Why I Quit My Job & Started Blogging?

A lot of people are thinking about quitting their jobs to start something new. For me, it was a different story.

A Different Story of Pursuing Dreams

Let me start with a short introduction,

Name: Ajmer Singh

Country: India

Degree: B.Tech (But, it doesn’t matter to a blogger. Cheers to all)

Blogging: Full-time blogger (5+ years and counting…)

Hey there, my name is Ajmer Singh, and I’m really excited to share my blogging journey with you.

It’s a story that’s close to my heart, filled with ups and downs, but ultimately led me to a place where I found my passion, freedom, and happiness.

So, sit back, relax, and let me take you on a journey through my life.

From a 9-6 Job to Full-Time Blogging

Let’s go back in time a bit.

I was just like many of you, tired and fed up with the same old routine of my job from 9 to 6.

I felt trapped, having to follow orders even when they didn’t seem right, and not getting the appreciation I deserved.

I wanted something more, something that would allow me to break free from the usual way of doing things and be my own boss.

A Friend’s Suggestion That Changed Everything

One day, a close friend of mine saw how tired and frustrated I was and suggested that I try blogging.

At that point, I had no idea what blogging was all about, but I was desperate for a change, so I decided to give it a try.

Like anyone curious, I turned to the internet to find answers. I had so many questions in my mind.

How much money could someone actually make through blogging?

Could I do it part-time or would it require all of my time and effort?

How long would it take to see any results?

The more I searched, the more I realized that people were making millions through blogging. I was excited and couldn’t wait to learn how to start my own blog.

Transitioning from Tech to WordPress & Blogging

Since I was on a tight budget, I started my blogging journey on the Bloggers platform, focusing on technology.

It was a simple beginning, but it allowed me to dip my toes into the vast possibilities ahead of me.

For the first 3 to 4 months, I poured my heart and soul into creating content and connecting with fellow bloggers in the tech community.

However, as time went on, I felt a strong pull towards a different focus.

I wanted to share my experiences and knowledge about WordPress and blogging itself.

So, after careful thought, I made the brave decision to switch gears and focus on that.

It was a leap of faith, but little did I know that it would lead me closer to my true calling.

Struggles, Support, and Self-Motivation

I won’t hide the fact that the early years were tough. I faced many challenges, and there were times when I felt completely alone.

The people around me didn’t understand my passion or the potential that blogging had.

I had to deal with criticism and doubt, even from my own family members.

But in the midst of those difficult times, I held onto the things that kept me going.

My burning passion for blogging was my guiding light, igniting a fire within me that refused to die out.

I was determined to prove myself and show the world that my dreams were valid.

I learned to be patient and understood that success wouldn’t come overnight.

Every setback and obstacle became an opportunity for me to grow and learn.

My journey wasn’t without setbacks and moments of sadness.

There were times when I felt overwhelmed and wondered if I had made the right choice.

I had moments of self-doubt and found myself feeling really down.

But it was during those tough times that I discovered the strength to keep going.

What kept me motivated was a combination of unwavering passion, a strong desire to prove myself, and a belief in my abilities.

I didn’t let the negativity and doubt of others define my path.

I held onto the vision of a future where I could be my own boss, where my hard work and dedication would pay off.

During those dark moments, I reminded myself of why I started this journey.

I wanted to break free from the usual way of working.

I wanted the freedom to create my own schedule, pursue my passions, and make a positive impact on the lives of others.

Slowly but surely, my hard work started to pay off.

After two and a half years of persistence and continuous improvement, I began to see the results.

The money started to come in, and I could finally relax a bit.

But more than the money, it was the feeling of accomplishment and fulfilment that made it all worth it.

Tips for Aspiring Bloggers

As I look back, I can’t help but think about the obstacles I overcame and the lessons I learned along the way.

I want to share some of these insights with aspiring bloggers like yourself, to give you hope and guidance as you start your own blogging journey:

Be patient and don’t focus solely on making money

Blogging is not a quick way to get rich. It takes time to build an audience, gain credibility, and make money.

Focus on creating quality content, building a community, and let the money come naturally.

Stay focused and avoid distractions

The blogging world can be overwhelming with so many possibilities and trends.

It’s important to stay focused on your niche and develop your own unique style.

Avoid jumping from one topic to another. Consistency and specializing in one area are important.

Enjoy the journey

Success doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual process of growth and learning.

Embrace each step, each challenge, and each milestone along the way. Celebrate small victories and learn from setbacks.

Never stop learning

The digital world is always changing, and blogging is no exception. Stay curious, keep learning, and improve your skills.

Attend online events, read books, and connect with other bloggers to expand your knowledge.

I want you to know that I’m here for you. If you have any questions or need guidance, please reach out.

I understand the struggles and challenges of starting a blog, and I want to support and inspire you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

I hope it has inspired you and given you the belief that following your dreams is possible.

With warmest regards,

Ajmer Singh
