Interview

Q1: Welcome to Speakbindas. Tell us since when blogging has been a part of your life? Was there any motive or inspiration as a backbone of it?

A1: First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Devang Vibhakar for giving this opportunity to express myself here.

Well! Blogging started being a part of my life from January 26, 2009. My biggest motivators are two people. My lecturers, Mr. N. Richard Devaraj and Mr. Joseph Rajapandian who inspired me a lot with their support in educating and encouraging me when I was studying in The American College, Tamil Nadu.

They encouraged me to try internet in various aspects. Hence, I was the most addicted person in our computer lab and I have started educating others like them. Since blogging is the best way to learn and educate, I have chosen this vast platform.

Q2: What is your blog all about? Which topics you cover there? Is that you alone running/maintaining the blog, or have a team?

A2: BlogrPro.Com is committed to focus on topics ranging from Blogging, SEO, Make Money Online, WordPress, Web Design, Softwares, Mobile Phones to the many ways technology.

BlogrPro.Com is currently maintained by me and my best friend Mr. K.Karthik who is a business magnet. He exactly will resemble my interests. But he has not yet started blogging. Instead we will discuss everything about our blogs to make them more popular and unique.

Q3: What are the present statistics for your blog, i.e. number of daily visitors, visitors geographical status etc.?

A3: We are getting around 900 – 1300 page views daily which make us to get around 28k to 30k page views per month. We have regular readers from India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, US, Venezuela, New Zealand, etc.

Q4: Is blogging for you just a passion or a medium for earning too? Does it help you to earn enough cash to quit a 9 to 5 day job?

A4: Frankly said, we don’t mind earning money. What’s our 90% target is creating our blog as a brand name like other popular bloggers. But it’s good to earn for what we have invested in our blog. We still have to try putting ads on our blog. But it may cost around a year to start monetizing our blog.

Q5: Who are your favorite bloggers, whom you read frequently?

A5: I am not sure how to answer for this question. But the fact is that I love our blog – BlogrPro.Com at most and I will read my articles more than our readers. Because, I love my own writing style. But the person I admire is Daniel Scocco of DailyBlogTips.Com. He is very open than any other bloggers.

Q6: From the secret bucket of your blogging experiences, what tips you would like to share with the fellow bloggers?

A6: Make your blog name to sound like a brand name. You are 100% responsible for everything from scratch to the dead end. And don’t ever call you as professional blogger or an expert. Because, you never can be an expert than anyone. Because you yourself will break your own statistics every second. Finally be positive and when negative things starts coming, combine them to join with your positives to make it flame like electricity.

Q7: Do you believe that blogging completes you? If yes, tell us how?

A7: Definitely NO. And no one can say YES for this question. I think they will say YES for what I said here as NO.

Q8: What was the happiest and gloomiest moment of your life?

A8: Happiest moment is whenever I listening to music. Gloomiest one was in my post graduation life. Here, I should mention something to all of you. If you are getting so many enemies without any reason, I am 100% sure you will see more success than those enemies.

Q9: Say, you are sponsored to travel to 3 world destinations, where you need not to worry about costs for food, hotel or anything. Which destinations would you pick up, and why? Would you like to take someone along with you? If yes, whom?

A9: Life is not just like going from source to destination. But I still love to go and see ISRO, YAHOO and Andaman Nicobar Islands. I am interested much in SPACE research and hence I would like to try something in ISRO. YAHOO is because I love to see Mr. Jerry Yang and to ask something to him. And I love Andaman because of its wonderful nature.
