We don’t get inspired by billionaires.

We get inspired by people who started where we are.

We often talk about inspiration and most of the time the examples are people like Mark Zuckerberg and big global names.

➡️ Yes, their stories are real.
➡️ Yes, they are impressive.
➡️ But for many of us, they are very far from our background.

👉 Real inspiration often comes from people who are like us.
👉 Same starting point.
👉 Same struggles.
👉 Same limitations.

Creators who start small, stay consistent, and build something meaningful step by step inspire me far more.

That is why I truly admire creators who document their journey honestly.

🪶 For example, I recently came across an Instagram page where a girl set herself a simple mission.

👉 Read 50 books.
👉 She did not stop there.
👉 She took the lessons from those 50 books, added her own understanding, and created her own book.

Now she is sharing value through content and selling a product built on learning, discipline, and consistency.

This is the kind of inspiration that feels real.

This is the kind of effort that deserves appreciation and support.

If someone from our background is trying, learning, building, and showing up every day, support them.

➡️ Follow them.
➡️ Share their work.
➡️ Encourage them.

Because today’s small creator can be tomorrow’s big story.

While pursuing my BBA in Human Resources, I developed a passion for digital marketing and actively worked to expand my knowledge. I learned key skills and completed internships to gain practical, hands-on experience. I was eager to explore new marketing strategies and understand how they impact businesses. From my second year, I turned my passion into action and started working to build my career.

Every role is replaceable. Even yours.

2025 taught me a lesson I will not forget.

➡️ No matter how skilled you are.
➡️ No matter how specialised your role feels.
➡️ Every position is replaceable.

I have seen technical experts replaced in days.
Managers replaced in weeks.
Even key leaders replaced in a few months.

Companies do not do this out of cruelty.
They do it because business runs on value, not emotions.

But sometimes we give our everything to companies.

Living with this mindset every day can drain you.
You start tying your self worth to work.

👉 You push harder.
👉 You stay longer.
👉 You forget yourself.

That is where balance matters.

✅ Work hard.
✅ Be professional.
✅ Build skills.

👉 But also set boundaries.
👉 Protect your health.
👉 Protect your time.
👉 Protect the people and things that truly matter.

A job is important.
Your life is more important.

Do not lose yourself trying to prove your value.
and eat healthy guys.

ChatGPT is 2+ years old… yet most people use only 10% of its power

I’ve been seeing people working with ChatGPT for years now.

ChatGPT has been here for a while, but many people are still making the same basic mistakes.

Some common ones I see every day 👇

➡️ Asking very unclear questions
➡️ Expecting perfect answers without giving proper context
➡️ Copy pasting AI output without editing
➡️ Not using AI to improve thinking, only to save time
➡️ Using AI once and then stopping instead of learning daily

✅ AI is fast. Really fast.
✅ But only if you know how to use it properly.

👉 The goal is not just to use AI.
👉 The goal is to improve with AI.

Learn it. 
Practice it. 
Get better with it every day. 🚀

Those who grow with AI will always stay ahead.

Happy to share my latest website project 

👉 https://lnkd.in/gv339pti

A clean, easy-to-use website designed to make bookings simple and give visitors a great experience.

The client is really happy with the result and that’s what matters most 😊

January 2026 is becoming a turning point for AI and tech.

Here are a few major headlines from January 2026:

➡️ Nvidia pushes AI to the next level
At CES 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced the new Vera Rubin chip platform. It delivers around five times more computing power than earlier models.

They also introduced Alpamayo, a new AI model family focused on reasoning for autonomous driving. This could be a big shift for self driving technology.


➡️ Samsung sees massive profit growth
Samsung is expected to report a 160 percent jump in operating profit for Q4 2025.

The main reason is the global shortage of AI focused memory chips. Demand for AI hardware keeps growing fast.


➡️ Disney teams up with OpenAI
In a historic partnership, Disney has licensed its characters including Mickey Mouse and Star Wars to OpenAI’s Sora.

This will allow high quality AI generated video using some of the world’s most iconic characters.


➡️ OpenAI launches its own browser
OpenAI has launched Atlas, an AI powered browser with built in research assistants.

It can handle multi step online tasks automatically, which could change how we browse and work online.


AI, hardware, and content are clearly coming together. 

And this feels like just the beginning.

Which made you excited?

Let’s talk in the comments.

I asked Gemini to predict the future of AI.

Here’s what it told me.

We are slowly moving away from chatting with AI and moving toward assigning work to AI.

