This is the second interview of the series and this time I present you Shankar Ganesh. Most of us know about him but for those who don’t know, they can find out more about him and find out that what are the secrets of his blogging :
1. Would you like to introduce yourself to our readers first?
I’m Shankar Ganesh from Tamil Nadu, and I’m doing my 11 Std. I love reading tech stuff, and I hope to pursue a career in computer technology. That’s all I can say about me :D
2. Tell us more about your blog: when & how you came into blogging ?
Well, I actually started blogging at Blogspot around December 2006 and then switched to a new domain at shankarganesh.com around April this year. I was reading many blogs then, and I just thought of starting one. I started writing initially on my web 2.0 sites and others on my blog, and now I cover a wider range of topics.
3. What are your goals for your blog & what benefits do you see in blogging ?
Regarding goals: I expect to get a very wide reader base at least by the end of this year. And also some decent money ;)
Benefits are quite a lot – like, you get to know about different people around, you get to know about more things etc.
4. What sets you apart from other blogs ?
The thing that sets my blog apart from other ones is that I don’t write the same stories again – about those that get featured on other major blogs like TechCrunch and others. Earlier, I used to do that. Now, I don’t, that much. I’m now interested only in providing some good tips to my readers on many technology and blogging related topics.
5. Do you have any suggestions for other bloggers or any success secret, which you’d like to share with us ?
Yep! Here’s what I can say : It all doesn’t happen overnight, use WordPress + Self hosted domain if you aspire to be a pro, and write on things you’re passionate about. Before starting a blog, plan out the topics you’re going to write about perfectly. As a beginner, you mustn’t expect too much money from your blog. Just blog and be happy. ‘Things’ will happen as days, or even months go by :D
6. Is there anything else, which you’d like to share with our readers ?
Yeah, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who’ve given their feedback on my blog, and those bloggers who always took their time to render their support to me. All those people who helped me when I needed any.
Thanks, all.
I wish Shankar best of luck for everything you take up in your life and I hope that you people liked the interview.
