As i have learned by reading your blog regularly, one must pay regular attention in promoting articles of the blog apart from writing excellent posts along with building a strong community among bloggers. Monetising only using paid banners is also interesting.

(Really) a great interview and (definitely) a (very) beautiful site. I have already spent some time there after publishing the (best) article (ever).

Some people just have a knack for certain things. Jon makes it look so effortless and smooth, blogging and online marketing that is. Good stuff, Jon. I was one of the lost souls Jon helped within the BC community back a few months ago, he actually helped me with installing my flagship blog, Groovy Vegetarian.

I now know how to do it myself, and have learned so much since those first baby steps. I still have alot to learn, but regardless Jon is a really cool and helpful guy. I know much success is still coming his way.

Awesome interview!

Hi Ryan, well I was very active in the forums over at BlogCatalog and it really helped me connect with other bloggers (answer questions, network, helps some people out) it helped me get some traffic especially when I was working for them, not much traffic though, but the visitors are definitely more interested in my blog(s) than random people coming from Digg. I get quite a lot of private messages there too.

Hey Kris, yes that’s one of the goals, but the biggest part of my income comes from designing blogs and freelance writing, I don’t have a ‘day job’. FreelanceFolder simply gives me the exposure I need for my design and freelance writing services.

Jon, I’m curious how you use Blog Catalog – how has it helped you?

“I’m not interested in numbers and traffic that much, I want to meet people, chat with them and check out their blogs, whether they grab my rss feed or not.”

Great quote. It’s not about numbers. It’s about building real relationships with other bloggers.

Also, thanks for the Digg and StumbleUpon comparison. I didn’t realize the StumbleUpon leads to more RSS subs.

*scratches out Ittybiz and hands pen to Jon* You spelled this wrong. It’s J-C-M-E…

Very cool to see your interview up. While I normally skip these over, this is one interview I sat down to read. I value your blog and enjoy your style. Thanks to both of you for putting this one up!
