From RM200,000 in Debt… to Helping Businesses Generate Leads for Free.

I’m Jackie
— former tuition teacher, ex-restaurant owner, and now SEO strategist + founder of InboundX Academy.

I didn’t build success with ads, funnels, or hype — I did it with strategy, sweat, and search engines.

The Rock Bottom

I wasn’t always in marketing.

Back then, I was juggling side hustles — teaching tuition, flipping property, and running F&B businesses. I worked hard, but made all the classic mistakes: Too much loan. No backup. No real system.

Then came the collapse. RM200,000 in personal debt. MCO lockdown. Credit card interest spiraling. No income. Three kids to raise. Bank officers knocking.

It was one of those moments where you either break down or break through.

The Turning Point

That’s when I got serious about inbound marketing.

I couldn’t afford ads anymore. I had no capital, no agency team. Just time, a laptop, and Google

So I studied SEO, Google Business Profile, content strategy, automation tools. I built websites. Optimized pages. Ranked businesses.

Slowly, things started changing. One client. Then another. Then a few students.

I wasn’t just getting results for myself — I was helping others rank and get leads, too.
