2: Describe how did you first get into blogging?

My friend Loknath Das and I have started making websites just for fun but later I took it as serious and started making it bigger, and my first website was Fortricks and then WideInfo. I was in partner with Loknath Das but time didn't accept this bonding, and I need to cancel with him.

3: What type of networking do you think is better to enhance your traffic to the blog?

I do believe in Social Networking as there are lots of friends and readers to visit the blog and put their activities on the blog.Traffic does not come automatically until unless you start sharing the articles and your blog.Also, do remember sharing the blog and articles do not attract the viewers as the content should have some meaningful and useful information so that every viewer get interested.

4: What do you think is the best service a blogger can provide to his readers?

Blogger can provide the Blog Management service, Writing Service and also after quite a research on SEO they can have their academy of education about SEO.

5: What do you think is the best strategy that worked well for you to get more traffic to your blog?

I have used several Indexing websites, Social Sites and Google Webmaster to drive traffic to my site and each day I used to write at least 10 articles a day and keep on sharing manually.

6: How do you think I rate your blog as an interviewer?

If the question is for me, then I do like to check WideInfo, design, Articles and other things I would rate myself as 0 because I do not love to highlight my blog as people they do highlight my blog. In blog, there is nothing but quite familiar as I do believe.Then what is there behind the success of my blogs? It's me who always try to help others by giving time and they check my creativity.

7: How do you want to improve yourself in the next year?

I am currently working on my personal Website to reach me directly and give some helpfull tools at seo tools and in my website Sujoy Dhar, where I am going to share the most advanced and useful Information for the newbie to learn and carryout their blogging life easily.

8: What was your greatest failure and what did you learn from that?

My biggest failure is to ask for the suggestion and support from my family regarding Online Work and they says no, but after quite somedays I have realized that how this Internet World can change my life.

9: How SEO is important in blogging?

SEO is very much important for blogging as without SEO ; your blog is nothing.To find you and your blog, SEO is necessary as everyone knows the Search Engines well and they type just your website or blog name and in return, they need to get what they want.

10: How active are you on a weekly basis? How often do you communicate with your followers?

I do try to keep active all the time except my MBA study and my sleeping time though I can't sleep well because there are more than thousands of followers ask for the help and by helping them the times pass out and working on PHP coding, setting up the blog , checking the server performance and other necessary works so in total per day I am active for 8 hours .

Interview: The Inspiring blogger Pradeep kumar Founder and Ceo of slashsquare and hellbound bloggers

Hello everyone today we have with us Pradeep Kumar CEO and FOUNDER of Slashsquare and Hellbound bloggers. I think name is enough to introduce him. He is very famous in the blogging world. He really helps the newbie bloggers. He is a blogger, Internet Marketer, Striving, Entrepreneur and Proud Indian.
Design and Edit by Rohan karmakar

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. :)

10 : Quick ones

Robert Downey Jr or Chris evan?

Team Iron Man!

Cricket or football?

Not really a big fan of Sports, but I do admire sporting personalities.

Jitendra vaswani or Neil patel?

Jitendra. He's a passionate hustling guy.

Rahul Rakesh the co-founder of socialvani.com and Esmeenetwork.com today he will share his blogging strategy

Today we have The co-founder of socialvani.com and Esmeenetwork.com Rahul Rakesh. 





Tell me about your self?

I am a blogger, writer and a business person. I am the co-founder of ESMEE network PVT. Ltd. which runs blogs like SocialVani.com and HowToFightObesity.com. I also professionally consult firms and digital marketers on online content creation and viral content marketing. I am a freelancer by nature and strongly believe in the ideology of living a life of total independence!

What Is your blogging and seo strategy?

I have a very strong content strategy involving content creation and content publishing. I believe strong and relevant content is 80% job done. However, I do attribute the secondary importance to SEO which it deserves. But yes, strong powerful content across any niche which solves search queries by adding value for the readers will always work.
When did you start blogging professionally ?

I started blogging professionally on a content platform: Hubpages.com. I started earning passively from it after being active for 6 months. It was based on organic content and manual effort marketing.

Did you have any expectations (short term, long term, financially) when you started blogging ? If so, what were those expectations ?
NO! I didn't even exactly know what Google Adsense or Amazon Affiliate were at that point of time. I have been a writer all my life. I first published an article in the 3rd grade for my city-wide magazine.So, I just wanted a channel where I could write about my experiences and my learning. It picked up from there. The money came as a by-product of the value I offered. I did not plan on making money!!

