Hi,

In my pursuit to finding happiness and living a good life, I share everything I’ve learnt on this blog – from spirituality to health, tech to food, finance to life skills and everything in between.

Every day is a new learning, a new lesson. If we all shared our experiences, how amazing would it be? The more you share, higher the possibilities!

And that’s the reason I blog. In the hope that it offers you something useful and make a difference in your life. At least, try.

About 250,000 people visit it every month and I’m glad to have made them my friends today.

If you liked what you read, please let me know on Facebook or shoot me an email. That would make my day!

Thanks for dropping by. Hope you learned something new.

– Mani Karthik.

From corporate Silicon Valley to Entrepreneurship

For over a decade, I’ve worked in the US, Middle East and India, helping small and big startups sell online and grow.

I’ve worked with some of the big and exciting brands you can think of. Cars, Software, Hotels, FinTech startups and the like.

Although I enjoyed helping others, I always wanted to work for myself on things that I cared about. Things that mattered to me.

Blogging was my way of getting out from the boring, cubicle, corporate life.

I always wanted to be my own boss, travel the world, work whenever I wanted to and live life on my own terms.

I’ve been blogging from 2005, ever since I was in India.

Today, I work at my own pace, at my own space.

This blog is read by more than 300,000 people every month and generates over seven figures in dollars as income.

Back in those days, I use to write about random things, like movies I watched and restaurants I ate at.

Somehow, people started finding out and it started getting comments and feedback from all over the world.

That motivated me and I started writing about everything from personal finance, travel, investment, education, NRI matters, tech and more. Things that interested me and others found useful.

I recommend blogging to anyone who has interesting things to talk about. It’s easy getting started with blogging these days. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can make money blogging in India, check out this article and sign up.

How Much Do You Earn From Blogging?

Ok, this might sound borderline bragging, but in the interest of transparency, below is my monthly performance chart, directly from my income report.

I always advice young bloggers who are starting out not to keep unrealistic expectations. When I started out ten years back, I thought most bloggers who were boasting of five figure income were lying. Boy, wasn’t I wrong?

Earning an income from blogging takes a lot of time, hard work and luck. Like they say, ten years of toiling can make you an overnight success. But starting small, and pacing right, using the right tools, one can always make it big. I am a good example lol.