Today, we ask questions.
Tomorrow, we give instructions.

Instead of saying, “write an email” we’ll say, “handle this task”
and AI will open apps, click buttons, book things, send emails, update calendars, and come back only for approval.

From 2026 to 2030, AI won’t feel like a chatbot at all.

It will feel like:
 • a personal operating system
 • a digital employee
 • an assistant working quietly in the background

Google is making AI invisible but everywhere, across devices.

Anthropic is building AI that works like a trusted employee inside companies.

The real use isn’t better answers.
The future will be AI taking action.

If you’re building products, managing teams, or growing a business, this matters.

The question is no longer
“What can AI say?”

The question now is
“What can I delegate to AI?”

How do you see this in your world?

Not every business needs a 15-page website to start.

Honestly, sometimes one good landing page is enough.

I see many people complicating things when they’re just starting out.

✅ Yes, having a website is important.
✅ But no, it doesn’t have to be big, expensive, or perfect on day one.

Recently, I worked with a client who had a very old website.

I suggested building a new one, but she wasn’t ready to spend on a full website yet.

And that’s completely fine.

So instead of pushing a big website, I suggested a simple landing page.

➡️ One page.
➡️ Clear message.
➡️ Straight to the point.

We built it, and now she has an amazing online presence.

👉 Every business is different.
👉 Different goals.
👉 Different vision.
👉 Different budget.

As marketers, our job is to adjust the strategy, not force one solution on everyone.

Do what makes works best right now based on budget and timeline.

You can always build more later. 🚀

I gave Gemini a number, and this happened...🫣🫣

I shared a phone number with Gemini, and it came back with detailed information related to it. 

Everything it shared was accurate, which honestly surprised me.

Now think about it 

We use AI tools every day, but do we really understand how many tools, data points, and capabilities these LLMs actually have?

I am not fully sure how deep it goes, but I am 100% sure AI is moving really fast.

We are only scratching the surface.

Not all money is good money

The biggest mistake I made was saying yes to everyone

"Who you are selling to really matters."

👉 Same service.
👉 Same effort.
👉 Very different results.

One client focused only on price and problems.
Another focused on trust and results.

After a lot of experience, I learnt this.

🪶 Not every customer is your customer.

✅ The right people value expertise.
✅ They respect time.
✅ They want partnership, not constant convincing.

Selling gets easier when the fit is right.

Because freelancing is not just about what you sell.
It is about who you sell it to.

Good clients pay better.
➡️ They pay on time.
➡️ They respect your expertise.
➡️ They do not drain your energy.
➡️ They help you grow instead of holding you back.

What do you think?

I reviewed dozens of portfolios and almost all made the same mistake.

I see this every single week.

🫣 Beginners are still struggling to make a proper resume.
➡️ And honestly, many of them are still making basic mistakes.

🙌 Then come intermediates.
➡️ They improve a bit.
➡️ They make a portfolio PDF and keep updating it.
➡️ But even here, I still see many mistakes.

Now let me tell you what experts do.

❌ Experts do not stop at resumes or PDFs.
✅ They build a portfolio website.

A website shows your work, your skills, your story and your seriousness.

➡️ It works for you 24/7.
➡️ It builds trust before you even talk to someone.

If you are serious about your career, your freelancing, your business or your personal brand, a website is not optional anymore.

👉 It is a smart step.
👉 It is a long-term asset.
👉 And it clearly separates you from the crowd.

I always recommend this to anyone who truly wants to grow.

If you want to see an example, here is my portfolio website
https://koushalsharma.com/

👉 Have a look.
And if you are thinking about building your own portfolio website or improving your online presence, feel free to message me or visit my profile.

Your future clients or employers are already searching online.

Make sure they find you.

AI is not replacing people.

It is replacing busywork we should have stopped doing years ago.

I just read a really thoughtful article by Ivan Zhao, Co-founder & CEO of Notion, and it made me stop and think.

He talks about how every era is shaped by a breakthrough material.

➡️ Steel built cities.
➡️ Computers built the digital age.
➡️ And now AI is here.

The idea that most of us are still using AI like a better search tool. 

Helpful, yes. 

But very early.

The next change is when AI stops being just a tool and starts becoming something we manage.

➡️ Minds that work while we sleep.
➡️ Minds that handle the repetitive stuff.
➡️ So humans can focus on thinking, decisions, and creativity.

We are still in the early phase, like using steam engines but designing work for water wheels. 

The real change will come when we redesign how work actually happens.

