I Killed My Poverty & Started Paying College Fees by Myself

I belonged from a small town Jaleshwar in Odisha. It had been a few months since I completed my school degree and was looking forward to joining college. Being the only daughter of the family, there were some economical constraints but my parents were trying their best to make my dream of studying in a prestigious college possible. I too wanted to help them, but I had no idea how to and what to do.

I still remember, I used to visit the cyber-cafe near my house and search for colleges and write down their respective fee structure in a piece of paper, and every night before sleeping I used to see it and think, it was ever possible for getting into one of these colleges..

One day while surfing in the cafe, I came across an online platform called LocalQueen. On LocalQueen, you could sell your items to buyers and even to resellers who would help in selling your products. It seemed interesting and then it struck me, even I could sell my Kantha Embroidered items like Scarfs, Dress materials, Napkins which I and mom used to make for selling at local markets.

Next day I called their customer care number and they were kind enough to teach me how to use the system in detail, step by step. I first set up my online shop, where i posted pictures of my products with their prices and shared it with the LocalQueen community. Trust me guys, the next day when i opened the website, I was filled with messages from ladies who were eager to buy and others willing to sell it for a commission! I was not at all expecting it! I connected with each and everyone of them and got the deals done. Slowly slowly, from one month to the other, the order number kept increasing and our products were being sent to all parts of India!

I am happy to say with this passive income, I have joined the college of my choice and now I’m able to fund the college fees by myself. LocalQueen is a boon for anyone who can utilize it properly. Thank you LocalQueen Team and Members for all the Love and Support!
