If you are
new to blogging or you want to do well with your blog, then you must read this
interview, this can help you. So lets start this interview with Pradeep.
1. Can you tell our readers about yourself and your blog?
Hi Rohan, thanks for featuring me in this interview. My name is Pradeep Kumar , I'm a ProBlogger from Chennai. I have been blogging for the past
few years, it started from my 'curiosity' and later became my 'crush'. I fell in love with Blogging, not
because I can make money out of my blog, but because I was having a tool which helps me to
communicate with millions.
HellBound Bloggers (HBB) is my first
official blog. It's an Internet Web Magazine, where we share updates about Blogging, Social Media, SEO,
Making Money Online and other related stuff. HBB is a part of Slashsquare, an Indian Blog Network & Web Consulting Media, founded &
managed by me.
2. Describe how did you first get into blogging?
It was during my school days; my elder brother started a blog before me, and I was really curious to find
out what it is. I didn't know anything about 'Blogging' during that time; I don't even remember whether I
knew the spelling of 'Blogging' properly as well. I was just very curious, plainly.
I started my first blog on Blogger.com; I copy pasted so many articles, but at one point I realised the true
face of Blogging and considered it equal to journalism, so I decided to make it professional and stuff. This
helped me a lot to grow.
3. Can you tell me some of your strengths that really helped you in blogging?
I got connected with as many like-minded people as possible. I think this is the main reason why I'm able
to network with fellow probloggers and other people in my field. My biggest strength probably.
4. How would you describe your blogging style?
Ah, I dunno, maybe 'Calm + Serious' at the same time. ;)
5. What type of networking do you think is better to enhance your traffic to the blog?
What type of networking... well, see, I would prefer bloggers to mingle and interact with fellow bloggers
and probloggers in their field. Take our DeviceBAR FB group, for example; we have several probloggers in
our group helping newbie bloggers and tech amateurs.
This act of helping common people, I mean, helping right from the heart without any expectation, is the
best networking I can think of. You are actually doing networking without even knowing that you are
networking. :)
6.What do you think is the best social media strategy for getting more visitors to a blog?
Facebook groups! I'm not actually saying every blogger should create/start a Facebook group, add
members and share blog posts. What I'm saying is, if you want to create a community or help a group of
people, then Facebook groups are really effective. Apart from that, it'll be really nice if Bloggers can also
consider YouTube for their traffic source, since it's the 2nd largest search engine in the world, next to
Google.
7.Would you encourage other people to make their blog?
I wouldn't really force them, but I would definitely suggest them. Maybe I won't ask them to start a
professional blog and make money out of it, but they can definitely start a personal blog with their name
domain name and start to explore the beauty of Blogging.
8. Is blogging your profession or just a hobby?
It's both! It's my passion. I maybe be still blogging because I can generate money from my blogs, but
apart from that, I really love learning & sharing what I know, I feel Blogging is a great medium for doing
that.
9.A lot of people think that blogging is an easy way to make money online. Do you have some tips for
those people who are interested in making money from the blog?
It's true that we can make money online with blogs, but if you ask me whether it's easy or not.. then it's
definitely a big question mark. It's not easy or difficult, it really depends on your vision towards your
blog. If you can achieve success by smart and hard work, then it's just a matter of time to monetize your
blog and make revenue out of it.
There is no Secret Ingredient. :)
