How to make Pakistan better.
How to make Pakistan better.
This is year 2020. In Pakistan, Internet is accessible in most homes. Islamabad has a dedicated Fiber network laid by #Nayatel. PTCL is offering a minimum of 8 Mbps bundle in almost all cities. It has reached to farthest areas of Pakistan, including war torn places like Miranshah, Razmak and Dir. A nominal connection fee of Rs 2800 per month, brings with it numerous possibilities. Today, if you are wasting your time watching Netflix, you really are missing out on hundreds of dollars. 2020 is the year to make your dreams come true. Be with me, I will narrate with you some tips to bring colors to your life.
Write blogs
Blog writing is the most attractive marketing platform to show your presence. This website is only working because of these blogs. You should write blogs if you want to see your business excelling.
Follow these steps to start blogging.
1. Go to Medium.com and make your account with a good quality DSLR photo.
2. Go to twitter.com and make another account with the same picture you used for your above Medium.com account.
3. Write about your favourite feature in Pakistan on Medium. You can also write about women suffering in your area. May be importance of education for children and women.
Find a good niche that attracts you as a hobby and put it into words. Wrong structure of sentences, bad grammer and boring subjects should not stop you from writing. These are beginner fears.
4. Write a #resulution post on twitter like this one. For example write:-
”Next 365 days, I will write every week twice about my favorite niche, subjects or topics and share it on medium. Follow me on my medium profile to stay tuned.”
Attach link to your medium profile below the post.
5. Take a screen shot of the post with your own picture and share it on whatsapp, facebook and instagram statuses. All places where you are more vulnerable to negative remarks if you fail. This will bind you to your commitment.
6. Share the post you wrote on Medium.com with all these people.
Do not ask for feedback. Do not listen to remarks. Do not open your eyes to criticism. Go blind on people’s response.
7. Most importantly, share all these posts on twitter with a hashtag of #digitalpakistan. Twitter is an excellent platform to reach out to people of huge value. Real celebrities will start taking notice of your writings and you will find multiple doors opening to you. I have met @Fajar from Singapore. He has huge following and he is helping me run my personal platforms.
This is it. For now, I will suggest you only commit to these 7 points and start writing. After 1 month of staying committed to this resolution, contact me to discuss your progress. I will be so happy to help you further your resolution.
If you do not want to write blogs?
You should do following:-
1. Go to your favourite platform that matches your interest and join a community.
2 - 7. Do all remaining things that I have laid out for writing blog posts.
Contact me if you need help.
Important point
Good blogs, drawings, films, vlogs and podcasts do not come true the first day. No body in the world is more talented than you. Your own idea, mind and thoughts are totally unique. Your thoughts stand out in the crowd. Your business, with good values and honest principles will attract people towards it.
Writing good blogs is not a time taking activity. It is only 30 to 40 minutes of daily work. Find a time in the day where you get no disturbance from others, your own personal time. Write about your favorite niche and share it with people. Your friends need it more then you yourself need it.
Make use of Pakistan
Pakistan is an amazing country. I recently went to Hunza and Khunjarab. I found beautiful camping locations for nomading. Sweet tooth cafe beside attabad lake, like the one below, is an ideal cafe for you to bring life to your art. You sit on your laptop, have the view of pulse wrecking waters meeting the mountains right in front of you. The beauty of these places will bring life to your work.
Sweet Tooth Cafe - Attabad Lake
In Hunza, I found another place by the name of ‘Urban Escape’. It is being run by a University Student in Islamabad. He invites people from Southern Pakistan to spend a week or two with him. You can go to him in a nominal cost, stay with him for two weeks and write about your experiences in your blog.
Your business will only work if it is a reflection of your personal priorities and values. As you start gaining momentum you will be able to live independently. No more hands tied to boring jobs and timeless hours of sitting in cubicles. As soon as your business starts working, attract people towards it and build a community. Ultimately, you will be able to bring value to Pakistan and make it better.
