Interview Details:
Question: What made you to enter in to Blogosphere?.
Answer: While surfing internet I realized India
has been not represented as much as that of other countries. I wanted to
highlight India and write posts on it (you can find on localities of USA or
other developed countries on net but not India).Adding to that providing free
knowledge was another aim. So I created this blog to provide minor details
about India and also helping individuals find free knowledge. Going forward I
will also add freelancer help section and government exam free help section
(help on some has already started).
Question: When and how you started your first Blog?.
Answer: I started one year back when my husband
bought web space and domain name as my birthday gift.
Question: What are the suggestions you like to give
for Newbie Bloggers?.
Answer: There are lots of spam website on net
proving misleading info. Beware of them. Also think of a topic you are
interested in and willing to learn as time progresses. There is no quick money
so take it as 2-5 year investment (money + effort) in ratio 20% to 80 %.
Question: What are the hurdles you faced while
starting a blog?.
Answer: I had to choose a platform and also learn
WordPress along with some web optimization and search engine optimization.
Question: What are the essential things we have to
consider while starting a Blog?.
Answer: Start with shared hosting (least money
plan)
Choose a good hosting provider (good if
you choose Indian)
Blog about topic you are interested
Do not go for spam techniques or no need
for any massive optimization. Google will find you (I got my first page indexed
and ranked without any major optimization)
Question: What’s your view on Education and the role
of Blogging on Education?.
Answer: Definitely it can play great role with
lots of youngsters moving to internet it can help. I myself got many queries on
few government exam (I had posts on them).Also some of posts were top posts on
exam days. I should say this is one of my aim (provide free preparatory and
study guides to students (Linux, government exams and other open source
softwares). Few of them are achieved few left .I also saw your website based on
this theme as well.
Question: What are the ways you used to promote your
Blog?.
Answer: Only social media like Facebook, Google
plus and twitter (which also helps me connect to individuals and sort their
queries).Apart from these use Bing and Google webmaster for site optimization.
With time people will share your content if they like it and blog gets self
promoted so content should be good.
Question: Do you think Blogging is an effective ways
to share our thought? If yes how?.
Answer: Yes it is. You can write your thoughts and
share with the world. Also comments from people help you understand their point
of view. In my opinion it is cheapest way to share and hear thoughts on topics
of your liking.
Question: Is there any embarrassing moment you faced
in your Blogging life?.
Answer: Site got hacked once
Question: Please tell us about any 2 Blogs you
admired?.
Answer: I refer labnol.org to check what he is
using (like schema.org tags).It is good place to check out.
Seomoz.org for search engine optimization
related posts.
Question: If you want to add anything additionally
you can add below:
Answer: There is no quick money blogging specially
for Indian bloggers with major traffic from India. It takes time for your blog
to gain popularity. Also no need for spam techniques.
Above all I myself is learning it and all
above are based on my experience.
