As promised it’s time for another interview. I am glad that most of the bloggers I have asked for an interview have been very helpful. Learning from them on what they did to make their blog successful is a great way to achieve success for new bloggers.

I had a chance to interview Skellie from Skelliewag.org. Skelliewag is a blog about blogging and if you haven’t checked it out you are missing out on a whole lot.

Without wasting any time, let’s get right to the interview, here is Skellie from Skelliewag

I am just curious as to why skelliewag.org and not .com or .net? As it seems everybody shoots for the .com and .net first?

Skellie: I decided to use the .org extension after visiting GetRichSlowly.org. I thought it was a strange choice for a personal finance site, but there was something nice about it — it made the blog seem a little warmer and more community oriented. I decided to use it on my own blog for that reason.

I also think it’s a little more unique than the other options.

How long have you been blogging?

Skellie: I’ve been blogging as an idle hobby for a few years — maybe four years, but I have a terrible memory for that sort of thing. Skelliewag.org is my first personal effort at creating a popular blog, but I’ve been analyzing other blogs and websites for years.

What was your main motivation that drove you to blogging?

Skellie: I’ve always loved creating content for blogs and websites. I’ve dabbled in quite a few niches. After a while, I realized that the act of creating a blog, working out how to grow it, working out how to find new readers, was what I enjoyed more than the particular niche I might be working in. That’s when I decided I needed to start a blog about blogging! [Read more →]

I have been wanting to get couple interviews lined up for the readers at Work N Play. Since then I have emailed some influential and successful bloggers, some replied and were kind enough to take some time out of their busy schedule for an interview and others have yet to reply.

For the next couple weeks you will find one interview post ( each week ) on this blog with a successful blogger. This will allow me and you to know the blogger better and learn from them as they share some advice and suggestion as to what we should do to succeed in blogging.

Today’s interview is with Ian from Ianfernando.com.

Let’s get right to the interview,

Most of us already know about you and your blog and ventures. But for Work N Play readers who might not know you, could you please give them a brief introduction?

Ian: No Problem. My name is Ian Fernando and I have been on the internet for quite sometime. I started making money from the internet when I first started making a Pokemon website, back in high school. (Ancients Years Ago) I was always in to web design and made multitudes of websites on angelfire and geocities. It was just recently when I started to get into blogging and it makes sense to me since I can track and speak what I had on my mind about a specific topic. [Read more →]
