I am pleased to announce that I have reached 5 Million reads on my C# Corner Profile.
Dreams do come true...
Friends, it is a joyful, honorable, and emotional time for me. Now whatever I am going to tell you, will come out of my heart. Folks, it's unbelievable that someone coming from a small town can reach 5 million on the most popular international IT Community, C# Corner. Guys, it's not a digit. It is the love, support, and trust of the community.
Why C# Corner?
A community is a group of people who come together for a common goal. C# Corner is one of the largest online communities for software developers. C# Corner is a members’ contribution-based community where members publish daily fresh content on learning and building better software and share their expertise via articles, blogs, videos, and forums. C# Corner aims to provide a safe space for software and data developers where everyone is respected, learned, shared, and inspiring others.
When did I decide to become an author at C# Corner?
As we all know that the journey of every tree starts with a seed and how it turns into a fruit tree under the supervision of the farmer. Today I am going to tell my story of how my journey to reach 5 million started. When was my seed sown in the IT industry as an author and how did it reach 5 million?
When I was in the final year of graduation, I got a chance one day. And, without wasting much time, I took that opportunity into my hands. I had little experience at that time. But one thing that I had, the passion to learn, implement new things and also guide others the same. Therefore, I started my journey in the IT industry as an author. And, I started contributing my knowledge to C# Corner, a well-known and very popular community.
My First Article
From 1st October 2019, I started writing articles on C# Corner. I wrote my first article and after some rejection from the editing team, it was accepted. As a newcomer, I had little experience writing technical articles, but my mentor was really helpful, and the editing team was helpful enough to be available to assist. After everything went well, the first article of my life was finally published. And, the response was fantastic. People were cheering, encouraging to write more and more. I have never seen in my life how much people appreciate your small contribution to the community.
C# Corner values your contribution
C# Corner valued my effort and contribution to the community. And, as a token of appreciation from the community, C# Corner awarded me the C# Corner MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award.
C# Corner MVP Award - for the first time
After writing various articles on different technologies for a long time, one day I got a call from my mentor and he said, "Congratulations Onkar! You have been awarded the MVP Award by C# Corner. Please check the news on C# corner and also check the mail". Oh My Goodness! It seemed like a dream. This moment was very encouraging for me. The C# Corner MVP was the first award I got since I started contributing to the tech community. It was giving me a sense of fulfillment that your efforts and contributions are being recognized. And, till that day my articles were read a few million times. Friends, that day was 1 January 2020.
