When I started Abhirah, I thought I would only publish blog posts.
I didn’t try to learn SEO.
I didn’t understand how social media promotion works.
Even when I created the Instagram page, I didn’t tell my friends about it for a long time. I used to hesitate.
The reach has never been very high.
Sometimes I feel the content is strong.
Sometimes I feel it lacks depth.
I have faced many rejections.
The number of published conversations on Abhirah is almost half the number of people who said no.
Rejection affects me.
Sometimes I feel discouraged.
Sometimes I stop posting for days.
I focused on social media very late, and that has cost me growth.
I once planned to convert all the conversations into a book.
That project is still incomplete.
This is not a free platform.
It costs ₹15,000 every year to maintain.
Income generated so far: zero.
Time invested.
Money invested.
Energy invested.
Visible results: minimal.
There have been unfinished projects.
Periods of laziness.
Moments where I wanted to give up.
But I am still continuing.
Maybe the numbers are small.
Maybe the growth is slow.
Maybe the returns are zero.
But the effort is real.
This is the failure side of Abhirah.
And this is where the story truly begins.
