I always speak up for LinkedIn. Not because it's trendy. Not because it's another app to scroll through.
But because it gave me something deeper — a voice I was afraid to use, and a space to finally use it strategically.

When I first stepped into the world of online entrepreneurship, I wasn’t sure where to begin. I didn’t have a blueprint. I didn’t come from a traditional business background. And I was scared of being judged for showing up differently — as a South Asian woman with big ideas, not a 9–5 label.

But two platforms changed the game for me:
💻 Wealthy Affiliate gave me the skills — affiliate marketing, SEO, content strategy, long-term planning
📲 LinkedIn gave me the platform — the space to be proactive, visible, and proud of my journey

I launched Boss Beti because I wanted to build something on my own terms — a brand rooted in identity, mental health, and digital strategy for South Asian Gen Z women.
And LinkedIn made me believe I could.

On LinkedIn, I didn’t need to shrink myself.
On LinkedIn, I didn’t need a fancy resume or a perfect portfolio to be taken seriously.
I just had to show up honestly, consistently, and strategically — and that was enough.

Wealthy Affiliate helped me understand the back-end of building a brand, while LinkedIn helped me share that brand with the world. Together, they gave me momentum.

So when people ask me why I advocate for LinkedIn so much — this is why:

➡️ It’s more than networking.
➡️ It’s more than job hunting.
➡️ It’s about owning your voice, even if it trembles.
➡️ It’s about growing with intention, not noise.
➡️ And for me — it was where I learned to stop waiting for permission and start building in public.

If you’re reading this wondering where to start, here’s your sign:
Start on LinkedIn. Learn from Wealthy Affiliate. Grow from both.

This path isn’t just about marketing or content or clicks. It’s about power — the power to choose yourself, build boldly, and speak like you belong in every room you enter. Because you do.
