When did blogging captivate your mind, making you fall in love with it?<\/h3>\n<p>I started my first blog during my School days. It was not something I planned and did. It interested me all of a sudden. It appeared\u00a0quite cool to me when I realized that I have a platform to write something and share with others. Slowly I understood that it is more than writing something and publishing. I have a platform to share quality information with people from all over the world who read my blog posts. And that was the time from where I started taking blogging seriously.<\/p>\n<h3>2 &#8211; Tell us about Slashsquare and HBB? When and how did you start them?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Slashsquare<\/strong> is my company and I started it during my college days. Being an Indian Blog Network, it\u2019s also a <strong>Web<\/strong> <strong>Consulting Media platform<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.hellboundbloggers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">HellBound Bloggers (HBB)<\/a> and <strong>HBB Forum<\/strong> are a part of the blog network. <strong>HBB<\/strong> is my first official blog. \u00a0I randomly created it because I just wanted to have my own blog. Thereafter, I realized that I couldn&#8217;t write on all the topics I love, under<strong> HBB<\/strong> alone so I wanted to have another blog. I started a blog called\u00a0 &#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/moviesdrop.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">moviesdrop.com<\/a>&#8220;, a blog purely dedicated to every stuff related to movies. Thereafter, I decided to form a network of Indian blogs and therefore, I launched <strong>Slashsquare.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_351135\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-351135\" style=\"width: 899px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?ssl=1\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"351135\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/sstory-slashsquare-hbb-pradeep-kumar\/img_20170826_185532\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?fit=526%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"526,299\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Pradeep Kumar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?fit=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?fit=526%2C299&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-351135\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?resize=899%2C511&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SLASHSQAURE biggest platform\" width=\"899\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?resize=899%2C511&#038;ssl=1 526w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26185742\/IMG_20170826_185532.png?resize=899%2C511&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-351135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slashsquare &#8211; Founder and CEO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>3 &#8211; What are the total number of blogs you have written till date? What are your Weekly\/Monthly targets that you keep up with?<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a particular count at the moment, but at present, while I\u2019m typing this, I\u2019m sure I would have written more than <strong>1000<\/strong> articles for <strong>Slashsquare blog network<\/strong> and other sources. I don\u2019t set any weekly or monthly targets but I have two sets: 1) <strong>The topics I love<\/strong> and 2) <strong>The topics which are trending\/popular<\/strong>. I\u2019ll focus on both and brainstorm the strategies to get more traffic.<\/p>\n<h3>4 &#8211; As a successful blogger, what are the major areas wherein a blogger should always focus to bring in the maximum traffic?<\/h3>\n<p>There are several ways to get traffic, but the actual question, is it Relevant? Good quality? Targeted? I would suggest them to focus on two sources: SEO and Social Media. For SEO, you need to build your website with quality content, back links, and enough authority. Once you become an established or standard website, you can easily rank on Google and get substantial traffic. This is the permanent and most reliable one. Apart from this, you can write articles for Social Media, yes, writing exclusively for them. If you take a look at Facebook or Twitter, it\u2019s a great platform, but if you are going to write an article like \u201c20+ Best Android Battery Tips\u201d and share that on Social Media, I&#8217;m not sure how many folks will care to click on that and read. Whereas, if you tweak that a little bit and make that as \u201cHere is a simple trick to boost your Android battery life,\u201d then trust me, your traffic will be at least doubled or even tripled. It\u2019s all about experiments and reaches. Increase your friends, followers and social media (online) circle.<\/p>\n<h3>5 &#8211; We usually come through articles delivering a large number of ideas for successful blogging. What&#8217;s your funda of success that helped you set such high standards in this field?<\/h3>\n<p>The term \u2018success\u2019 is pretty complicated in blogging field, I don&#8217;t know how I should describe my progress in this area. Is this because of a regular income per month, is it because of the authority, is it because of the social circle or is it because of this interview? The only success I can think of is \u2018satisfaction,&#8217; if you are happy with what you are doing, if you are comfortable with the results, then I guess you are a successful person.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_351137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-351137\" style=\"width: 748px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?ssl=1\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-attachment-id=\"351137\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/sstory-slashsquare-hbb-pradeep-kumar\/img_20170804_2347261\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?fit=543%2C406&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"543,406\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Pradeep Kumar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?fit=300%2C224&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?fit=543%2C406&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-351137\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"BUILDING CREATING BLOGGER SLASHSQUARE HBB\" width=\"748\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1 543w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1 74w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1 111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/26190057\/IMG_20170804_2347261.png?resize=748%2C559&#038;ssl=1 215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-351137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The team of SlashSquare with the founder himself<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>Also read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/prashaant-ranganathanintel-isef-winner-scientist-story-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;OMG!

Why do you prefer them over others?<\/h3>\n<p>I use tools majorly for Social Media and SEO. For Social Media, I use Buffer, Tweetbot, and Bitly. For SEO, I use all the Google tools, Ah Refs, SEMrush and Moz Pro. I don\u2019t use all of them regularly, I just use some of them whenever necessary. All these are very good, but they are too expensive for moderate users, so you can sign up for a trial version and see if you really find them beneficial.<\/p>\n<h3>7 &#8211; When you started, what were the marketing \/ promotion \/ branding strategies followed to uplift your works and reach out to the larger audiences? Any new ideas\/tricks that you would like to share with us?<\/h3>\n<p>I would like to go back, like, go back to the Orkut days. I remember starting a community called \u201cHelp With PCs\u201d (I didn\u2019t even have a PC back then) on Orkut and started a blog around it. So I was mostly updating about USB Tricks, Pen drives, Web cams etc. I was very childish back then. I didn\u2019t have a PC, yet I browsed everything online and gave them solutions. I slowly realized, this is what a community is about, even if you don\u2019t know the answer, you shouldn\u2019t give up, you need to make them happy and satisfied. After a few months, Facebook happened and rest is history. I created a group for HBB on Facebook; I didn\u2019t add anyone because I always thought I\u2019m not ready for this. But slowly my friends gave request and they supported me by asking questions etc. We had ten members, then 100, after a while it was 1000, now we have like 10k+ members. I don&#8217;t know, if I can say this is a marketing or promotion or even branding strategy, but this is community power which helped me to network with 10k+ folks who are aware of HBB &#8211; HellBound Bloggers.<\/p>\n<h3>8 &#8211; What are the most efficient monetization methods you found out and have used till now?<\/h3>\n<p>There are three effective methods which worked for us; they are AdSense, Affiliates, and Sponsored Posts. Google AdSense is not for everyone, we get plenty of queries related to these, they keep on asking how to get AdSense approval and stuff, but man, without traffic you can\u2019t do anything with your AdSense account, you just have to refresh the page again and again without any change. Affiliates (or Affiliate Marketing) is good, but you need targeted traffic for this. If you are writing about \u201c10 Best Travel Accessories\u201d and if you are getting good organic traffic, then you can easily convert them into sales. Last but not least, we have the \u201cSponsored Posts\u201d method. So your advertiser won\u2019t actually see your brand value or traffic much, if he\/she needs a backlink from your website, then they see your site\u2019s authority (in the form of DA, a score out of 100). If it\u2019s good enough, then you can make some enough money out of it. When I said \u2018Sponsored,&#8217; people often think it\u2019s a biased post, but, nope, it\u2019s just a post for which we are getting paid, nothing else, nothing changes.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a09 &#8211; Tell us about your struggles in this journey so far?
