\u201cI have 15 years of work experience ,and somehow ,I have managed to be associated with the internet\u00a0space all the time. While I am a strong believe in the 10,000-hour rule(If you keep working at something\u00a0you\u2019ll only get better at it),I also believe in exploring other interests, And ,that explains my journey so far.<\/p>\n
My attraction with sharing thoughts on the internet space happened by chance. We had an in-house
\njournal, called Technology (how boring, right?) in college and I was made the editor. I guess it gave me\u00a0a false feeling that my writing was good enough to be published. So, I began sending articles to various\u00a0leading tech-related journals. Of course I was rejected nine out of ten times, but the one time that my\u00a0article got published, I was absolutely thrilled. Just to see my byline in print and to know that so many\u00a0people were reading it made me really happy! But , I had put in a lot of hard work into all the pieces\u00a0I wrote and didn\u2019t feel like discarding them. That\u2019s when I decided to put them up on free sites. I was\u00a0really surprised that there were many people who interested in reading my articles. In fact ,people starting\u00a0emailing me with feedback and commenting on my work\u2026I realised how powerful the written word was\u00a0and how effective it could be online.<\/p>\n
I feel really old to think that I was around when the term \u2018blog\u2019 was coined(laughs). Anyway, I started\u00a0my own blog and updated it regularly with just about anything travel,work,opinions\u2026suddenly, the\u00a0whole world seemed so much closer! But, what it did substantially was swing open corporate doors. You\u00a0know ,the last three 9-5 job offers I have got have all come through mu blog! And ,In the interview , it\u00a0seemed like they already knew me.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the blog, I\u2019ve got to do many things I wouldn\u2019t have dreamt of doing. I have even got the
\nrate opportunity to write a book- something that was on my \u2018bucket list\u2019! More than just work, sharing\u00a0my experiences online and having a dialogue with people from all over the world has given me the\u00a0opportunity to meet some really interesting people. For instance, I run an online podcast show now,\u00a0which is egoistically called Kiruba.tv(grins), where I meet leaders and achievers from all walks of life.\u00a0This show is already a huge hit because I note only interview noteworthy people ,but also get the public\u00a0involved by including their questions and crediting them in the interview.<\/p>\n
As for making the web space profitable , I think one should explore non-traditional avenues to make
\nmoney! My motto is give away your expertise for free. It may not work immediately because people think\u00a0anything that\u2019s free is low-grade, but you\u2019ll slowly gain creditability and reap the benefits. Another strong\u00a0belief I live by is to be the first in whatever you do.99 percent of people are content to follow someone. It\u00a0is the 1 percent that take the chance who are actually success\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
