E8: Dare to Dream - How Bodmonzaid's Simple Clicks Led to Digital Dominance

On the Zaid Media podcast we interview and discuss with Laiba Zaid on her journey through social media. The episode touches on Laiba’s unexpected rise to fame, her initial ventures in beauty and fitness, the skepticism from her family, and the eventual support from her father.
Highlights
* 📸 Laiba’s organic growth on Instagram/KZread from 0 followers to over a 1 million
* 💼 Laiba pursued her passion despite uncertainty and without initially making any money from it.
* 📚 The decision to focus on her social media passion caused conflicts within her family, notably with her brother.
* 📈 Laiba’s breakthrough in making money online was through fitness courses, which surprised her family.
* 📱 Her success was unprecedented, especially as there weren't many South Asian influencers at that time.
* 💪 Despite external doubts, Laiba’s passion and dedication were evident, as she continued to create content out of genuine interest and love.
* 🙏 While initially met with skepticism, Laiba’s work has since made a profound impact on women globally.

    She's generous, humble and so so loving towards her entire family. The way she takes care of their each and every need is prominent in each of their videos. I've always been a silent follower of her. Heck, I dont go around writing mushy stuff for people. But she deserves it all. We love you Laiba. Keep rising x

    Love love love laiba. missing her so much to the point where this podcast made me cry. seeing her everyday, her positive vibes, her telling about how her day went and just everything about her is so perfect and missing that feeling of seeing her vlogs. that peace my mind used to get and the feeling of watching her god so so so wholesome. It's like being emotionally attached to her and just can't describe how much her vlogs her videos made me happy like literally everydayy. and now watching the same videos again and again and still getting happy by those peaceful vibes. It's like something you know when you're not feeling good this was that thing that made you feel better and literally peaceful. her voice that feeling of watching her miss that so much

    Laiba is a huge inspiration and motivation to me. I can truly relate to her in every aspect. A Desi Muslim girl in the West, with growing/aging parents and a sense of responsibility towards her family, while also struggling to feel a sense of belonging both in the West and back home. Ugh it’s not easy and I know she worked so so so hard for everything she has. I aspire to be the type of woman she is, InshaAllah 💕 The name “Laiba” means a beautiful woman of heaven and I think she manifests her name perfectly 🥺

I will follow her journey of whatever platform she is on because she’s one of the very few influencers who stayed true to who they are and she’s unapologetic about it. Watching her gave me the confidence that I needed to make changes and I will always be grateful to her for that. Thank you 🙏🏼

    while watching this podcast i was thinking i miss laiba doing vlogs and her bond with everyone in family such a sweet family and watching her open packages and do home chores while doing mine was therapeutic plus she's funny so you're entertained when watching her and then she explained the reason and it got me a lil sad for her that she had to struggle so much mentally, hoping she gets what she desires because she deserves it ❤️

    I have always been one of those silent watchers. I never really comment on videos etc but I just wanted to say Laiba what a role model you are especially to people of our race. I started watching you back in 2017 when I was only 12 and until today I’ve watched every single content you’ve created. It’s sad to see you leave this platform although you will still continue making videos for us on Instagram and TikTok. The delight I feel seeing people of our race progress and become this big is unexplainable. I hope you the best ahead. Love you a lot❤

    just remember, nothing in this temporary life is perfect. instagram and yt aesthetics are an illusion. in this era with all these social media apps unconsciously its been fed to our brains that EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERFECT. we feel pressurized to do EVERYTHING perfectly or we cannot do it. perfection is an illusion in this life. on the side note there are always going to be negative comments. fame comes with some percentage of haters. it’s for you to choose whether you want to be famous or not. personally i wouldn’t suggest leaving yt after coming this far. when you continue to work for yt ppl will shut up automatically, they’d acknowledge they have no reach to you. you guys are sweet and geniune ppl. never forget that. xx

Thank you for always being there through your vlogs I remember just turning on one of your vlogs whenever I felt anxiety or just lonely in university times. I guess it's not farewell since we will be seeing you thorugh short term content but definitely happy you were able to go through with your decision of quitting KZread. This Podcast was just so wholesome Mashallah Allahummabarik wish you all the best for the future, happiness and health for you and your family, take care 💐💗

    Loved this podcast! I hope one day I'll be able to have a chat with my brother like this and we'll have retired our parents and given them the lifestyle they sacrificed to provide for us. My dad is already at retirement age but is still working, partly because we still have reached the goals we've created for ourselves as a family and my brother and I are still trying to progress in our careers and businesses to a place where we're making enough to be financially stable but also happy with our lives. Since I entered my 20's, like Laiba said sometimes it just makes me cry seeing my parents still working long hours and getting sick at times. Even after helping them where I can, I feel it's still not enough, and I wish I had the capacity to work harder. But I just haven't been in the best place mentally to do so the past few years. I hope we reach those goals within a few years so we can see our parents enjoy life without worries after all these years. Thank you for showing that it's possible, and also those parting thoughts at the end about cherishing the people who are truly there for you. 💛 P.S. love your sibling relationship, my older brother and I stopped hanging out and really talking to each during high school and it's been like that for about 11 years now. IA our sibling bond will be like yours one day!
