My journey into SEO and affiliate marketing has been shaped by two powerful forces: Wealthy Affiliate (WA) and LinkedIn. Each has played a unique role in helping me build key skills and push my career forward in ways I never imagined.

Skills I Learned from Wealthy Affiliate

Wealthy Affiliate was where I got my foundational training. Through WA, I learned:

• SEO Basics and Advanced Techniques: From keyword research to on-page optimization, WA’s step-by-step lessons helped me understand how to make my content rank on Google.
• Content Writing and Copywriting: WA taught me how to write compelling, audience-focused content that drives traffic and conversions.
• Affiliate Marketing Strategies: I discovered how to select products I believe in, build trust with my audience, and ethically promote offers.
• Client Work and Freelancing: WA’s community and training gave me confidence in pitching clients, managing projects, and delivering quality work.

Skills I Gained from LinkedIn

LinkedIn took my career to the next level by:

• Networking with Industry Professionals: I connected with marketers, clients, and collaborators who opened doors to real opportunities.
• Showcasing My Expertise: LinkedIn helped me craft a professional profile that highlights my skills and work.
• Learning From Thought Leaders: Following experts on LinkedIn keeps me updated on the latest SEO trends and marketing techniques.
• Building My Personal Brand: Sharing valuable posts and engaging with the community boosted my visibility and credibility.

Why Creating Content for My Target Audience and Networking Matter Most

The biggest game-changer for me was consistently creating content tailored to my target audience—South Asian Gen Z women curious about SEO and affiliate marketing. This focus helped me build trust, grow an engaged community, and attract clients who value my expertise.

At the same time, actively networking on LinkedIn allowed me to expand my reach beyond Wealthy Affiliate, leading to collaborations and freelance gigs that accelerated my career growth.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have seen this kind of spike in my career development without combining the structured learning from Wealthy Affiliate, the professional connections from LinkedIn, and the ongoing habit of creating meaningful content that resonates with my audience.
