It’s been a long time since I did the last question and answer here in this blog and I also noticed that bloggers (midcaps and A+) have already forgotten about doing this (or just lost interest). Anyway, since the next 3-4 days is our exams I believe this is the best time to do it. 🙂

So fire away your questions now and at the end I’ll pick two of the best questions. They will get a free 125X125 ($10) and text link ($5) for one month on this site. Deal?

Answers On Q and A And Some Things To Say

by Melvin · Dec 7, 2008

So these past days (including now), I’ve been into bed as I was suffering from pulmonary diseases and fever and flu which makes me indisposed. By the way these are last months top commentators(3) which will receive a free month long link to this site:

Ajith Eddasery
ZK
Ganesh

For the questions and assholes which i nearly forgot, here they are:

Harish:

Here is my question

Is Affiliate Marketing the only way you make money,If not what are the other ways you make money??

Melvin: No. I do make money from this blog as well and also on my basketball blog. Before I used to try a lot of making money strategies but now I focus more on affiliate marketing.

Ajith Eddasery: Question: Do you think stuffing ‘hot’ keywords (like the one here :lol:) in blog post titles would really help?

Melvin: I don’t really know but I think it helps! 🙂 I never really planned that “asshole” word but then I was just typing and it came to my mind. But anyway, w/regards to titles I think it helps because it baits people to actually read the post.

Royle: The New York Knicks has traded its two best player this season, what are your thoughts about it?

Melvin: Seriously, at first its a dickhead trade for me. I mean the Knicks started 6-3 and they all of a sudden traded their two top performing players. I know its for long term plan but then they could’ve just waited for the latter part of the season before pulling the trigger. Now they are 7-9 so it definitely hurted them this season but will surely benefit them on future.

ZK: what is a saleable category or niche for affilliate marketing

Melvin: Anything outside internet marketing! I mean you see guys like shoemoney make a lot w/ringtones. Some do exceptional w/adult niche. I do well w/dating and some email submits. It really depends I think and it also depends on the events like for example the election last month.

Pradeep: How do you address a situation,where in you are a blogger and your girlfriend hates blogging

Melvin: I seriously do not know. If I have a gf that hates blogging then I will surely hate my gf like she hates blogging! 🙂

Farrhad: How much impact does a blog’s design have on you?
Is blogging your main source of income? How much do you earn per month?
How important is networking for a blog’s success?

Melvin: Design is always an important factor. My blogs design isn;t superb but I feel it manages to stand out because of its refreshing look. No, not my main income. I make 3 figures per month and it fluctuates like crazy. networking is important just as like how every business needs it

Desmondblog: My name is Desmond and that’s why I chose to name my blog at DesmondBlog.com. Did you pick the domain name “MelvinBlog.com” the same way as I do?

Melvin: Well, I believe melvinblog was born earlier than desmondblog (you were holding grademoney.com then, if im not wrong). Anyway yes is the answer. I always want to rank no.1 for the term melvin. 🙂

JR: How much thought and time did you put into thinking up the title of this post? LMAO, best one I’ve seen in a while.

Melvin: Like what Ive said, I just put it in because it is what came into my mind. I always write stuffs spontaneously so thats why. 😉

Blog For Beginners: When I started thoushallblog.com, your name is pretty famous around the blogosphere but you’ve been really quite as of late, any particular reason for that?

Yan

Melvin: Im not really famous! Its because of school probably thats why I have to devote lesser time with blogging. Gotta prioritize things and do what weighs heavier.

That’s it. I believe Farrhad and ZK got the best question and you will get a month long 125X125 ad on my site for free! Just send me the image and the link at melvin@ (my domain). Again, I needed to take time to recover from a sickness so I may stop posting for the mean time. On my next post I would also like to talk about the “rumors” that this blog is for sale or wtf! Watch out! 😉

Answers On The First Q and A

by Melvin · Sep 18, 2008

Hi guys, I just thought the question and answer went well. I received a lot of personal questions and some of the questions really had made me think. So here are my response to your craps. 😉

Royle: What is the thing that you’re doing online/offline that makes you the most money?