The future of work will not just be faster.

It will be different.

Curious to know, what part of your daily work do you think AI should take over first?

How I got my first client on LinkedIn

A client messaged me directly on LinkedIn.

We talked about what he needed, I shared how I work, and everything is professional and easy.

By the end of the conversation, the project was closed at $550.

What I learned (again):

When you show up regularly, share your work, and stay genuine, people trust you.

And trust closes deals.

Just sharing this to share the importance of staying consistent.

“Why are OTAs giving more bookings than my hotel website?”

I hear this question from hotel owners all the time.

Most hotel websites are not losing bookings because the hotel is bad.

They lose bookings because the experience is bad.

Here’s what I see again and again 👇

➡️ Website loads slowly
➡️ Not properly mobile friendly
➡️ No clear CTAs
➡️ No trust signals like reviews, real photos, clear policies

Guests today want easy and fast, not fancy.

If booking feels confusing, they leave. 

Simple as that.

Many owners believe that just having a website like an OTA will bring bookings.

But that’s not how it works.

OTAs like booking.com are marketplaces.

They already have customers.

You only need to present your rooms.

Your website is different.

You must present your hotel AND market the website.
 ou need monthly visitors, visibility, and trust.

The good part?

When you invest in your own website properly 👉

✅ You stop paying high commissions
✅ You build a strong hotel brand
✅ You show only your rooms, no competitors
✅ You create long-term direct bookings

OTAs are good for exposure.

Your website is for control and growth.

If your hotel website is not converting, it’s not a design problem.

It’s a strategy problem.

👉 If you want more direct bookings, start treating your website like a real business asset.

👉 Message me or visit my profile. 

Let’s fix it properly.

“Excuses don’t win championships.” – Harvey Specter

This one line from Suits has always stayed with me.

I genuinely love this dialogue because it is not just about winning cases. 

👉 It is about mindset.

What Harvey Specter is really saying here is simple but powerful.

➡️ Results come from ownership, not explanations.
➡️ Progress comes from action, not comfort.
➡️ Leadership is about accountability, especially when things go wrong.

In business, teams do not move forward because of reasons.

They move forward because someone decides to take responsibility and deliver.

Excuses might make us feel better in the moment, but they do not build trust, performance, or long-term success. 

Champions in work, leadership, or life focus on solutions, discipline, and consistency.

That is why this dialogue is my favourite.

It is about showing up, doing the work, and raising the standard every single day.

50% of travelers will never see your hotel if your rating is below 4.0.

Hotel owners know reviews matter.

👇 But most are still confused about how they really work

➡️ How do I get more reviews
➡️ How should I reply properly
➡️ Do reviews really affect Google ranking and bookings

➡️ Here’s the truth 
Reviews are not a report card.
They are your marketing engine and your backend sales team.
When a guest is booking a hotel, their brain is doing only one thing

Trying to feel safe.
➡️ A hotel with 300 reviews feels safer than one with 5 reviews
➡️ Even if the rating is slightly lower
➡️ People naturally follow the crowd

Guests don’t read reviews to praise you

They read reviews to reduce risk
➡️ Cleanliness
➡️ Noise
➡️ Staff behaviour
➡️ Bad experiences

👉 And freshness matters more than most owners think

If your last review is old, guests assume something is wrong or that the hotel is declining

✅ Now let’s talk Google 
➡️ Google treats reviews as fresh content
➡️ Guest-written keywords help you rank automatically
➡️ More reviews mean more visibility


👉 One small number makes a big difference 
➡️ If your rating drops below 4.0, many travelers never see your hotel


➡️ So how do you get more reviews without annoying guests 
➡️ Ask during the stay when the guest is happy
➡️ Make it easy with QR codes or direct links
➡️ Follow up once after checkout, not multiple times

Now the most ignored part 

👉 responding to reviews
Replies are not for the guest who already stayed
They are for the next guest reading your page

👉 For positive reviews 
➡️ Thank them personally

👉 For negative reviews 
➡️ Acknowledge the issue
➡️ Stay calm and professional
➡️ Explain briefly
➡️ Share what you fixed
➡️ Move the conversation offline

Never argue publicly
Even if the guest is wrong

✅ Professional replies build trust
✅ Trust increases bookings

If you are a hotel owner struggling with reviews and reputation management 
👉 Visit my profile
👉 Check my website
👉 Message me directly

This one area alone can quietly increase your revenue without spending more on ads.

Most successful hotel websites focus on these 10 things.

A great hotel website is not about fancy design.

