EP39: Making More Money with Neel Dhingra

Selling without actually having to sell – how cool is that? In this episode of the I Own It podcast, we have Neel Dhingra, an entrepreneur, investor, business growth expert, content creator, and founder of Forward Academy USA, an online educational space where he teaches the latest techniques in content creation – no BS included. Starting out in real estate, Neel broke the stigma of constant selling and started giving away information for free on his socials. He believes putting out informational videos and posts to create impact and simplify complex topics (from housing to content creation) is his obligation.  He is extremely passionate about what he does and aims to inspire other aspiring entrepreneurs and influencers to get in on the game. He has played the long game, regularly uploading videos on YouTube and posting on his social media – even cashing in on TikTok!  Tune in to this episode to learn his secrets, so you can maximize social media trends for your business growth. I hope his love for teaching and informing people will encourage you to turn on your camera and start recording!
