to influence tonnes of individuals to make Digital marketing a prospective career. Digital Hafiz has completed his Bachelor’s from Prahladrai Dalmia Lions College of Commerce & Economics. One will never spot Hafiz sitting idle, he is always hungry for information.

Apart from being a successful Digital Marketer he also has a passion for dancing. He runs a dance school called HS Dance Station in Malad (West) and Andheri West, Mumbai which has been achieving the heights of success for the last 3.5years.

As of today, he has trained more than 1.5k+ students and choreographed various troops and encouraged them to earn several laurels for their hard work.

When he was 18, he was first introduced to the digital world. His nature of always thinking out of the box and helping people earn a living made him think about this field with a completely new perspective and a different kind of determination. When he asked his friends and seniors from school for help he was always turned down and warned for taking up a career that will not pay him enough to live a decent life. His journey from where everyone around him said why are you taking up digital marketing as a career to how we can begin a career in digital marketing has been commendable.

When he initially started his career as a digital marketer his everyday job included doing SEOs for over 50+ clients like every regular digital marketer.

About 1.5 years later, one day while Digital Hafiz was stuck in a traffic signal he happened to encounter a middle aged man selling PINWHEEL aka firki on the streets.

Life on the street often distressed/saddened him. This thought suddenly crossed his mind that why can’t a small business owner like him go digital and create an identity of his own.

Digital Hafiz is often found repeating this mantra again and again that “It’s not the product you sell matters-how you sell it makes a difference.” He decided to offer the pinwheel seller a deal that would completely change his fortune. Needless to say, this proposal changed his life drastically.

The Pinwheel seller earlier used to make about 200-400 per day. Digital Hafiz, felt responsible for his situation. He thought to himself that a Pinwheel seller who plays so many roles at the same time does not get the recognition he deserves.

That very day he decided to create a brand out of the pinwheel seller and drive revenue for him. This proved to be a turning point in his life. The pinwheel seller at first did not think of this idea to be a success leave aside it becoming a brand. Digital Hafiz took it upon himself and put together a team of his own comprising of a Business Development Manager and a Web Developer.

He then strategically developed a website for the Pinwheel seller by smartly documenting all the data with clear info-graphics concepts. The main goal was to deliver smart directions that will communicate, and get your message out on the web for the benefit of the target customer.

Digital marketing played a primary role in disseminating propaganda and information. Earlier a simple Pinwheel seller was just a small scale businessman living next door. Today he is recognized as a manufacturer, an industrialist, a wholesaler and a retailer as well.

Digital Hafiz critically examined the problem areas, build a website for him, worked with the search engine locally, marketed his brand minutely on Social media and charged very less for these services. Currently, this very pinwheel seller takes big orders for weddings and birthday parties and makes deliveries all over Mumbai.

He currently works with a team of 10+ members and has collaborated with a variety of distributors to expand his business.

Over the years he has served more than 1000+ clients including international clients. Some famous brands he has worked with include Johnson & Johnson Vision, Ormco India, Zydus Cadila, IPCA and many more. His skills limit not only to SEO but also SMO, PPC, Viral Marketing as well as YouTube marketing.

His vision is to make digital marketing a viral profession and a must -have for every small or large scale business. He is very excited about his upcoming projects with such small business owners and to give them financial freedom.

 

A message that Digital Hafiz wants to send to all the aspiring digital marketers is that “Believing in yourself is much more important than actually achieving it.  #digitalhafizshaikh
