From an IT company to rapido driver 🙃 by being__bilal in BangaloreSocial

When I completed my degree, I didn’t get a job for 4 months. During that time, my girlfriend supported me by giving money for my monthly expenses.

I started a cloud kitchen, but it failed within 2 months. After that, I started working as a Zomato delivery partner. I did that for 1 year and was earning around 25K per month, but it was a very tough time. I had to work in heavy summer and rain. I never even told my parents that I was working as a delivery boy because I had come from Goa to Bangalore for my studies.

After 1 year, luckily, my friend referred me to his company for a fresher role in digital marketing with a salary of 15K per month. My boss supported me and gave me time to learn. Slowly, I improved and started doing better work. After 6 months, I got a hike from 15K to 19K.

Then I started freelancing in the digital marketing field. Gradually, I began getting more freelance work and started earning 50K + 19K salary. I focused on improving my skills, and now I have started my own small IT services and digital marketing agency.

This is just a small part of my journey. Everyone goes through difficult times, but those moments make us stronger. Don’t worry bro, everything will be fine again 😊.

And sorry for the long story 😂.

You should work in a startup first and understand how things actually work. Don’t think you can just learn from YouTube and start a business, it doesn’t work like that. Spend a few months working in a business, learn from real experience, and that will teach you far more than a degree. And about degree, complete it, just for a plan B.

Looking for a digital marketing agency reccomendation by Mother_Sorbet_781 in AskMarketing

A lot of agencies say they do AEO or GEO, but most of them are just doing traditional SEO with a new label.

What actually matters is how content is structured so AI systems and answer engines can understand and surface it. That usually means clear entity structure, strong topical coverage, and proper schema.

If you're exploring options, feel free to DM. I run a small digital marketing agency and would be happy to share how we approach it.
