True and potential marketers have a different view of everything around us. They try to find a strong marketing opportunity every time a normal person fails to notice it. But, don’t worry as marketers or bloggers aren’t born with this talent. The biggest example for us is Kulwant Nagi, a successful affiliate marketing expert, and famous inspirational blogger. Kulwant Nagi’s hardworking and motivational life story teaches everyone how to survive in the darkest of time and not give up on yourself.
Who is he?
Today, Kulwant Nagi is the founder of Blogging Cage and the Managing Director of AffloSpark. Throughout all these years after passing engineering in 2010, he has mastered the art of digital marketing and every other aspect of it. A couple of years earlier, he’s daily income summed up to around $500$800. Kulwant believed that living in this era of digitalization you either benefit from it or become its prey.
Kulwant was born in a town called Fatehabad located in Haryana. He didn’t belong to a financially affluent family. But, his dream to go and study abroad made him work hard. After he received his engineering degree from the Institute of Technology and Management, he wanted to appear for GRE and TOEFL. The tuition for his preparation and exam fees didn’t come easily to his family. But, Kulwant got results of his hard work when he scored 1300/1600 in GRE and 99/120 in TOEFL.
But, his dream to go and study abroad shattered into million pieces when he was supposed to show at least a bank balance of Rs. 22 lakhs to receive a U.S. visa. His father didn’t have ample money so he turned to his relatives for help. But, life taught him lessons the harsh way when he realized he was on his own. Kulwant had withdrawn the applications from foreign universities.
How Kulwant entered into the blogging world?
He gave up after trying for another year and failing to arrange sufficient money. Kulwant started working for a company but resigned out of frustration within a year. It is then one of his friends; Ravinder Kumar pushed him to try out blogging and digital marketing. He tried writing an article in his friend’s blog and it received more than 200 comments within a day. This made him realize that he can start his blog and start making money.
Kulwant eventually got deeper into it and turned the course of his life. In 2011, he launched his first blog, KulwantNagi.com, and next year he created BloggingCage.com and invested his time in affiliate marketing. But, this was just the beginning of the 18months struggle.
Survival and motivation
Kulwant earned his first dollar after seven long months whereas most people give up after three or four months when they can’t make money. Earning a little money after seven long months made his passion stronger. He said that, for the first eighteen months of his blogging, he used 2G internet. It is nearly impossible for us to have patience and work with 2G internet. But, he proved that if one has a strong vision nothing is impossible.
He started using Fiverr and made enough money to keep himself motivated. He sold his first blog for $30 only to meet his costs extremely needed for survival. But, eventually, his monthly income started increasing and now he is a successful affiliate marketer earning millions. In 2017, he earned around $9000 just in four days doing email marketing.
Kulwant’s secret mantra of keeping himself motivated is reading tons of inspirational books. He prefers reading biographies of people who have become successful in the entrepreneurial world.

Kulwant’s advice to people
According to Kulwant, blogging, or in simpler words content writing is on high demand these days. But, the problem with our generation is we are overloaded by information. We cannot set a fixed goal as we keep switching from one opportunity to another. Kulwant says that if we find an interest we should do research and start working on it. Sitting and watching other people achieving success won’t get us to that place automatically. He also says that, once we start working we should work diligently for the first six months without expecting any fruitful outcome. One just needs to find a niche and keep working for it.