It’s about how easy it is for guests to find, trust, and book.

Here’s what actually makes a hotel website work 👇

1️⃣ Clear and simple navigation so guests find rooms and prices fast.
2️⃣ Fast loading pages because slow websites lose bookings.
3️⃣ High-quality photos that show the real hotel experience.
4️⃣ A visible “Book Now” button on every important page.
5️⃣ Mobile-friendly design because most guests book on phones.
6️⃣ Simple booking steps with minimum clicks and forms.
7️⃣ Reviews and ratings placed near the booking area.
8️⃣ Clear room details, pricing, and policies with no confusion.
9️⃣ Trust signals like secure payment and clear privacy info.
🔟 A design that matches the hotel’s brand and target guests.

At the end of the day, guests don’t want to think too much.

They want clarity and speed.

If your website gives them that, you will get direct bookings from the website.

“Google shows wrong information about my hotel”

This is more common than most hotel owners have.

And it’s dangerous.

Because guests trust Google more than brochures, ads, or even your website.

👇 Here are the usual problems I see 

➡️ Wrong location pin
This happens when wrong or multiple addresses are added on different platforms

➡️ Old or wrong photos
Outdated images, wrong hotel name, or mixed photos from past listings confuse guests

➡️ Incorrect amenities
Often updated wrongly by staff or an agency without proper checking

➡️ Outdated phone number
Wrong number added once and then copied everywhere

One small mistake spreads fast.

And Google remembers everything.

👇 So how do you fix this properly 

✅ Use the same correct information everywhere
✅ Don’t confuse Google with multiple versions of your hotel
✅ Stay involved with your marketing agency or staff
✅ Upload fresh photos and videos regularly
✅ Keep checking your business info again and again
✅ Fix old mistakes immediately

 
If your Google listing is wrong, you are losing bookings before guests even reach your website.

👉 Want help cleaning and fixing your hotel’s online presence?

👉 Message me or visit my profile.

“Do I really need digital marketing? We already have Booking.com.”

I hear this question from hotel owners all the time.

And honestly, it sounds logical at first.

Many owners think ➡️
OTAs = marketing

But here’s the real picture 👉
Platforms like Booking.com, Expedia, and others are marketplaces.

They already have customers.
You are simply renting those customers.

They are not building your hotel brand.
They are building theirs.

Today your bookings are fine.

Tomorrow one policy changes.
Ranking drops or commission increases.
And suddenly your bookings fall.

👉 Dependence ≠ growth

👇 Here’s what digital marketing actually does

✅ Builds your hotel brand
✅ Creates trust before guests compare prices
✅ Brings repeat and direct bookings
✅ Gives you control over pricing and visibility


OTAs are useful.
But they should support your business, not run it.

If all your bookings come from OTAs, your hotel is working for them.
Not the other way around.

👉 Digital marketing is not an expense.
It’s protection for your future bookings.

➡️ Want to reduce OTA dependency and grow direct bookings?

Message me or visit my profile.

“What if AI makes mistakes?”

Wrong booking details?
Incorrect prices?
Wrong guest comunication?

👉 This fear is very common among hotel owners.

Here’s a simple example.

A hotel chatbot is first trained for the most common 80% situations

➡️ Room availability
➡️ Check in and check out times
➡️ Pricing rules
➡️ Cancellation policy
➡️ Basic guest questions

👉 So when guests message, the chatbot already knows what to say and how to say it.

You decide the rules and limits.
AI follows them.

✅ Fewer mistakes
✅ Faster replies
✅ Better guest experience

The real risk is not using AI while others move ahead.

If you want to understand how this works for your hotel, message me or visit my profile.

“Why should I update my website again?”

This is a very common question.

And the answer is simple.

Guests decide in the first 5 seconds.

That’s all the time your website gets.

👇 Here’s what happens when a website is outdated

➡️ Old design creates low trust
➡️ Not mobile friendly means instant exit
➡️ Slow or confusing pages lose bookings

Guests don’t say anything.
They just leave and book somewhere else.

Your website is not decoration.

It’s your digital salesperson working 24/7.

👉 If it looks tired, slow, or confusing
➡️ Guests assume the same about the hotel.
➡️Updating your website is not about looks.
➡️ It’s about branding, reputation, speed and trust.


👇 A good website 
✅ Guides guests
✅ Answers questions
✅ Pushes bookings naturally

👉 If your website is not selling, it needs attention.
👉 Visit my profile or message me. Let’s fix it the right way.
