Marko Saric the Famous Blogger of How to Make My Blog
Famous Bloggers Club has a great chance to interview Marko Saric of How to Make My Blog, an intelligent and so much friendly guy that I have learned a lot of things from him about blogging, specially these awesome tips about Thesis theme, so let’s enjoy what Marko says in our interview with him.
Q. Tell the world something about yourself and what you do in life?
Marko: My name is Marko Saric, I am a blogger and I live in London, England. I write about blogging, helping out bloggers create their blogs, optimize them and make them successful.
I blog at How to Make My Blog and you can get in touch with me at Twitter @HowToMakeMyBlog and Facebook.
Q. What was the story behind your Blog? (how you start Blogging – since when – how did you named your Blog).
Marko: I have been creating and marketing websites since 1998. At university I specialized in interactive and e-marketing, which turned me onto blogs and social media. Then I transferred my old HTML sites into WordPress blogs in 2006 and that gave me insight into how blogs are run. That is how I got the passion to start HowToMakeMyBlog in late 2008.
When naming the blog I was thinking about keywords that people put when searching for topic like this and how to make a blog, make a blog, how to blog where some of the important keyword phrases.
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)
Marko: Yes, I try to monetize my blog with affiliate links mostly. I use Godaddy as a host so I recommend them, same with Thesis theme. These 2 affiliate programs are where majority of my revenue comes from. I try to write valuable articles and in that way promote affiliates. For example in the how to install WordPress post I have links to Godaddy and in several of how to customize WordPress design posts I have links to Thesis.
I have an article about How I earned $1000+ in blog revenue last month.
Q. Would you tell us about ONE of your famous posts? (Why you think it’s famous.. it could be because of “content – traffic – comments – search engines”)
Marko: My most popular post in terms of page views and buzz is “Top 18 most downloaded WordPress plugins ever” . People love these kinds of posts. It is a top list post, easy to read, easy to scan, not much text, lots of bullet points, very useful, people love to share posts like these. And the best part of all, these posts are fairly easy to write compared to more detailed guides.
Q. If I asked you to suggest ONE Blogger friend to send him/her a Famous Blogger Club invitation, who you will suggest?
Marko: Speaking of Famous Bloggers, there is a celebrity blogger called Murray Newlands, he actually ranks very close to top on Google for keyword phrases like famous blogger and celebrity blogger. He is perfect for the club invitation. Find him at Murray Newlands.
