Alex Fraiser Telling the Story of Blogussion at Famous Bloggers interviews
Today I will introduce to you Alex Fraiser, one of two brilliant guys was behind the Blogussion, Alex is going to tell us about how they started Blogussion blog and what’s his famous posts, so plz welcome our new member of Famous Bloggers Club and enjoy the interview with him.
Q. Tell the world something about yourself and what you do in life?
Alex: Yo! I’m Alex. I am a 16 year old guy who lives in New Jersey. As much as I love to blog, I like plenty of other things as well!
I’m an avid ping pong player as well as a huge New England Patriots football fan. Every once in a while, I will go along with some buddies of mine and go camping out in the woods. I do enjoy the outdoors, and I like it so much that one of the reasons for me buying a laptop was just so I can sit outside and blog.
If you want to chat with me more personally, hit up my Twitter account: @AlexFraiser
Q. What was the story behind your Blog? (how you start Blogging – since when, and how did you named your Blog).
Alex: It was the dawn of the new year, 2009 and I had just gotten interested in blogging and designing. I wanted to start up my first blog in about six months, so I did just that. I called it ‘Kolakube‘ and it was all about blogging. The name has absolutely no definition to it, it just sounded really brandable, so I went with it.
A couple days later, someone who had a blog a little bigger than mine approached me and talked of merging his blog with mine. His name was Janith, and he wanted to have a blogging partner who could be there when he couldn’t. We talked for a little while, and we decided to merge our two blogs. The result is what you all read and enjoy every day – Blogussion!
Unfortunately, Janith has left the blog. But, all is fine in the world of Blogussion today as we are growing faster than ever.
Q. Have you earned any money from been a Blogger? (How you did it, add links to useful websites for making money online, If NOT then tell us why you blog)
Alex: I make money directly from my blog through affiliate sales, and at one time – selling ads. But, neither brought in very great results. I have made the decision to drop banner ads entirely and now we are looking at new ways to bring in some blogging dough.
Q. Would you tell us about ONE of your famous posts?
Alex: People really seem to like when I talk about customizing the Thesis theme, so I would have to say it’s out most famous post. It still brings in a lot of comments and steady traffic. If you type in some combination of “customize Thesis”, you will find that article. It’s just brought in so many positive results to the blog that I would have to say it’s the most famous for sure.
Q. If I asked you to suggest ONE Blogger friend to send him/her a Famous Blogger Club invitation, who you will suggest?
Alex: If you haven’t already, I know Marko Saric from HowToMakemyBlog would fit in perfectly.

It’s amazing that Alex hasn’t been blogging that long, yet he has managed to build such a rich reputation…I envy you Alex. Your decision of doing away with ads altogether was a very brave move, which proves that you’re setting trends and not following them…I can see a very bright future for you young man, you’re way too mature for your age…
