2. How you first got involved in with blogging?

Ans: I got into blogging when I was 12, I used to test custom ROMs and many other tweaks made for android, specially my device, after that I thought of writing about them myself and then I opened my first “.blogspot” blog which doesn’t had any traffic, I realised this now,  But still, at that time , no traffic, no earnings, even I was not aware of Adsense and what is SEO but I was satisfied.

3. What do you find most challenging about blogging about your topic?

Ans: Most challenging part about blogging in any niche is that coming up with new ideas and sharing it with people. Every other blog is publishing same content if you go through them, to become successful, you have to come up with great and new ideas so that people like it and gets benefited from it. It’s not always about just  adding on content content content, the blogging game is all about quality content. One more difficulty faced by me, I guess every blogger does but they overlook it, is converting the traffic which you have gained. It’s not that you have ranked for keywords, got traffic and now you have added adsense and your job is over. You are monetizing traffic but not correctly, if you use affiliate marketing and PPD or any other monetizing method which is suitable to your audience then you can make 10x of Adsense.

4. Tell me about some of the people you’ve met while working on your blog?

Ans: Many people came and many went, some stayed with me and many betrayed. Some of the best persons I have come across are Vipul Garg, Rishab Saxena, Kunal Gupta and Mayank Gupta, I recently met them and they guided me and shared some strategies which can easily dominate our income which we are currently making from Adsense. Also there are probloggers which also stretches a hand for aid, Rajesh Dx, Iftekhar Ahmed, Vinay Goud, Gaurav Jaggi and many more. One of the best blogger is Rupali Singhal, the most friendly blogger I came across.

Ans: No, I am not a full time blogger, I am a student for now. Need to concentrate more on studies rather than blogging.

8. How do you keep coming up with material/content for your blog? Many people struggle with coming up with different articles/posts and they only have one blog.

You can find several problems of people at sites like yahoo answers or quora, just help them by writing in simple English and simple steps as much they can be. Also, one can write down their thoughts what they feel and what are their experiences.

Ans: Page Rank is dead now.

11. What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?

Ans: Content I would, because content is king , as said in old school times, but a new statement that is SEO is queen. So the first priority is always to deliver Quality Content then a bit of SEO to rank on google and achieve traffic after that getting some loyal readers who will surely share the article.

Ans: Something which will benefit the reader and will satisfy his needs.

13. A lot of people are interested in blogging for the money earning potential. What are some tips for people interesting in making money from blogging? What are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?

Ans: Blogging is not a piece of cake according to my experience, but once you get into it, it’s a deep forest, and there will come a point you will feel that you are lost but then you have to cut down trees and make your own ways rather than following other people’s path. And as far it is related to Money, blogging have a lot of money in it but one should know how to convert it readers and monetize them accordingly.

14. What has been your strategy for creating visibility to yourself and your blog?

Ans: Sharing on relevant groups and pages always helps in creating a separate space for your blog. But, my main strategy is ranking on Google rather than depending on Social Media, I know it’s a risky factor and my site may get penalized but Google have the potential to deliver a hell lot of traffic.

15.  What was the most challenging moment in your blog content development process and why?

Ans: In Initial Stages, when I wasn’t aware that what should I write, then I started following other people’s blog and wrote the content which they wrote, there came times when I started copying  article, Yes, I admit that at some point of time I used to copy articles but now lesson is learnt that you have to make your own content as your blog is your own space then why to fill it with other people’s content? Let’s not be a sheep in herd?

16. Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?

Ans: No such posts sorry, I like all of my posts as I know I have worked hard on them, invested my time in writing them so there is no discrimination among my posts.

Ans: I Look up to Rajesh Dx, Iftekhar Ahmed, Karan Vyas, Vinay Goud, Imran Uddin and many more.

18. If someone is interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?

Ans: I would suggest that please don’t blindly go in tech niche, as many newbie bloggers without realizing enter tech niche as they find it most common. So, first of all, figure out what is your niche then start writing on it, if you are comfortable with that topic then continue otherwise try another one. When you have selected the topic wisely, then you should focus on SEO, Traffic and Money.
