I’m a full time blogger. Apart from BloggersPassion.com, I’m also offering blog promotion and seo services. Recently I started a seo consulting website at Seobricks.com.

We need to give at least 6 months of time to a blog before expecting anything big in return from it. But most bloggers give up within few days as they were expecting to get rich over night. One cannot become rich overnight with blogging. If you are starting a blog, give it some time to grow and keep on doing hard work. Soon things will turn your way.

18 > What is the biggest blogging mistake you have done ?

Here is the list of some of blogging mistakes that I would like to share:

– I relied too heavily on free blogger blogs in the first 2-3 years of my blogging career. I think I wasted lots of my valuable time there. I should have moved to a self hosting blog much earlier.
– I was not building email list from my blogs for a long time. Recently only I started building email list from my blogs.
– I was also not testing which banner on my blog is giving me maximum conversions. But recently I started keeping track of that thing    as well.

19 > What are your future plans for BloggersPassion ?

I want to keep working on this blog and want to achieve a good name for me in the blogging niche through this blog. I am aiming at producing better researched contents around the terms of blogging niche.

With modern SEO concepts, you will be able to make your blog readers as well happy.
