Hey there! If you’re here, you were probably looking for someone who does digital marketing, blogging, freelancing, SEO, or maybe just curious about the person behind StudyGem.in. Either way – welcome.
I’m Ashutosh, a Noida-based freelancer who’s been growing websites and running profitable campaigns since 2020. I also run StudyGem.in, which at its peak crossed 3.6 lakh monthly organic visitors, and I used to manage IndiaCSR.blog, taking it to around 2 lakh organic traffic during my time there. Right now I’m also running UttarPradeshNewz.com – a fast-growing Hindi-English digital news portal covering Uttar Pradesh – along with its X handle @upnewz_ (currently the main place where I share quick updates, breaking stories, and regional insights).
But honestly? One of my all-time favourite ways to earn, right from my college days, has been guest posting. It was my first real part-time income source, and even today, it’s something I actively do and love teaching to students and young freelancers who want to earn without leaving their hostel room.
How It All Started
Quick Background
- Noida → Vanasthali Public School (Sector 56) → Modern School, Noida → Political Science Honours, Shri Aurobindo College (Delhi University)
- Started earning through guest posting while still in college (my absolute favourite part-time income source back then – and even now)
- Launched StudyGem.in in 2022 → scaled it to 3.6 lakh organic traffic
- Took IndiaCSR.blog to 2 lakh monthly visitors during my tenure
- Currently managing UttarPradeshNewz.com + @upnewz_ on X as an independent digital news project
Early Life and Education: Detailed Overview
Schooling at Vanasthali Public School, Noida
My educational journey began at Vanasthali Public School in Sector 56, Noida, a place that instilled in me the values of discipline, curiosity, and hard work. Known for its nurturing environment, Vanasthali provided me with a solid academic foundation and opportunities to explore my interests beyond the classroom. Whether it was participating in extracurricular activities or excelling in my studies, my time at Vanasthali shaped my approach to learning and problem-solving—skills that I carry with me to this day.
Modern School, Noida: A Step Further
After Vanasthali, I continued my schooling at Modern School, Noida, another prestigious institution that broadened my horizons. Modern School’s emphasis on holistic development encouraged me to think critically and creatively. It was here that I began to develop an interest in subjects that required analytical thinking, setting the stage for my future academic pursuits. The supportive faculty and vibrant community at Modern School played a key role in refining my personality and aspirations.
Graduation from Delhi University: Political Science Honours
My higher education took me to Shri Aurobindo College, Delhi University, one of India’s most renowned institutions, where I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science Honours. Graduating from DU was a transformative experience that deepened my understanding of governance, society, and human behavior, topics that continue to influence my work today. Political Science taught me how to analyze complex systems, a skill that seamlessly translates into my current projects in digital marketing and web development. My time at DU also honed my research and writing abilities, which later became the foundation for my work as an author on StudyGem.in.
What Keeps Me Busy These Days
News Writing & Portal Management – Running UttarPradeshNewz.com and @upnewz_ (politics, crime, education, jobs – everything UP)
Guest Posting – Still my favourite side income and the first skill I teach students who want to earn online
SEO Projects – Audits, content strategy, link building, on-page fixes
Google Ads & Meta Ads – Search, PMax, Lead Gen campaigns with consistent 4–7x ROAS
eBooks & Graphics – Quick lead magnets, thumbnails, social creatives
Right now I’m handling a mix of SEO retainers, ad accounts, one e-book project, and yes – still sneaking in a few high-paying guest posts every month.
