1 Here we
have creative blogger who blogs at MakingDifferent and he is a par time
blogging and he is none other than Nithin Maheta. You can get his total
interview here.
1) 1)Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Ans) Myself Nitin Maheta, a common man from a
small town, Rajkot but with great vision. Though what I am doing right now for
my livelihood is too different than that of my vision. I am presently working
as a manger in one of the leading garment store in Rajkot but along with
maintaining diverse customers I behold a passion for blogging too. You could
educate yourself with this passion of mine by visiting makingdifferent.com.
This is not the end but just a small step towards fulfilling my dream. Surely it
is molding my passion towards success.
2) When you were first introduced to
the blogging?
Ans) to be very frank blogging was never planned by me and I just
adapted it as a pastime almost 5 years back. I never knew that my passion will
shift me to a vast world packed with fun and knowledge. The more I learn every
day, I realize much is left to explore. Before 5 years the term SEO or even
blogging was completely unknown to me. Alike the fates of all new bloggers, my
blogs were posted at bloggers.com, which is termed as ideal place for freshers.
Hardships were yet to come! Via some automated classification system errors my entire
blogs were deleted from there. This was really beyond expectation and broke my
passion for it and finally decided to quit this field. It was my hard work and
time that was dedicated in writing 400 posts and the great effort that was
required in gaining huge traffic from them. All swept away in a fraction of
second, and my hard work went to zero. “No pain, no gain” and suddenly arrived
Mr. Bhavesh Sondagar, founder of ehowportal.com and showed me another way out.
He advised me to switch to WordPress and start a blog. Honestly this foray was
completely new to me but with his aid, I moved forward. In his hosting he
installed a blog of mine too. Now the term WordPress was no more alien to me
and finally I was a proud owner of my own hosting.
3) Which blogging platform do you use?
Ans) what could be my answer except WordPress! WordPress is the
only platform that has guided me and helped me in regaining my lost interest
and passion for blogging. I guess it is the best destination for all those who
want to start their career as blogger.
4) How did your Blogging journey start?
Ans) it’s almost 5 years that I am part of blogging. I started my
journey with blog on BlogSpot platform. I have also registered a domain name
now for my own blog and you will be happy to learn that now my blog is enjoying
a rank of fewer than 33K in the Global Alexa ranking.
5) Every website has a back story behind it. Tell us story of
example.com. What motivated you to start it?
Ans) as I mentioned earlier it was just a passion and I undertook
it as a hobby. I had no idea that it will occupy such a center stage in my life
and contribute handsomely to my income also.
6) What networking do you do that you feel helps your online business?
Ans) earning traffic and maintaining network could be done easily
if you are writing consistently. Along with quantity you also need to maintain
the quality of the content so that it leaves a great impact upon the readers. I
also place images and share my links in all popular networking sites including
Facebook, Gmail etc. I have also enrolled in SEO as it directly helps me in
gaining traffic. Commenting is another tool to earn online business. In certain
case backlinks and tagging also helps a lot.
6) What’s next for you, are you working on any projects or
products we should be looking forward to? Give us the behind the scenes
exclusive – something you haven’t announced yet anywhere else!
Ans) as such there is nothing right now, but surely I am planning
for something new and innovative related to internet marketing. Finger crossed!
Hope you get the good news soon!
7) If there was one thing that you wish you knew
before you started the site, what would that be?
Ans) earlier I was copying the content of some bloggers due to
which the ranking of my site was seeing downfall on Google and in Alexa. Now
when I have the known the fact that one should not copypaste the content but
rather provide original in order to earn good ranking I feel I should have
known this earlier.
8) Tell us few apps/services that you are using these days. (for
example: Mailchimp, GetClicky, Buysellads, Magazine, etc,)
Ans) I would say Google Adsense is enough to
fulfill any of my needs for educating myself with any information.
9) Your words for the newbie’s-
Ans)
Quality is the only formula that will earn you fame in this field. Remember the
niche for which you are working and maintain the dignity of that niche. Your
regular skill and innovative work can lead you towards success.
