MY BACKSTORY
My journey as an SEO writer with experience in AI content writing and On-Page SEO started in 2019 when I was studying computer engineering in college. I made friends, had terrible grades, and was uncertain about the future because deep down, I knew I was just existing instead of living.
I grew up in a society where the only thing people talked about was making money instead of making a living. Came from a modest family and the only thing I remembered as a child was my dad telling me and my siblings to go to school, get a government job, and after 30+ years, retire and live on a pension.
In Nigeria, having a government job is the dream of most graduates because there is security, the pay is good, and if you get lucky to be in a high office you will have access to more money to embezzle. So all through the years, I grew up with the mentality of everyone else — The mentality of getting a good job, giving your all to it, and retiring.
MY STRUGGLES
During the COVID era in 2020, things became hard for me because it seemed nothing was working. I had no plans or purpose for my life, I was barely surviving with my siblings, and I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I felt like a failure because I had nothing to boast of. Even though my parents were still supporting me, I felt terrible because this wasn’t where I pictured myself years back, and being the first son (have 2 sisters and a brother) with nothing made me angry and depressed with myself.
I became rebellious towards everyone. I hated my family and started mixing with the wrong crowd. You see society tells you “A man without money is a nobody” and that made me do whatever it takes to be somebody. I ventured into drugs, scamming people online, and did so many illegal things just to belong. This went on for months and in my mind, I didn’t realize the pain I caused my family and people around me because I felt they would understand when I finally made it.
MY BREAKTHROUGH
My first ray of hope came in 2021 when my elder sister (Abigail) bought me my first laptop and encouraged me to learn a digital skill. I followed her advice and decided to learn web design after all programmers were the hottest cake online according to Google and my elder sister who was already a freelancer making good money from it.
After about 2months of learning programming, I became overwhelmed with it and realized it wasn’t for me. As they say “When the student is willing, the teacher will show” — I stumbled on Simplilearn on YouTube and found there was something called Digital marketing. Before that time, I knew how good and convincing I was in getting people to buy whatever I said but I never knew you could do it online. So I was curious about it and that began my journey to become a digital marketer.
MY PASSION
10,000 hours later, I can proudly say this is what I love to do. To me, digital marketing isn’t just about marketing, it is the process leading to it that intrigues me. I love reading people, knowing how people behave, how they think, what they want, and how you can help them. SEO, Content marketing, Email Marketing, and other parts of digital marketing are part of that process.
With the help of YouTube, I have learned a lot from top-rated guys like Sam Oh from Ahrefs, Ferdy Korpershoek, Rob Sanders from Simplilearn, and Neil Patel courses. I have also taken digital marketing courses from SEMrush, Coursera, and Udemy. With the emergence of AI in digital marketing, I have spent time learning about using AI tools like Surferseo, Drafthhorse AI, Chat GPT, and Bard AI to increase my knowledge in digital marketing.
I am passionate about Jesus and being the best in digital marketing. These are the two things I do for hours and lose track of time. I follow top-rated guys like Neil Patel, Alex Catoni, Gary Vaynerchuk, and Tim Ferris on social media and spend 2hrs daily reading what they post and learning from them. I am also passionate about traveling, seeing new places, and learning about new cultures, I love classic cars and anime.
MY DREAM
Over the years, I have worked for the good, the bad, and the ugly. All through the months, I have worked for various brands and individuals. Been a freelancer on Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer. Done Facebook advertising for Hedgren bags, written content on Upwork for Matthew Hulland and other clients, worked for the YAIOA blog as a writer, and SEO manager for Writinngail, and wrote articles on Medium. I have also done jobs for LinkedIn clients.
My dream is to be an entrepreneur, leave a legacy for my kids, and make the world a better place. I want to live, be different, and not exist just like everyone else. Recently started my own company called TellUs Marketing and it has been a bumpy ride. Starting to understand why people choose to work for someone instead of building their businesses.
When things get too difficult for me, I read my bible and the auto-biographies of people who have done the impossible and left a long-lasting legacy. Men like Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Sam Walton, and Steve Jobs.
