Successful Freelancers In India

• Ankit Singla:
Ankit Singla is a successful blogger and entrepreneur who started his journey as a freelancer. Initially, Ankit faced a challenge with writing fluently in English while creating blogs. However, he was determined to overcome this obstacle and spent 2-3 years learning content writing, SEO, and WordPress. He tried various types of blogs before finally finding success with his blogging business. Ankit's family supported his decision to pursue blogging full-time instead of joining a corporate job.

Ankit is the founder of the blog Master Blogging, where he teaches the art of blogging to newbies. He believes that new bloggers should spend time studying their market and defining their target audience before finalizing their niche. He advises bloggers to focus on writing high-quality articles rather than publishing content every day. Ankit stresses the importance of continuous learning to scale a blog and recommends spending a collective 30 hours a month on writing two high-quality articles.

Ankit's hard work and dedication have paid off, and he now earns more than a project manager at an IT company. His success story serves as an inspiration to aspiring bloggers and freelancers.

According to an interview with Failure Before Success, Munjal started freelancing during his college days, creating educational content for students and teachers.
