Within 5 months?

May 18, 2022 7:15 pm

Good evening .


Yeah,


I know it's late. 


I'm sorry for sending this mail this late. 


I had actually given up on writing to you today, 


But then, I decided I had to write to you today. 


Especially considering that I want to share with you a milestone I recently crushed.


It's not that big of a milestone really, 


But it's something I never really thought I could achieve. 


If I was asked whether I could reach such a milestone one year ago, I'd probably have doubted myself. 


But here I am, few months in and I did it. 


And in a moment I will tell you all about this milestone. 


But, here's an important lesson you need to let sink into your mind. 


In life, opportunities will come your way. 


Sometimes once as the saying goes, 


Other times, not necessarily once,


But one thing is for sure. 


You will miss those opportunities if you're not prepared for them. 


In fact, you may not even recognize them as opportunities, because you're not paying attention. 


When I started out in the online space, I really didn't know where to pitch my tent. 


I tried affiliate marketing, Graphics Design, Copywriting, content writing and all. 


Along the line, I started putting out content on my WhatsApp and Facebook social media platforms and people started seeing my work,


But I wasn't getting any engagement. 


Then one day, out of the blue, one of my friends who was a content writer reached out to me. 


It happened that he was working with a social media management agency, and they were looking for someone to manage a page for their client. 


The person would also be required to create content for the page and also to make simple designs for the posts on the page. 


Guess who was a budding content writer and graphics designer at that time. 


Yours truly. 


So my friend told me about the job and eventually, I got it. 


It wasn't a huge contract in terms of the money, but it was good for a start,


And the best part about it was that I could work from home or anywhere really. 


Truth be told, I was very confused when I got started. 


I didn't know anything about how to manage a page, grow the followers, and a whole lot of other stuff I needed to know. 


But I learnt them on the job and I am still learning till now. 


At the very least, the small milestone I just crossed is evidence that I have grown from that ignorant young man I was when I started managing the page into the man I am now. 


(That doesn't mean I have stopped or will stop learning though) 


And the fact that I was able to do it in a relatively short period or time, with my little experience, that's something. 


I mean, who would have thought that I would have been able to grow the followers of the page from around 20 when I started, to 1000+ now? 


Even better, within 5 months? 


No one. 


Not even I would have thought of it, or believed it. 


But It all started with me preparing myself unconsciously for opportunities, and when this one came by, I was ready to take it, 


And even though I wasn't necessarily a professional when I started, I was able to get it because I put myself out there. 


There are tons of other lessons you can learn from all that I have shared with you tonight,


But I will leave you to figure them out yourself. 


Till tomorrow when we meet here.


Have yourself a nice night. 


To your digital success, 

King Danisan™
