The journey of a young woman who found her true calling in producing quality content for companies spread across several countries
I am proud to be the Founder of Scriberlee (https://scriberlee.com), but how did I reach here? “Euphoria” is a state of intense happiness and self-confidence. Struggling to find that state was getting difficult for me when I completed my Masters in International Business Management from Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland. I opted for the course which was conducted in Singapore.
As the course finished, I was not able to land up in a job even after applying to numerous job vacancies. I was striving hard to find a job in Singapore as I was in love with the city. Eventually, I had to come back to India. I was disappointed, disturbed, and worried as I criticized myself for not being worthy enough to crack the interview in a Singapore based company. I was heart-broken. Meanwhile, I wrote an article on my journey and experience in Singapore (To read the article click https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/singapore-life-changing-experience-riya-g/ ).
We do not know how and when life surprises us! I posted this article on LinkedIn and after few days I received a call from an Indian company saying they liked my writing style and wanted me to write blogs and articles for them. As I had a separate bunch of love for writing, I immediately accepted the offer. Although the pay was less I was enjoying my work.
After a few months, the company appointed me as an expert writer. This boosted my confidence and I started approaching other companies as a “Freelance Content Writer”. I was successful in acquiring domestic as well as international clients after going through rejections by a few companies. Today, I’m overwhelmed to have clients from Singapore, Canada, UK, and India. I love my work and I can confidently say, “Never lose hope as you don’t know what opportunities you may get by your actions.” I define happy life as, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, it is the ability to deal with them.”
At the start of 2020, a famous bank of Africa approached me to be the guest speaker for their talk show. I accepted the offer and discovered that I can be a good public speaker too! This talk show created a platform for me as a “Motivational Public Speaker” and I happily participated as a guest speaker in various talk shows for global companies.
One day while going through my client’s list, I realized that I have earned a good number of global clients and used the opportunity to start my firm “Scriberlee.” As content is like salt for every company, services like graphic designing, mobile application development, and software development are also equally necessary. Being the Founder of Scriberlee, I had the vision to spread my knowledge and help companies for branding and marketing by providing these services.
