Welcome to my blog! I am Naveen Chamara, a dedicated SEO expert and digital marketing enthusiast based in Sri Lanka. I have a passion for helping businesses enhance their online presence and achieve their digital marketing goals.
Professional Life
My career began as an aircraft technician, a role I was passionate about. However, due to the political crisis in Sri Lanka, I faced significant financial struggles and could not secure a job in the aviation field. This led me to pivot into freelance web development, a skill I taught myself using online resources. Over time, I also delved into Search Engine Optimization (SEO), mastering the techniques needed to help businesses improve their online visibility.
In addition to web development and SEO, I became a top-rated eBay seller, successfully dropshipping products from China. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted my business, leading to the loss of my eBay account, which was my main source of income. Despite these setbacks, I remained resilient and focused on expanding my expertise in digital marketing.
With years of experience in the digital marketing industry, I specialize in conducting comprehensive SEO audits, performing in-depth keyword research, optimizing on-page and off-page elements, and tackling technical SEO challenges. My goal is to help businesses improve their visibility on search engines, attract organic traffic, and boost their online rankings.
I am also the founder of Growthly, a Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Web Development company. At Growthly, we focus on helping businesses navigate the complexities of digital marketing, ensuring sustainable growth and maximizing return on investment through data-driven, client-centric strategies.
Personal Life
My personal journey has been marked by significant challenges, particularly my struggles with depression and heroin addiction. After losing my eBay business due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I faced severe financial difficulties and fell into depression. In a desperate attempt to escape the suffocating grip of depression, I turned to heroin, which led me down a treacherous path of dependency and turmoil. Overcoming this addiction was one of the hardest battles I’ve ever faced, involving intense withdrawal symptoms and a fight against despair.
Initially, I sought help through medication, but I soon realized that this approach wasn’t enough for me. I began exploring natural healing methods, such as mindfulness practices and exercise, which played a crucial role in my recovery. Meditation and deep breathing exercises helped me manage stress and anxiety, while physical activities like walking in nature provided a much-needed release of tension and a natural boost to my mood.
My journey to recovery is ongoing, and there are still challenging days. However, embracing natural healing methods and fostering resilience have allowed me to reclaim control of my life. Through sharing my story, I hope to offer support and hope to others facing similar struggles, proving that recovery is possible and that every step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.
