Blogger Head To Head Round 4; It’s The Kids, This Time
Not really I am a big fan of long titles but well the part 4 of the blogger head to head has already come. This time the kids teenagers will take the centerstage. Not only they are young kids, but they are young and competitive boys out there who are not afraid with jumping into the online world. Rajaie is a guy from Rajaietalks which I believe has taken his blog into the next level w/his killer posts as well as hardcore tactics to increase his backlinks and gain readers as well. Ganesh on the flipside, from Blogsmartly is as impressive. He’s been busy w/school now but his presence is always felt with his comments and useful insights.
Anyway enough with the praises from me and let’s jump to their interesting tack on things.
| Rajaie | Ganesh | |
|---|---|---|
| Describe yourself in less than 5 words? | Humble, Friendly, Adventurous, and Outgoing | studious kid with a taste for books and computers. |
| What is your favorite breakfast? | Some eggs, bacon, sausages,
and waffles. On normal days I like to have some |
Idly and Sambar (its the common breakfast in South India) |
| Why did you choose a saturated niche? | At the time I started blogging, I didn’t have the slightest clue of what a niche was! Hehe, but I could say that I chose this niche because I enjoy blogging about it |
There were so many blogs giving blogging tips. But most of them wrote and re-wrote the same old content. I wanted to start a blog that gave *smart* tips on how to blog. I wanted to write content which would really be useful to the readers. |
| Any story behind choosing that domain name? | To be honest, I actually forgot why I chose www.rajaietalks.com for my blog. I guess it had something to do with me just talking about anything I had in mind. |
I wanted a domain that instantly made it clear to the visitor that this wasn’t just any ordinary blog.  |
| How many uniques are you getting monthly? | It varies between every month. In September, I got over 60,000 uniques, but last month I got about 6,000+. |
Around 500. |
| How many hours do you spend with it? | I actually spend hours and hours a day online, but less than 2 hours blogging. I’ve been trying to focus on my blog mostly these past few weeks, but I always seem to be distracted by other things online. |
When I first started blogging, I used to spend long hours. Now, I usually spend 2-3 hours everyday blogging. |
| Do you read other blogs feeds? How many do you track? | Of course!  About fifteen or so, I try to keep it to a minimum so I don’tspend too much time reading other blogs instead of doing actual work. |
I don’t use the feed reader. I prefer receiving updates via email. I subscribe to around 10-15 blogs. |
| How do you split your time with school and blogging and being a son? | Ahhh, this is a hard one. I try my best to finish my studies and homework before surfing the Internet. But no matter how hard I try to finish early, it just seems as though there is never enough time on my hands! |
Ah! That’s a bit difficult. Since school and studies take up almost 12 hours daily, I usually spend 3 hours in the evenings and 1 hour in the morning for my blogs. As for my other activities like playing sports, games, reading, etc. I do them on weekends. |
| Any other ventures aside from blogging? | No, not the moment. But once I can figure out a schedule that will help me maintain my blog and keep up with life, I am planning on jumping into affiliate marketing, site flipping, and whatever else I seem to find interesting |
I’m currently exploring microblogging sites like twitter and plurk. I’m planning on building sites that aren’t as time-consuming as blogging. |
| What makes your blog unique from others? | It’s written by me | I really put a lot of work and planning into my posts, so I guess I write unique (and perhaps enjoyable) posts. And there’s also the fact that I’m 14 which creates some buzz around the blogosphere. |
| What’s the biggest goal for this blog? | To become one of the top “make money online” blogs that actually teaches its readers how to make money online |
I want to build up a large subscriber base and provide useful and top-notch content for all of my readers. That’s my biggest goal. |
| Give me a blog you admire and why? | Copyblogger. I simply love it because of the awesome style of writing Brian and the other authors have |
ProBlogger. Because Darren gives some of the best tips on blogging and his blog shows that it is possible to make a living out of blogging. His blog was a big inspiration for me to start Blog Smartly. |
