 I want to say to all your readers that blogging is not walking in a park You will get good and bad times .You will get achievement in the event that you do diligent work . I  don’t like people who start blogging for a cause like they blog for some days and then stop blogging just because they don’t get money and traffic ! why I mean why. You should Focus on your content rather than focusing on your traffic ! So My advice to new bloggers is like don’t quit if you don’t get traffic ! Start posting some quality stuffs and you will get a decent amount of traffic . Remember This quote of mine You Should Blog to Express , Not To Impress! … Even I started from zero ! Take a step forward everyday and you will reach your destination ! You cant achieve anything in this world without dedication ! And One more thing don’t get into some cheat sites claiming you will get 1000sof $$$$ They can cheat you ! So my advice is to stay out of this or you may land up into in some big problem ! so don’t be a victim of online fraud or cheat … it will tempt you but don’t do it ! You should be punctual in your work .Make a task list of your day’s work and work accordingly . Plan for the best . Hope for the best . Don’t get upset if you are unsuccessful  in driving traffic. Try hard and you will get your success on your foots . Don’t be sad . I Hope Best wishes to new bloggers and god favor them  with everything their needs !

12. What would you prioritize? Content? SEO? Traffic? Readers?

That’s a tough question indeed.I would prioritize everything,because every element you listed plays an important role in every different field,so if I pick up just SEO,that wont make any sense because if you just do SEO without writing useful content then there would be no readers or traffic .So I guess you should work on every element effectively

13. Whats the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?

Content,useful content.And even honesty and motivation .

14. A lot of people are interested in blogging/writing for the money earning potential. What are some tips for people interesting in making money from blogging/writing? What are some realistic expectations in regards to what can be made?

As I said in question #11 ,Don’t blog for money. If you come in blogosphere with the potential to earn easy money ,then you would go home disappointed ,PS Personal experience .I will share my story here.I came into blogging field to earn money,some people said it is the way to earn easy money ,just create a website,show ads and you will earn 1000$ I was very much interested ,did this but didn’t earned for first 11 months.Then started focusing on onpage seo ,quality content and then I was able to drive traffic and making money , you will get money if you work hard and there is no one in this world who will give u $$$$ without doing anything . So You will earn but it will take time,and in the mean time if you don’t money ,don’t quit blogging.

15. What motivates you most in life?

My failures. If I fail then only it makes me work more harder ,thus it motivates me a lot .
