My LinkedIn involvement heartily supported me in my 2018 unpleasant time.

You should understand that engagement is the best way to extend your network.


Once you participate in that involvement, you won't believe how it can familiarize you the ways to reach out intellectual people.


At the beginning of 2018, my complete focus of engagement was just to motivate myself to not give up on my goals. 

That was the period of the year when I was facing the most terrible time in my workplace and was wishing to resign but financial problems did not allow me to do that. I had to compromise on many things but never wanted to do on my aims. 



My LinkedIn involvement heartily supported me in that unpleasant time. I do remember how some credible people's content motivated me to never give up on my aims as well as to make me able to start posting content.

Now at the end of 2018, I have published 5 articles and plenty of posts, and that is a proof of my grow just because of these intellectual people.

Overall my LinkedIn 2018 journey was outstanding. 

  • Wonderful lessons have been learned from wonderful people. 
  • Motivation over motivation.
  • Became content writer from being a content reader. (Credit goes to @Dr. Natalia)
  • The bravery of posting my ideas, thoughts, and experiences.
  • Leaving my comfort zone with starting LinkedIn videos. (Credit goes to @String Nguyen and @Darren Griffith


Let me tell you honestly, the first 11 months of 2018 were undoubtedly excellent but the last one, the December was outstanding. I connected with some amazing people and get their engagement back as well.

I would mention them here just to show my gratitude and with a hope that people like me can reach them out as well.

Brother, I memorized how you pushed me to make an introduction video even were not connected and communicated.


@ Natasha Margaritis

Dear, do you remember your comments to appreciate me on my first LinkedIn video? You have no idea how it makes me feel special.


@ Bruno Aregger

Sir, I went through your video conversation with the Amazing Dr. Natalia, it was so simple but meaningful conversation. Your English accent and communication style inspired me and could not prevent myself to join your network.


@ Laila Ali
