About Araix

Back in 2014, when I left my day job thinking I would find something to do online. At that time, I had an active YouTube channel and a few Blogger blogs. My videos on YouTube were not creative and blog posts on Blogger were copied from other blogs that I liked. Some videos I captured using my phone were about random subjects like someone fishing, religious place tours, etc.

I knew that I could make money online via my YouTube channel and blogger, so I signed up for an AdSense account. During the same time, I had left my job and was searching for opportunities to make money online. I was making a small amount of money from YouTube, and I did get payment from YouTube after 4 months of AdSense.

When I started searching for ways to make money online, I was looking for a quick and easy way. I didn't have any skill that I could have used to do something valuable apart from uploading videos to YouTube and copy-pasting. I think many people fall into the same trap when they start their journey to make money online. They look for an easy way.

After trying many ways to start making money online, I did get to teach myself some skills. Also, one thing that stopped me from my success was that I didn't have money to invest in my business. Moreover, I was afraid, and it was impossible to ask my Indian parents to give me some money for my business investment.

Forget about my parents giving me money for the business investment; they were asking me for money because they thought I was working, so I must be making money. It was a hard day for me. I was spending all of my time learning and doing anything that could give me hope.

After trying to make money online via blogging, affiliate marketing, social media, etc. for 1 year, I started freelancing. Since then, I started making enough money to pay my bills and save a few bucks to invest. I still kept affiliate marketing sites and a few other blogs as a side hustle that I had deleted and recycled a few times.

As of 2022, it has been 7 years as a freelancer. My future goal is to become a published author. I have a few novel ideas that I have written only a summary for, so I can remember the idea. My focus in the upcoming years is to complete my novel. I wish to find motivation and time for my writing.

I have started a publishing company called "Bookllo Publishing" that offers services to authors with self-publishing and book marketing. Working with other authors as a freelancer is inspiring for me.
