CHAPTER 1: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF Believing in yourself is the first step toward success. Everyone starts
as a beginner. Doubting yourself can slow down your progress, while confidence helps you try more and
learn faster.
Example: Ravi wanted to start learning digital marketing. He was afraid of failing, but he practiced every
day and slowly became confident in his skills.
CHAPTER 2: TIME MANAGEMENT Time is your most valuable resource. Managing it well helps you study,
learn skills, and rest properly. Avoid wasting hours on mobile phones and social media. Create a simple
daily schedule and stick to it.
Example: Anika dedicated one hour each day to learn Canva. After a month, she was able to design
posters confidently.
CHAPTER 3: FOCUS & DISCIPLINE Focus helps you complete tasks. Discipline helps you stay consistent.
Distractions reduce productivity, so decide on one task at a time and complete it fully.
Example: Rohan decided to learn social media marketing. By focusing one hour every day without
distractions, he completed a beginner course in 30 days.
CHAPTER 4: HANDLING FAILURE Failure is part of learning. Every successful person fails before winning.
Learn from your mistakes and grow stronger.
Example: Sita tried freelancing for the first time and didn’t get clients. She analyzed what went wrong,
improved her portfolio, and later succeeded.
CHAPTER 5: WHY SKILLS MATTER Marks and degrees are important, but skills are your real value. Skills
help solve problems and earn income. In the digital age, communication, design, and marketing skills
are highly useful.
Example: Karan learned digital marketing skills and started helping small businesses online. Soon, he
earned a steady income.
CHAPTER 6: COMMUNICATION & CONFIDENCE Good communication builds confidence and trust. Speak
clearly and listen carefully. Confidence grows with practice.

Example: Arjun followed online tutorials on graphic design and completed small projects to practice.
CHAPTER 8: WHAT IS DIGITAL MARKETING Digital marketing is promoting products or services online. It
includes social media, websites, ads, and content. Every business wants online growth.
Example: Tina helped a small shop increase Instagram followers and sales by creating engaging posts.
CHAPTER 9: INSTAGRAM & WHATSAPP FOR GROWTH Instagram is great for visual promotion. WhatsApp
helps direct communication. Regular posts and clear messages build trust.
Example: Rahul used Instagram to show his handmade crafts. Using WhatsApp, he communicated with
customers directly and increased orders.
CHAPTER 10: CANVA FOR BEGINNERS Canva is an easy tool for designing posters, posts, resumes, and
ads. Learning Canva helps with digital work and freelancing.
Example: Pooja learned Canva and started creating social media posts for local businesses.
CHAPTER 11: ONLINE ADS BASICS Online ads reach people faster than regular posts. Start with a low
budget and learn gradually.
Example: A local bakery ran Instagram ads for ₹100/day and got 10 new customers in one week.

presence increases visibility and trust.
Example: Vijay helped a local clothing store set up Instagram and WhatsApp updates, which increased
sales.
CHAPTER 13: FREELANCING BASICS Freelancing is offering your skills for payment. Design, writing, and
marketing skills are in demand. Start small and grow gradually.

fake offers. Focus on learning first.
