Interview with George Serradinho – Famous Bloggers Club
I have posted yesterday about the Famous Bloggers Club and announced that I will be doing interviews with the club members. So.. Here we go.. This is my first interview with George Serradinho the founder of Serradinho.com who like to write about Blogging News, Blogging tips & tricks and WordPress.
George: I would first like to say that I’m honored and grateful to be interviewed by you, Hesham, and to be apart of this ‘Famous Bloggers Club’. This means the world to me and others and is a step in the right direction.
Hesham: Thank you George for this nice introduction, I belive that interviewing you will be so exciting, so let’s start with our interview questions to know more about you and your blog story.
Q. Tell the world something about your self and what you do in life?
George: Well, my name is George Serradinho and I was born and raised in the beautiful country of South Africa. I come from a family of six with 2 brothers and only one sister, thank God for that J I currently work in the IT department for a huge telecommunications company as a contractor and just love it. @gfserradinho, LinkedIn
Q. What was the story behind your Blog?
George: The domain Serradinho.com has been registered since January 2006, but I only started blogging in August of 2007.
As some of you might know, my domain name Serradinho.com, is actually my surname. When I initially started my blog, it was to be for personal blogging whereby I could express my thoughts and opinions like millions of others on the net.
As my blog has evolved over time, I have branched out to try and help others as much as possible by supplying tips and tricks on different topics, but still posting on personal experiences.
I also wanted to give something back to the internet community, so I created a free pixel website whereby users can add an image and link to their website or product at no charge. The site can be found at Serradinho Free Pixels, go ahead and get your pixels today!
Q. Have you earned any money from been a Blogger? (How you did it)
George: I have not earned thousands like many other bloggers, but my earnings have been increasing over time and I’m very happy with the results. Bloggers need to try out many programs until they find what works for them.
There are:
- I recently moved over to Thesis theme and have been promoting it like crazy. There are so many customizations which one could do and it’s simple.
- Google adsense which is very simple to use and install on one’s website.
- Direct advertising on my site. I created a simple page on my site whereby one can purchase the desired ad directly from me like a blogroll link, text link, banners, reviews, etc.
Q. Would you tell us about ONE of your famous posts? (Why you think it’s famous)
George: I don’t really have any famous post, but I would rather like to tell you about one of my pages on Serradinho.com that is fast becoming a great hit.
This page is my way of saying thanks to all those who have inspired or helped me along the way, it’s also a way for me giving to give back to the community. My Downloads page has hundreds and hundreds of free downloads ranging from ebooks, PLR articles, images and graphics and then WordPress. As of answering these questions, my total download hits are standing at over 55,000 and still rises every day.
Q. If I asked you to suggest ONE Blogger friend to send him/her a Famous Blogger Club invitation, who you will suggest?
George: This is tough as I you have asked for one blogger, but I would like to suggest 2 bloggers that have really made a huge difference to me and hundreds of other bloggers.
Their content is outstanding and many would benefit from reading their sites or maybe even subscribing to their RSS feeds.They are:
- Deneil Merritt from www.deneilmerritt.com
- Harsh Agrawal from www.shoutmeloud.com

Nice interview (:

I find myself curious about his story with his domain. His domain rested for more than a year before he finally have the guts to start his own blog. I wonder how many people are just like him.
The problem with Private label rights articles or reviews is that people do not put it to use properly. They should either make use of it to build suggestions for subject matter to write about or perhaps thoroughly re-write it or spin and rewrite it up and then place his or her own brand onto it.
I love your blog – super work!
I like how he answer all of the questions. Straight to the point, but make a clear discussion. The contents too are something that could inspire us to dream more to achieve more.
