Interview with Dana Sibilsky (Art Blogger) : Journey of a Professional Blogger : eAskme |
Q. How the idea to make your own blog came in your mind? How you found the right people to develop it and what big obstacles you faced?
Ans:A long time ago, I realized my passion was the interest of other people's passions. In other words, I enjoyed seeing people pursue their passions and what they love, I enjoyed seeing people accomplish their goals. I realized art is the worldwide language to help people express themselves and their passion in a beautiful way—a way that could be understood by anyone no matter what language they spoke.

Over the lifespan of my art blog, I've come in contact with countless people which is my favorite part of blogging. I love getting an email saying how my blog has helped them tap into their passion through the use of art, then they can share my page and their passion through their social media. That's a win-win!
Q. Can blogging really change someone`s life?
Ans:I believe blogging is one of the many gateways of opportunity to a changed life, that is, of course, if you let it change your life. I've heard of so many stories of people who got into blogging about their life, their family or their interest and through the course of this little hobby that was blogging, it became a new work-from-home career.
Q. What are your favorite Internet marketing tools?
Ans: To my knowledge, I don't know of very many marketing tools. One tool I have recently discovered to show a great deal of information of any website is SEOquake. This tool is a plugin for Firefox and an extension for Google Chrome browser. SEOquake will show you the pagerank, traffic, links, keywords, link to domain and so much more. I'm still learning about it, so I don't have all the facts and information of how to use it. I do know, that a tool like this can be used to look up the keywords of your competition. If your competition has keywords, you can get an idea of what they are selling on. I would write that information down.
Q. What is your daily schedule? And how do you maintain your tasks?
Ans: I use the spreadsheet in Google Docs for all my information. I write down my list of things to do and what I want to accomplish with each task. This tool also helps me keep track of the time I spend on each individual task. It does wonders for keeping me focused.
Q. Blogging have different definition for different person. What is it for you?
Blogging is the same way. Through blogging, a person can have an outlet to express themselves, their interest, their dreams and what they want to accomplish. It can be purely for fantasy or even educational. The definition of blogging for me would be the literature of the things we love.
Q. Which are your favorite blogs?
Ans: I really like the nerdgirloffical and the-tusk. I like a wide range of blogs. I don't like to stick to one niche either. If that blog has something to say and its a topic I really enjoy it will instantly be on my list of favorites. But the-tusk and nergirlofficial are two of my top favorites.
Q. How much time do you spend on social media promotion and SEO of your blog?
Ans: Honestly with what little time I have between my family, I try to get to my blog and up the rankings as often as I can, but probably not often enough. If I were to give a rough estimate of time, I'd say I do so once a week for about 4 hours.
Q. How much time do you spend for blogging daily?
Ans: Whether I am writing in my blog or writing guest posts in someone else's blog, I would have to say I estimate the time I spend blogging every day to be up to 6 hours on average. Guest post would have to be my favorite because I get the opportunity to connect with more people and hopefully add value to them by spreading my wisdom and experience to them.
Q. Finally, I would love to have your message for my readers and any suggestions for newbies?
Ans: Readers: If you truly love the content you read. If it has helped you in anyway whatsoever or if you believe it would help someone else, please take the time to share it and comment because it helps a great deal with rankings. Not to forget to mention that it means that someone found our work enjoyable. We do countless hours of research and try our best to consider our audience. When we bloggers write, we are thinking about you.
