and most of your friends have a lot of advice to offer, but zero help. They will share thousands of tricks that can help you increase your followers but will never share what you do on Instagram/Facebook. It’s okay, not everybody knows how to help. Also, let’s talk about the ‘follow for follow’ or like for like games that people play. They will follow, like your photos or may even comment and if you don’t do the same, they unfollow. I find this process in particular so annoying and frustrating. I don’t plan to participate in this game, I believe with hard work, persistence and destiny by your side, nothing can stop you from achieving what you want.

I am no one to advise as I have just started but all I can say is find your niche, could be anything from lifestyle to fashion to technology or even education, stick to it, love it and be regular! Be very honest about your work, taking inspiration and copying are two different things. So be original because originality is the key to success! It’s not going to be easy, well, nobody has it easy. Do it with dedication, money, I promise, will follow!

So, my dear fellow bloggers, we all are in the same boat that might sink or turn into a five star, oh wait, seven-star cruise! Be patient, don't copy what others are doing, work hard, enjoy your struggle, believe, and always be GRATEFUL! Don't forget to smile while walking towards your dream! 

Lots of Love,

Fellow Struggler

That's me enjoying my struggle!
