Challenges Faced For A Job
Shivam is a resident of Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. After his father’s job transfer, he shifted to Delhi. Being the single child of his parents, he had more responsibilities and he had to face a lot of struggle right from the beginning.
He has always been an average student but his communication skills were amazing. That’s why he got placed after completing his MBA.
Shivam went 150 kilometres away from Delhi to work at Apple India. But after some time, his father’s health deteriorated, and he had to take a break from his job.
Now, after one and a half years, the struggle for Shivam has started increasing rapidly. Till this time, he had no idea that he would have to face such a shock.
After this, he got a job in the Decathlon for folding clothes. He also felt bored while doing this work but he used to work.
Journey from Paan Stall to Content Creator
Opening a new business and trying something new is a very pleasant experience for every person. Shivam also had a similar experience when he opened a paan stall along with his friend.
This cart was placed outside the Decathlon and gradually the stall started running very well. After this, he also started getting orders from party events.
Everything was going very well but Shivam was not able to handle his job and business simultaneously. Due to this, he had to close the paan stall.
After this, he got a job at a bank where he was getting Rs 15,000 as a salary. This amount was even less than what he used to earn while working at Decathlon, and so he was in a state of distress.
Shivam’s life changed suddenly when he was going to meet his girlfriend one day. At that time, many mobile apps had come up through which people used to make lip-sync videos.
He also tried making some short videos. At the same time, Shivam made an educational video with questions on TikTok in his voice. That video went viral overnight followed by a few more videos that were somewhat educational.
With those videos getting traction, Shivam came to know that people liked his educational videos a lot. Then, he started to make more videos and as he began to grow, TikTok got banned after some time.
Shivam then started to post videos on Instagram and YouTube and gradually he started getting some views on his videos and soon he had a million followers. Today, his informative short videos are watched by millions of people and he is living a dream life while earning money online.
