Blazing Minds

Welcome to another interview in my of blogger interviews series, as mentioned before each week I will be interviewing a fellow blogger who has kindly answered my blogging questions, so let’s get on with it…

Q: Please tell my readers a little something about yourself?
A: First of all thank you for the wonderful opportunity to introduce myself to the blazingminds readers. Hello folks, myself Ricky Shah from India. I am a student cum part time blogger who loves to write about latest technology news, mobile applications, iPhone applications, mobile modding, social networking and lot more… Check out my blog at http://techgenuine.com

Q: Hi Ricky, so tell me about your blog, when and why you started it and how you came up with the name for it?
A: There is an interesting story behind my blog name. When I was on blogger blog I copied an article from one of the famous blogger and I got caught for that (silly me). I felt really bad at that time and I decided to provide genuine stuff on my blog. Later I joined budding bloggers group and I chose the name “TechGenuine” which says that all of the articles are genuine and original. I started blogging long back (in july 2008) but started professionally from 25th April 2009.

Q: Do you find blogging takes up a lot of your time?
A: Well, I know blogging is really time consuming and addictive process. I spent almost 4-5 hours daily for blogging. But it is worth spending as I came to know many good bloggers and buzz across the blogosphere.

Q: Where would you say most of your traffic comes from for your blog?
A: My answer is Google god Google is the best source of traffic for me. Apart from that I get traffic from facebook and twitter as well.

Q: Do you use social networks to promote your blog and if so which ones would you recommend to other bloggers?
A: Without social network it is impossible to survive in blogosphere. I recommend to use twitter, facebook, blogengage, blogcatalog to all the blogger. You can also try digg and stumble upon but if you don’t have enough time then the above networks will do fine for you.

Q: If you could give some useful advice to new bloggers, what would it be?
A: I would like to say that understand the blogosphere. It is hard to survive in this Internet world. Have patience and faith in your self. Keep working hard and you will see the result in few months. Before start blogging spend some time to analyze the blogging process, be prepare to spend some quality time on social networking sites and other networks apart from your blog.

Thanks Ricky.
