Today I am writing my 100th blog post. I am really happy to complete this magical milestone which I had always wished for. In this blog post, I want to share my wonderful journey with you all, about how this idea of writing a financial blog post came to my mind and how I started.
The kind of challenges and failures I faced. In short, my journey and experience so far.
I always want to start my own practice while being in a job with a SEBI Registered Investment advisor.
During this time, I observed the need to understand every single detail of an insurance policy, while doing insurance analysis.
I, being the insurance expert ( since I worked in the insurance industry before this) understood every minute details of the policy. But sometimes, this was time consuming for my fellow colleagues.
Moreover, we all wanted to read the details from blog post only as it was easy and fastest way to know the minor details. This was the time when this seed of writing reviews of insurance policy came to my mind.
The only reason to write, was to make financial products and jargons easy and simple to comprehend for a layman.
Even this is the only reason behind starting a YouTube channel also. The only reason was to make finance super simple and easy for the end user.
I, myself, took a long time to understand and comprehend these financial concepts in a crystal clear way. That’s why I wanted to make it simple for others.
This is how the idea to start my own blog seeded to my mind. This is the time I knew nothing about how to write, what to write, how to start a website, what is hosting and God knows.. Many other such things.
Anyhow, I successfully published my website. I wrote 10-15 blog posts and somehow my website crashed. My work vanished in seconds. I couldn’t retrieve my work.
I started again and this time I accepted the challenge and learnt to make websites on my own. I still remember the time I published my website on my own, I was shivering and sweating out of fear. If I could have made a mistake choosing my own self to launch a website.
I successfully published my first blog post on 15th october 2018. Since then I have been writing. Lost the track many times, sometimes due to family responsibilities, my own health and sometimes due to demotivation also.
This is not the only challenge but there are many other challenges too – such as constantly thinking about what to write about, what kind of blog post my readers would like to read, the keywords, how much content to add in a blog post and most challenging is what not to write.
Above all, endless searching of what others are writing for the same topic. ( ha.. Ha.. ha.. Laughing ( on the lighter side)) What I need to add more.
Since as a Financial Planner we have many other details for a product which might be too complicated for a layman. That is why I try to limit my words.
This is how I started this blog post and my journey so far. I am really thankful to my readers for being with me in this wonderful journey and motivating me by reading my blog post. Whatever I did and could achieve is only because of you all. Thank You very much for being with me.
I hope you like reading this journey. Please comment and share your views.