Do you think that there is such a thing as whitehat link building ?
Link Building is a very specific element of blog or digital marketing. Every different niche will allow for some unique link building strategy. Yet, you can easily differentiate between "WhiteHat" and "BlackHat". It is not rocket science. If the link building is genuine as in based on methods like blog commenting, reader engagement, organic social shares and engagement then its whitehat. Even paid marketing like Adwords and FB ads provide you with links. Thats also white hat, but somewhere in the grey area :P

How would you explain in your own words what blackhat SEO really is ?
In my own words.... hehe... all the stuff which you do online to promote your blog which shouldnt be done is blackhat. I dont know much about it and I dont like the concept. I like playing the long term game. I am not looking for hot money!

How would you rate your own blog on a scale of 1 to 10 and why would you rate it that way ?
I am not that active on the blogging scene. I mostly write what I like writing about and people read it. My blog is not business oriented. I have other operations which generate revenues. Therefore I would rate it 10/10 because it satisfies all my purposes.

I’ve heard the comment many times in professional circles online, that “it’s in the list”. What does that comment mean to you ?
If you could tell me, what's in the list, I could tell you something. Right the now the comment means insufficient information to me :P

How long does it really take on average for a blog to become successful online ?
Well, there is no one answer to that. If you talk about the math then there are a lot of variables involved. It mostly depends on the quality of your content and how you reach your target readers. But nowadays, Blogging has become fiercely competitive, so you have to rope in more variables like the traffic coming to your blog or the social influence it is generating.
I have seen blogs succeed in a matter of months, some succeed in the matter of years and some still trying to make a mark. The real deal is that you have to have a plan, work on it, maintain a persistent and patient approach and grow based on value and not on monetary expectations.

Page Rank used to be an important metric for many SEO's. Now SEO's and bloggers pay attention to domain authority and page authority. Do you think these metrics matter in the overall scheme of things in terms of outranking the competition ?
I never think metrics matter. Metrics only allow you to speculate and predict performace and cause of action. They can allow you to experiment but not be active accelerators in your blog growth. Its the effort you put in that matters. All metrics will automatically improve if you provide your readers with quality content and organic outreach programs. Metrics are good to analyse your performance. One shouldnt follow them blindly!

An awesome interview with neil patel, co-founder of Crazy Egg and Hello Bar

Neil Patel one of the most popular guy in bloggers world. He is the co-founder of Crazy Egg and Hello Bar.
Here's an interview where he shares his opinions and advices. Here he also answers a rapid fire round.Some answers are one of his kind of course. 


1: Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I am a digital marketer and entrepreneur who has been in the space for well over 10 years. I primarily deal in founding SaaS companies and helping companies grow traffic and revenue. 

2: How you first got involved in with blogging?

I first got started years ago, shortly after founding my first digital consulting agency. I was really intrigued by the ability to reach a large audience and help them learn the skills I had learned along the way.  
3: Are you a full time blogger? 

I would definitely be called what you would consider a full time blogger even though it isn't my main focus. I write throughout the week and am pretty meticulous in my approach to helping others out. 


4: What’s your strategy with your blog in general?

The way I approach writing is very topical. I used to write on a range of subjects but now I have narrowed it down to a number of key topics that resonate within the community. I think it's important to provide value first and foremost.  The way I figure what to write on is by using Buzzsumo.com to see what is resonating with my audience.


5:  What do you do when you aren’t working on your blog?

I focus on other entrepreneurial endeavors -- primarily growing my software company Crazy Egg and Hello Bar.



6: What’s the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?

Value -- I think answering questions you can't find answers to anywhere else is the true hallmark of a great marketer. It's important to provide value and focus on the things that matter.  


7:  What was the most challenging moment in your blog content development process and why?

Creating headlines is always a challenge. I try to find compelling headlines that really resonate with my target audience. I sometimes spend hours just thinking of a good headline. It doesn't matter how good your content is, if you can't get people to click your headlines, you won't succeed.


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.

I research thoroughly and find what type of content is popular in the marketing realm.  Another great way to find what topics to write about is to go on Quora and find questions that are popular -- then answer them. You can also use Buzzsumo as I discussed earlier.


9: How would (someone) describe your blogging style?

I write with a personal touch and try to touch on as many digital marketing topics as possible. I try to tie in personal experiences which makes the content unique.


10: If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?

Find something you are passionate about and start writing -- that's vital. You can only provide your best content if you have a passion for it. Once you have that, write in a conversational tone using the words "you" and "I". You should also ask a question at the end of your posts to increase the amount of comments you receive.
