Let’s get started.

Q1. First of all, introduce yourself to my lovely Question Blogging community?

First of all, I would like to say thanks to Nishant for inviting me to his blog. Here is a short introduction about me.

Myself Archana Tiwari, a blogger, affiliate marketer at Bloggingtry.com – Here, I consistently share my blogging experience so that beginners can also start their online journey without making any common mistakes.

Hostingframe.com –  Here, I share my honest review of various hosting service providers in detail so that anyone can grab the best hosting service as per their needs and budgets.

Apart from that, I have several more blogs (5+) on various Topics and Micro Niches. I know you may be curious to know them but pardon me because I can’t share them due to competitive reasons.

Q2. I have seen a lot of new female bloggers rising. Can you tell me your blogging story and what challenges female bloggers face in this blogosphere?

Ya, many female bloggers in the blogging world are making their visibility online. Some of them are my good friends like Shubha Tiwari, Meghana Mourya, Raksha Kumawat, Jyoti Chouhan, and many more.

Being a female, especially when you are married, It is very challenging to make your exposure on the internet. You have many issues like domestic work, lack of time, not much interaction with social media friends, and much more that can’t be described in words.

But if you are serious about your dream, then nothing can stop you from being a professional. One and the only thing which will make you lazy is your passion.

About my challenge- I am a housewife and mother of two children studying, and my husband works in a company. So it is very difficult for me to save time and schedule workflow.

However, I quickly finish my work and dedicate my free time to blogging. My husband is also a part-time blogger and helps me a lot to complete blogging tasks.

Q3. Can you tell me your full blog writing process, from keyword research to blog editing and more?

Nowadays, writing a blog has become super easy!! Do you know how??

Let me explain,

There are tons of tools available in the market that make your blogging work (topic & keywords research, Preparing outline, SEO optimization, Proofreading, Plagiarism Check, Competitive Analysis, and much more) exciting.

But there is a condition- You need to learn skills, basics of blogging, and proper uses of those tools. Then only you can achieve your goals.

Because blogging doesn’t mean you have started writing as you want to write. Blogging requires a lot of research that will enable you to produce quality content that attracts & engages your audience for the long term.

I also use many tools as and when required for doing keywords research to blog published.

Here are the simple steps that I follow-

These are the most common and crucial steps which every blogger needs to follow. Apart from that, you can add your process that would make your job easy.

Q4. Backlinks are super important for Google rankings. Can you tell me some ways in which you are making backlinks for your blog?

You are right. Backlinks are fantastical elements to make trust in search engines’ eyes. At the same time, we can’t deny that “Content is Always King”.

Deliver valuable content (targeting high search volume and low difficulty keywords) better than your competitors. You can get a better search ranking even if you have zero backlinks.

However, it would be best if you create some high-quality backlinks that give an extra boost to your website ranking quickly.

Especially for beginners, it is quite challenging. Do you know why?

Here are some essential points that help you to drive traffic and generate sales for you.

These are some crucial points that make you successful in the blogging journey. Apart from that, you may try your strategy at your convenience. But remember one thing, there is no shortcut in that.

Q6. Archana, mam, you have opened a guest posting for your blog. Can you tell the reason and its pros and cons?

Yes! I am accepting guest posts on my site if the contributor follows terms and conditions for guest post submission.

Accepting guest posts on your site can be beneficial for you in various terms.

It’s like a give-and-take process where contributors get quality backlinks, and you will get one quality article free of cost.

Remember, blogging is all about your passion and interest. If you have these two things, you can make decent money to live your life boss-free.

However, you have to put your extra time into it. You can take the example of Navin Rao, Santanu Debnath, Chayan Chakrabarti, and many more, who are making a significant amount of money while blogging part-time.

Q8. As a housewife, it is really difficult to manage blogging. Can you tell your daily schedule like how much time you give to blogging, networking, social media, etc.?

Yes, you are right being a housewife, it is tough to effectively manage time for blogging, promotion, and social media.

Though, I can manage 4 to 6 hours daily for my passion. As I have said earlier, I have several blogs, so in that case, I have divided the entire month (two days for each blog) for every blog on a priority basis.

On completion of my last blog, I gave two days for social media handle & blog promotion.

I kept half a day (from two days) for topic research, keyword research, and blog outline preparation.

This is all about my blogging timeline.

Hahaha,

I am not a networking queen; however, I always try to make a good and long relationship with social media friends.

You can also do the same. You just need to find the expert in our niche, follow them, and join their community.

Give respect & value to them first and then expect support from them. It is a win-win situation for both.

Q13. Archana mam, can you tell me about your future projects? Where do you see yourself in the next 3 to 5 years in this blogosphere?

Well, I have no such big plans, but I have set a goal to launch some products like eBooks, courses, publish more content, etc, in the upcoming days.

I wanted to make this blog a one-stop solution for every new blogger who can take full advantage of establishing their blog without making a common mistake.

I don’t have big ambitions but surely want to be a successful blogger in the next 3 to 5 years.

Q14. Mam can you please give some motivation to my readers who are struggling to make a mark online. Also for motivation can you show us some of your income proof?

Sure,

I wanted to share one thing, you should never lose your hope with your audience because blogging is not an overnight millionaire scheme.

It would be best to work hard, learn the blogging basics & related skills, etc, to improve your performance gradually.

Be consistent & focused on your timeline to maximize your productivity.

So, Explore – Observe – Learn – Implement and repeat until you start getting positive results.

Along with that, if you have come into the blogging world for only making money, then, believe me, you have chosen the wrong path.

In the Blogging field, your “motivation should not be the Money” instead it should be to make yourself perfect in what you are doing.

You may have probably heard this line “Kabil Bano, Kamyabi Jhak Maar Ke Paas Aayegi.”

I hope you have got enough motivation and you don’t need income proof anymore.

Q15. Some testimonials and suggestions for my Question Blogging?

Why not,

Nishant, you are doing a fabulous job on your blog and consistently delivering informative content. Keep it up.

At the initial stage, you must focus on providing valuable content and keep on learning more skills to boost your blog performance.

One more critical point is never to compromise with the content quality. Keep balance while creating backlinks (nofollow & dofollow) for your blog. It should be better than your competitor and 100% unique.

Because “Content is Always a King”

Nishant is an emerging blogger who consistently provides high-quality content on his blog. He is continuously growing towards his goal. If you are a beginner, then you must follow him to get some motivation.
