I am the founder of Tractionn, an education and training company where I run my flagship training program called the SEO Career Kickstarter (SCK) program (previously known as HIIT SEO).
I started this program in March 2020, & so far 1000+ people have finished the program successfully & landed high paying SEO jobs.
But why did I start it?
Because SEO changed my life. And I truly believe that it can change yours too.
This is why I am on a mission to help 100,000 people kickstart a fulfilling & successful SEO career.
SEO gave me a fulfilling career, a livelihood & very importantly, an identity.
Here’s how:
I started way back in 2009 when I was just 19 years old - broke, dejected but hungry for success.
I came across the term SEO on some freelancing platforms and there were a lot of projects paying top dollar for SEO services.
Without even knowing what SEO was, I started bidding on these projects.
Obviously, I did not win a single project and eventually had a great idea:
"What if I post a project looking for SEO services to see what kind of proposals these professionals are sending and imitate them?"
That's exactly what I did and started receiving proposals from many top-notch SEO freelancers and agencies.
I went through all the proposals, took the best parts from each of them, and made a fantastic proposal of my own to bid on projects.
Believe it or not, I won the first project that I bid on and made my first ever $400 on the internet!
And that’s how my journey into SEO started.
Realising the potential for growth in this industry, I set up an agency that was operational in Bangalore and Singapore. I ran this for about 4 years before better sense prevailed.
I quickly realised not only do I have a lot to learn about SEO, but also about running a business.
So, I started hunting for startups to work for and chanced upon a startup called Thrillophilia. This is where I truly experienced the power of SEO and content at scale.
When I joined, they were getting about 500K visitors and by the time I left the company, we were hitting 1.3 million visitors per month!
Eventually, I joined Explara, where my team and I set implemented SEO to get 1,00,000 visitors per month in just 6 months!
Later, I went on to help brands like Mercedes Benz India, Nikon Lenswear, Yourstory, Scripbox, HDFC, and many more companies to harness the power of SEO.
