Copywriting.org Interviews Devesh Vyas

It was way back during covid hit us all really hard, I was a freshman pursuing his bachelors in software engineering. Everything was locked down. No one could go out, schools, universities all were shut. And like an obedient student, I started dwelling more into software engineering, started taking part in coding contests, learning more about coding, but soon I lost interest in it, ‘cause it wasn’t something I was really passionate about. I was just in the tech field ‘cause of family and the mindset that only doctors and engineers can make a great living. After losing interest in software engineering, I had nothing to do, so started reading some books and read Rich Dad and Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and that book really changed my hard-wired mindset. And that’s when I started looking for some ways to start business, first stumbled across affiliate marketing. Gave it a shot, but soon found out it’s not something of my inner calling. Again, I started looking for more ways to start a business, but the only thing that I learned from pursuing affiliate marketing was to build a network. So, I tapped into my network, talked to some of my friends and that’s when one of my good friends advised me to give copywriting a shot. That’s how I discovered copywriting. This entire story can be summarized in a sentence—how an engineer with a hard-wired mindset found his inner calling.
