How one Facebook message changed my life 🚀
After 5 years in the University, my journey has finally come to an end. 🎓
Looking back, I can’t help but be grateful to one man who unknowingly changed the course of my life, KAA.
On the 22nd of February, 2023, while I was still in 200 level, KAA made a post on Facebook and asked me to message him. That message turned into a job.
To him, it was just a job. To me, it was a lifeline.
I had first developed interest in blogging back in 2020 when I created my first Blogspot site (onunwaelvis.blogspot. com). But with little knowledge and almost no resources, I abandoned it.
Working with KAA was the real turning point. I didn’t just learn WordPress/Blogging, I lived inside it.
Every button I clicked, every plugin I tested, every theme I broke and fixed taught me something new. Having admin access forced me to get my hands dirty, and in the process I began to really understand how websites work. (I wasn't testing on a live site please)
That curiosity made me invest in courses, build my first blog almost a year ago, and keep pushing myself to learn more every day.
Along the way, I even ventured into prompt engineering to improve my output. Now, I can confidently use AI to generate content that beats AI detectors and reads 100% human. (Proof: In Comment).
I also followed and learned from top bloggers like Sirbright Godwin , PGO , Sir Fidelis Ozuawala , Sir Emmanuel, Remedy Nwankwo and many others. Every tip they dropped, I saved, patiently waiting for the day I would finally get to put them into practice. Even the ones KAA shared before he created his page, I still have them till today. I'm grateful to you all.
While most of their content was centered around arbitrage blogging, I focused on SEO. I realized that creating content was just the smallest part of the job, so I threw myself into keyword research, on-page SEO, competitor analysis, and optimization.
And the results started showing. One of my proudest moments was when a site I optimized hit 2.3k impressions in just 28 days without a single backlink.
All these happened because of one opportunity from KAA.
Today, I can boldly say I’ve gained skills in:
✅ WordPress design & site setup
✅ Google Analytics, Cloudflare & Search Console setups
✅ Keyword research & optimization
✅ On-Page SEO
✅ Prompt engineering
KAA, thank you for giving me that chance. 🙏 I’ll forever be grateful.
Now, as I step into this next phase, I’m open to roles in building and managing websites/blogs, helping businesses grow their online presence with the skills I’ve gained.
