Writing is a superpower. It has the power to change the life of the reader and the writer. And if your writing is influential and righteous, it can bring about a positive change in the world. I have realized that with great power comes great responsibility. And I cherish having this writing superpower.

Thus, I’m glad I choose this path to become a writer, blogger, and self-published author. It has changed my life by giving me hope, courage, prosperity, happiness, and love from all around the world. It feels wonderful when readers love your blog articles or books and find them informative and valuable. But it was not a shiny and rosy path in the beginning. I figured out all these things in a hard way, and I don’t want you to suffer that much to get this learning.

My growth as an author was greatly influenced by blogging. I wouldn’t be an author if I hadn’t started as a blogger. After blogging for 3 years, I realized I could publish books and make money from it. Thus, I published my first book in 2019. After that, there was no going back. Today, writing and publishing content online is not my employment, it’s a lifestyle. Making money from my writing was something I never imagined. Professional blogging and book writing made it possible for me.
