My First Startup

skidzopedia.com

I was introduced to blogging by a friend in early 2008. After testing my skills on blogger.com and facing severe resistance by my Father, who thought all this was a scam and waste of time, I finally managed to setup my first technology blog, called skidzopedia.com; on August 05, 2008 with the help of my uncle. This later proved to be a great source of income and helped me learn alot in the process.

Learnt Seach Engine Optimization (SEO) Techniques

started to understad how SE works

With the passage of time and over 2 years of experience on the Internet, I started to dig deep into the realm of SEO and how search engines worked and how to effectively rank my sites on Page 1 of Google.

By the end of the year, not only I managed to setup up several more web propeties successfully, but I ranked them well which helped attract more visitors to my sites, resulting in even higher revenue stream!

I was in my final year, when I launched my first membership site called bleepli.com. I designed and developed all the themes myself for wordpress platform and learnt a great deal in the process. However, this site didn't not proved to be much of a success.

Later that year, I setup another membership site named CTR-Themes.com. The idea behind the design was to help webmaster earn more money with Adsense by placing ads on key positions on websites/blogs, resulting in increased click-through-rate, without having them go into the code. It was a CHALLENGE for me to design a user friendly interface, but I accepted it!

I received a great response from this site because I applied all the techniques I had learnt uptil now and also managed to gather a large affiliate base to promote my product. Not only this helped me recover from the loss I had to face due to Google's updates, but I no longer was dependent on Google due to the large affiliate base actively promoting my product.

Ali Javed

Worked with me

Fabruary - July

As my income grew, so did my confidence! I was now at a comfortable position to spend from what I had earned uptil now. I hired several talented people, mostly content writers who could write good, quality content for my sites. My first content writer was Ali Javed, followed by Ateeb-ur-Rehman and several others.

Not only was this a great learning experience for me, but I also made good friends as well :)

I Graduated...!

as a Software Engineer

The year 2012 holds a lot of importance in my life. Despite all the set backs I had to face because of Google. I was happy that I finally completed my degree in Software Engineering (BSCS). Moreover, I now had the time to invest in my business. I had no plans to work in a Software House and decided to continue with what I was doing i.e. Internet Marketing.
