Hey!
A heartfelt welcome to this new digital space of mineā£ļø
Iām Sweta, a publication editor turned full-time content creator. I live in India with a lovely family!
This whole ācontent creationā thing happened in my life magically.
I have no idea why I posted my first piece of content online, especially when no one around me ever talks about going for unconventional careers.
Frankly speaking, my mom & dad still have no clue what I do all day on my laptop. They just know Iām doing something āONLINEāš
Anyways, let me give you a brief flashback where it all startedā¬ļø
I started creating content in the later half of 2021 with Pinterest, completely clueless about what I was doing.
I had no idea what to create, how to create it, and the thought of making money from it?
That wasnāt even on my radar. (I was just loving the dopamine rush when those monthly page views went up!)
As I mentioned earlier, it was all a coincidence!
I spent almost 2 years exploring Pinterest on and off, dabbling in different side hustles along the way.
But honestly, it wasnāt my top priority - I had a 9-5 that took up most of my time and energy.
I was actually very happy with that job. It was my first job and probably the last.
I made some wonderful memories, meet some amazing people, and developed a lot of social skills - there were plenty of perks!
But on the flip side, I also encountered some seriously toxic people who taught me some tough but valuable lessonsā¦
Iāve seen some great results from trying out different side hustles.
You can head over to my Medium profile to have a glimpse of some of them. (Iām not going into those details here, otherwise this post might turn into a novel!)
