Jigyasa started writing poems and quotes at an early age of 12. Later, after years, when she stepped into freelancing, she had no clue how to turn her writing skills into anything profitable.
Back in 2022, she joined my content writing mentorship for three months. There, I realized her writing potential. Her three months of mentorship proved to be useful for her. She started getting good clients at 0.5₹ per word and above. That was a good start for her.
But, was that enough?
Nope. Of course!
Her writing skill could do more magic to her life.
Also, freelancing was getting tough for her to maintain her routine and health, and meet deadlines. On my suggestion, she started taking my passive income seriously. I believed that her writing skills could take her to much heights.
She loved the idea. And here she is.
She started “Healwithjigyasa.com” – a blog on self-help niche.
In this article, I am going to interview Jigyasa to know how she visioned her blog, and how my mentorship helped her in learning and growing her blog.
Q1. Why did you choose a self-help niche for your blogging?
I was always an emotional kid. When I was 13, I started writing poems to express my emotional self. In fact, I got published several times as a co-author. But that wasn’t enough.
“Healing” has been a big part of my life as a teenager. I’ve healed myself from long-term anxiety and insomnia that lasted four years. And so, “healing” is an important word to me.
And, not only me, the ultimate goal became to heal others too. That’s why, self-help niche was my first choice.
Note: If you are struggling to pick your niche, ask these 10 questions.
Q2. How would you compare your blogging skill (or other skills) before and after the mentorship?
I think content is a major part of blogging. If you can’t write good content, just learn the damn thing. Without it, blogging is a brick wall.
Before the mentorship, I knew how to write content. I just didn’t know how to write “good” content that’s SEO-optimized, engaging, and professional enough.
Satya’s mentorship helped me learn all of that. He’s one of the reasons why my writing is good enough today to make me a living.
So, before the mentorship, I’d say that it was 3/10. After the mentorship, it’s 8/10. I cut the ‘two marks’ because blogging also needs experience, which I’m still gaining.
Q3. At this age when others are just schooling, you are earning for yourself and your family. How do you see blogging or writing skills to be so capable?
As I said before, I started writing at 13. I always loved writing, and when you love to do something and you become good at it, your skill turns into your power.
At first, I wrote to learn and gain experience from others. The intention wasn’t to earn a high amount of money. For me, writing is what gives me many options to explore while some doors may be closed.
If someone wants to try blogging, give it a chance because you like it, not because someone said you should. You can take a suggestion from Satya — he knows the best of who’s capable of blogging.

Q4. How difficult or easy blogging is in 2024?
I recently got a project that made me read a lot of blogging success stories, and that’s where this answer is coming from.
Blogging isn’t that easy in 2024.
Here’s why: Google’s Helpful Content Update (HCU) affected even the seasoned bloggers who have been doing it for years. They say it. And, the main reason was content quality.
Of course, other factors such as backlinks matter into ranking. But Google’s latest update states that it will prioritize reader-focused content rather than low-quality content.
Creating high-quality content ain’t easy and thus, blogging is no piece of cake too. A good blogging mindset is another unavoidable requirement.
Q5. What would you suggest to those newbies who are planning to start their blog in self-help or lifestyle niche?
“If you’re writing about something, you should be living it too.“
People can sense unauthentic content from a mile away. So, if you want to write about something, ensure that you aren’t doing the opposite of what you write.
Additionally, you can include your life’s examples and your own methods of coping with an emotion. It doesn’t have to be something scientifically proven. Just add the piece.
Lastly, it’s good to have a few freelance writers to write articles. But remember to always double-check the articles and edit them to add your personal touch. That’s what I’d say.
Q6. What is your plan with healwithjigyasa.com? Where do you see it in 1 year?
I really love my website’s UI/UX, as it matches lil bit with Medium- my freestyle writing platform that I admire a lot. And, Satya helped me to get this look for my website.
I don’t have any plans with the website for now. As of now, I have been working on some personal projects. So, I ain’t actively publishing any articles.
However, I see the site doing well after a year. I have a vision for it, and I am waiting for the right time to speed it up. I will start publishing soon, and may even add some free guides and printable.
Q7. What are your thoughts on your 1millionblogs blogging mentorship program? How effective your mentor (Satya Prakash) is in mentoring?
Satya is a rare kind of mentor — the one who’ll guide you while being your truest friend. I remember making mistakes during the mentorship, and he corrected me in the best way.
Additionally, he has crafted the whole outline for his blogging mentorship program in a way that the program covers all the basic things within 10 sessions (you can start with session #1 HERE). Although he says that each session lasts 60 minutes, the timespan is actually pretty longer than that, depending on the session’s objective.
I took his content writing mentorship as well. He is one of the best people I’ve met in the industry in the past two years.
Q8. One suggestion you would like to give to Satya Prakash Mourya?
Although he know his plans better than me but I have this small suggestion that taking group classes (sessions) with 5-10 students could help him scale his mentorship business quite faster and better.
And, I could notice that he has build a good number of useful resources now like blogs, PDFs, sessions outline, videos, etc. However when I was taking his mentorship, these resources were missing. So lucky – new students.
I hope he continue working on building these useful resources as there are still a lot more to do.
That was all from Jigyasa.
