Interview with EmpererAnton
I’ve decided to start posting some interviews with interesting bloggers from time to time, hopefully we can all benefit from their combined expertise.
The first interview is with a blogger named Adam Donkus. Adam Donkus, AKA EmpererAnton, is a Father, Teacher, Entrepreneur, and Blogger who is also interested in Technology, Business, and Blogging. He has been blogging for quite a while now, that makes him more of an expert than me.
EmperorAnton: My name is Adam Donkus and currently I work in the Search Engine Optimization field.
Currently my hobbies are limited to spending time with my kids, traveling with my wife and sometimes children. I also enjoy watching my son play hockey for the Reading Junior Royals.
Quite a bit of free time is spent online blogging.
Simon: What was your first reaction when you discovered blogging?
EmperorAnton: I thought of different blogs that I wanted to start.
Simon: How long have you been blogging?
EmperorAnton: I have been blogging for well over two years.
Simon: What would you say is the most important factor in any blog?
EmperorAnton: How the blog develops and encourages others to read and participate in order to grow a sense of community.
Simon: All of us want to make money online, what would you say is the best method for doing this?
EmperorAnton: I have made a nice living out of providing services to those who want to sell online or those who want to develop an online presence in order to assist an off line business.
But there are so many ways to make money online, I don’t believe that there is any one best method.
However, I do love the methods that create passive income.
Simon: Do you prefer more traffic, or more feed subscribers?
EmperorAnton: I prefer feed subscribers, but traffic that is targeted and not random is beauteous as well.
Simon: Why is that?
EmperorAnton: Feed subscribers tend to be regular readers. Traffic could be one time hits that come from a search engine or from sites like Stumbleupon that see a page once never to return.
Once someone has subscribed, they will return over and over again hopefully. Return business/readers is what blogging is about.
Simon: In one sentence, what is your advice to bloggers that are just starting out?
EmperorAnton: Don’t listen to me.lol I certainly don’t know everything, and have a lot to learn about blogging.
There are some really great new bloggers out there that have the ability to write with a voice that moves people. That is a gift that brings return readers.
When writing try to develop your voice, be unique and readers will come.
In the words of Nike,just do it. Just write.