Melvin: Obviously affiliate marketing is the answer. I was doing affiliate since January and I have drastically learned a lot. The poker niche made well for me. I think during February I made $180 in 15 days before it went down as the offer got penetrated well by other marketers. The dating niche, though is what I love the most.

Moolahking: I’m so sorry if my question a bit sarcastic. “Do you think you will be live long enough to see the world become worst?”

Melvin: Yes! Right now I can see it and I am scared and we should! People killing each other for some trivial things. Selfish Government. People risking their own lives just to do a worthless suicide bombing. Hell! I can’t imagine this world when I became 50

Rajaie Alkorani:

Could I please ask you a question?

Seriously, what do you prefer? Building a few large websites generating a high revenue, or building tons of mini websites with small revenue?

Which do you think is more profitable (in regards to the above question)

Melvin: Of course anyone wants a large project but sometimes for me I just couldn’t afford it! Large sites imposes larger risks as they have to be well funded. I always go with mini sites. If it doesn’t work, you can just drop it and you’ll not lose much

Stratosg: i will be a bit more personal… does blogging (or online presence in general) make you loose your sociality? do you have friends? which are the best ones? online or offline?

Melvin: Honestly it’s surprising that one thing I have learned online is better communication. Before I am not a social person. I mean I have a lot of friends but then its just that I dont always want to associate wiht people. Well blogging doesn’t made me lose my friends, in fact it has grown up because my offline friends were still my friends and some blogging perks have pretty much became close to me even though I haven’t met them. The best, still are offline friends and I can say everyone would agree. 😉

Gel: Is it hard to “negotiate” with other websites when it comes to advertising and stuff? How do you draw a crowd (I mean visitors) here in your site? Which is easier? Making money online or offline (if you tried).

Melvin: Its not. Actually companies are very RECEPTIVE with what youre offering w/them as they dont put so many question marks on you. I mean my blog isn’t big and ranking superbly but I know I have earned more than some blogs who have better readership. Visitors? Actually tons of ways and it varies. But it’s just all about creativity! 🙂

Static: Why not themelvingblog.com? Your title is The Melvin Blog anyways

Melvin: because my name is Melvin and not Melving.

Wess Stewart: What motivates you to blog? What made you want to blog in the first place?

Melvin: First is the pleasure of being read. I think that alone is something I can always be proud of. And second of course money!

Jeba: Why you think we should read your blog ? what makes in unique ??

Melvin: Basically to learn from my experiences. Btw, the blog has never been a niche blog I can say as its more of a personal blog wherein I have photos with my friends and so. Thats unique!

Trixie: Hi friend, What’s harder, school or what you’re doing here? Explain your answer!

Melvin: Definitely school! And I’m not just talking about studies. Im talking about dwelling with depressions and stress with traveling from house to school, waking up early, managing your time, seeing your crush and a lot more. By far, offline is harder.

Badboy23: What is the most know site on the internet that everyone comes back to even though they got kicked off it before?

Melvin: I don’t have an idea! I don’t know, maybe its not an easy question after all!

Zappoint: Ok, Here is the question: Do you have a gun? Why/WHY not? Thanks for the oppurtunity

Melvin: I don’t have simply because I am too young. And i think its expensive

Oliver Carding: I have a question for you Melvin.
Have you ever kissed a girl ?
If so did you like it ?

Melvin: wtf! 😉 Of course I kiss every beautiful girl I see my mom at the cheeks. But well, for other people not yet. I never had any relationships in the past and am always commited keeping myself single until I earn $10K a month. 😉

Bingu: Do you like/love ads?

Melvin: I do love ads. I click a lot of adsense ads and its just like they provide info to users. Now if the site has ton of ads then you dont hate the ads, you hate the site.

Andy: hi
have you ever riden a harly like you stole it??
andy

Melvin: I have never.

So I never really wanted to be mainstream, but I think this is the best way to go if you’re heading back on a busy week. Fire your questions away and the best question, not not really, but one that I like the most will get $10 on his/her paypal account.

Questions can literally be everything, if I don’t feel to answer the question then I will not answer the question… 😉
