Hello Everyone, I am deepa, and I am so excited you’ve found your way to my Blog.
I would like to let you know that you are one of the first audiences who reached my page and I am glad about it.
This is my first try to reach more people like you, so I really hope you like this blog.
What is this Blog about?
This is blog is completely about me.
Then why is the heading written to be “Blogging”?
Because this blog is about my journey of trying to become a blogger.
Yeah, So this blog is completely about me. Before I tell you my journey of trying to become a blogger. Let me Introduce myself a little.
Do you know why you need to know about me?
Because, I am sure by the time you read till the end, you start to like me and my content. So, moving on…..
I am Deepa Sri, I am from India, a country known for its culture and heritage. I have finished my bachelors and I moved to Australia to pursue my masters.
Yeah, this is formal Introduction.
Now let me tell you about my journey of trying to become a blogger.
When I moved to Australia to pursue my masters, it was my first time staying away from home. I was so depressed for the first six months cause I didn’t have the money or work and above that I was missing my family terribly, but then I came out of it slowly and started looking for work. Finally, I got some work to meet my expenses (guys please note this – those are one of my first earnings) I was overwhelmed just by thinking that I am able pay my rents and bills, that kinda satisfaction made me feel like I need more money and that’s how the thought of having a side hustle rose in my mind. From there, I started to search for one such side hustle that suits me and my goals.
I went through Google, YouTube and Instagram to find the best one for me. There are many options infront of me like, doing YouTube, becoming a Influencer, Teaching, Investing and many more (Honestly, the list never ends).
See, I am normal girl with big dreams but I have never imagined myself as a person whom everybody recognizes. So, influencer is always a no to me (I mean it is not an easy thing too). Then comes doing YouTube, Yes! I did YouTube, as I said I am not that person who comes infront of camera, So, I tried three different channels with three different ideas at a time. I thought of uploading some stories with AI generated visuals. I did upload some, but trust me even I didn’t like my work. I have put in the hard work, yet I failed, I believe that’s because I am not going in the right direction, some how I lost interest and left that.
Then came the idea of Blogging.
Again, I was soo excited, this time even I doubted myself, I felt this will also end up like YouTube and I didn’t even give a try. For some reason, this thought of becoming a blogger, didn’t leave my brain. So, I collected all my confidence once again and decided to give a try.
I went to chatgpt and asked about the platforms to write blogs, there are various platforms and think what I might have chosen?
Definitely the cheapest one, blogger.com. So, when I read about benifits that other platforms have, I also realised that I need to pay for those platforms. So I thought, First I will write my blogs in this free platform, earn money and move to other platforms.
Yes, I did that. I wrote two blogs in blogger.com and posted them. I didn’t even get a single view. Shall I tell you a joke? I applied for adsense to my blog. As expected, I got rejected. I failed again.
But this time, I didn’t loose interest. Though I left it for many days, everytime I think about side hustle, this one motivates me. I thought may be I should focus on my studies now and think about it later. I started to do that also, but still that hunger of becoming a blogger is not leaving, so yesterday, when I was thinking about blogging, my thoughts were
“Okay, I understand I want to become blogger, I understand I want to make this as my side hustle,But –
On what niche I will write blogs?
Who will read my blogs?
What if noone reads?
Will I be successfull in this?
What if it becomes like YouTube?
All my time will get wasted.
The premium amount that I pay for platforms will get wasted.”
All these thoughts were revolving in my mind. Trust me for the first time, my innervoice told me that I will Win.
My Inner Voice is like –
If a group of people who are born and brought like me in this world (scientists), can send send a thing called rocket to an other planet.
If people are travelling to moon.
Why can’t I do this? Is it tougher than that? Definitely no.
I swear, what I told you is true. These are the exact thoughts that were running in my mind
And that’s it. here we are with this blog.
[LET ME TELL YOU A BACK STORY]
When I was doing my bachelors in india, I have a laptop and internet connection, So I thought I should do something and earn money, In the same I went to google and asked how to earn money online, it said blogging, I created my account, but at that time may be bacause new and all, I couln’t understand platform and blogging, so I left it. Again after these many years, when I opened my blogger.com account, I felt so nostalgic. I felt maybe this is my thing, I shouldn’t have given up that day.
Yeah! I feel like how many ever times I leave it, Universe is giving back to me again and again and again.
This time, I am gonna be as transparent as I can, I will be honest.
Coming to my niche, what are my blogs about?
Honestly, I am not really good at anything. but as an Individual, I always believed sorted,calm and peaceful life. I am cleanliness freak, I love routine life, I love myself to an extreme level, I feel so comfortable with myself.
So, I decided to talk about these things only, I don’t know what to name this, may be self development or self love or personal growth, I don’t know, you name it.
