The Beginning: A Dream Sparked in 2018. Hello, Hi, Assalamualaikum. My name is Md Alomgir Hossain, though most of my friends and colleagues call me Rifat. Well now I am going to tell you my 7 year Digital Marketing Journey. From zero to hero. Let’s go.
My journey in digital marketing began in 2018, when I was just a first-year college student after completing my SSC from Rajshahi and moving to Sylhet. Life in Sylhet was not easy — no friends, no relatives, and a local dialect I could hardly understand. But what started as isolation soon turned into the foundation of my professional life.
While scrolling through Facebook one day, I came across an opportunity — a growing startup named CampusToCareerBD.com, which aimed to guide students from campus life to professional careers. The vision excited me, and even though I was the youngest and least experienced member of the 13-member team, I decided to invest BDT 4,000 to buy a small share of the company.
That single decision changed my life.
My First Step into SEO
One of my teammates asked me, “Do you know SEO?”
At that time, I didn’t — but I immediately started learning through YouTube tutorials and applied what I learned directly on the company website. Within just a few days, my first blog ranked #1 on Google. That moment of success gave me the motivation I needed.
I fell in love with SEO.
Soon, I was writing, optimizing, and leading small projects inside the team. Eventually, I bought the entire company and became the sole owner of CampusToCareerBD.com, which was valued at over $500. Alongside, I started my freelancing career on platforms like Upwork and gained my first international clients.
The Setback: Losing It All and Starting Over
But life wasn’t always smooth.
During my first year of college, I got so focused on work that I attended classes only three times. I even failed in seven subjects, and my principal warned me to refocus on studies. Around the same time, my company domain expired, my Upwork account was suspended, and I lost everything I built.
That was one of the hardest moments in my life.
I decided to step back from work and concentrate on education.
Restarting After the Pandemic
After passing HSC in 2019, I started preparing for university admission.
Then came COVID-19 — the lockdown paused the world, but it reignited my motivation to grow. In 2021, I began rebuilding my skills, learning new tools, and updating myself with the latest digital trends.
In Spring 2022, I got admitted into East West University, Department of CSE, and began balancing academics with freelancing once again.
My First Corporate Job: The Turning Point
On July 15, 2022, I attended my first corporate interview at an image editing company named Cut Out House.
I was offered a part-time position — 4 hours a day for 8,000 BDT/month. It was a small start, but I saw it as a big opportunity.
At Cut Out House, I not only applied my SEO and content knowledge but also learned WordPress development and design. Within a short time, the company ranked among the Top 5 image editing companies in the USA. That success taught me that even small roles can lead to major growth.
Building My Client Network
Alongside my corporate job, I started getting local and international clients —
companies like Fix The Retouch, Ducon Construction Chemical Industries Ltd., Shaksham Upskills, Buy Bulk Acc, and others.
I began managing multiple SEO and website projects while studying full-time at the university.
By December 2023, my office shifted from Rampura to Mohammadpur, which made commuting challenging in Dhaka’s traffic. I transitioned into a home-office setup and started focusing on higher-level projects.
Joining Fountech BD: A New Chapter
On February 15, 2024, I joined Fountech BD as a Website Speed Optimization & Technical SEO Specialist.
The Managing Director personally interviewed me and trusted my skills enough to let me join immediately.
Today, I proudly serve as the Digital Marketing Manager at Fountech BD —
leading campaigns, optimizing websites, and guiding a talented in-house team.
I’ve successfully worked with over 120+ local and international clients, including:
- Ducon Construction Chemical Industries Ltd.
- Bangladesh Swimming Pool Ltd.
- Victory Clipping Path
- Enviro Shield
- Restart Psychology Consultancy
- eDevPark
- Shaksham Upskill, and many more.

Lessons Learned from 7 Years of Growth
- Consistency always wins. Small daily improvements create massive long-term results.
- Failures are lessons. My lost company taught me real resilience.
- Learn. Adapt. Evolve. The digital world changes fast; staying updated is survival.
- Build relationships. Clients are not numbers — they’re long-term partners.
- Believe in yourself. No one can define your limits but you.
Today and Beyond
From a student who once failed seven subjects to managing multi-brand campaigns,
my journey proves that passion, persistence, and learning can transform anyone’s life.
Today, I continue helping businesses grow online through SEO, content marketing, and digital transformation.
I also guide newcomers who want to start their freelancing or marketing careers — just like I did in 2018.
And this is only the beginning.
The next chapter of my journey is about building The Trendy Talk, my personal brand and blog, to share everything I’ve learned — so others can grow faster and smarter.
Final Words
“Success doesn’t come overnight — it’s built every day through passion, failure, and consistency.”
