5 years. 125 posts. 1.08 million views.
But beyond the numbers, it’s the habit that changed me.
When I began writing on LinkedIn and zankhitdesai.com, I was looking for clarity. What I found was direction.
✨ From untangling my thoughts
✍🏽 To showing up every single week for the past year
💡 To discovering meaning through expression
📈 Even hitting 765K+ views on one post
It’s been one of the most fulfilling habits I’ve built.
On 15th July 2020, in my first post, I made a promise https://zankhitdesai.com/index.php/2020/07/16/the-power-of-networking/ :
“Reach 5,000 connections by 2025. And if I can impact 10 of them. That’s success.”
Today, I’m grateful to have ~7,000 connections, and impacted 20+ lives, directly or indirectly.
Also I’ve stopped using images in most posts.
Because I believe: the content should speak louder than the picture.
The real win? The quiet DMs, thoughtful replies, and someone saying,
“This helped me.”
Consistency beats Virality anyday.
Writing didn’t just grow my reach. It grew me.
