His Profile page says “Rishi started his blogging career and will end it with WordPress.” That’s interesting and truly tells his passion for blogging.Lets talk to Rishi and hear what message he brings to us.

 

Ashish: What did spark the idea of Tech blogging to you ?

Rishi Says: I always had an interest in computers and technology and my encounter with internet in mid of 2006 made my knowledge in PC tweaking, web stuff etc.get a boost. I first started a blog on rishiraj.wordpress.com and started writing some registry play and about new software I installed on my PC and give it a short review. Then I saw people visiting my blog and then comments also started coming in and this gave me an idea to do tech blogging and let the young tech enthusiast inside my come out.

Ashish: How your blog helps readers to understand technology ?

Rishi Says:I basically blog on day-to-day life tech stuff which every common internet surfer can understand. I also try my best to make all my articles simple and neat so that any non-techie don’t find it hard.

Ashish: Which point you think is very crucial in Tech Blogging ?

Rishi Says: There are above 112,107 tech blogs on the internet as listed my Technorati. If anyone is tech blogging, he should be very crucial on the content he is writing should be different from all, he should not write what everyone else is writing. Moreover he should make out a blogging strategy before starting a tech blog if he wants to get best out it.

Ashish: Before making a post how you analyze it ?

Rishi Says: Before writing any article/post, I do a search over Technorati on the stuff I am going to blog on and if anyone else have written about it or if anyone has written, what does he think on the topic and what does his readers think ( through reader comments ). I do a full analyze over the topic and then write it.

Ashish: What kind of readers you are targeting ?

Rishi Says: Readers I am tracking are most bloggers and then non-techie people. I get most pageviews on my blogging related posts and then all tips & tricks posts.

Ashish: How you upgrade yourself with technology ?

Rishi Says: I track some 150+ blogs everyday through my feed reader and I don’t subscribe to all blog posts, I only subscribe to the category of the blog in which I am interested. I also have many Google Alerts on topics I want to track i.e. Technology updates.

Ashish: How you measure that readers have grown with your blog in terms of knowledge?

Rishi Says:Yes, I have observed that my readers are gaining knowledge through my blog as I am always on a regular IM contact with all my readers and have tracked that many of my non-techie readers got many ideas and knowledge from my blog which they usually tell me through instant messages.

Ashish: How you target new visitors to become a reader ?

Rishi Says: I mainly target to make a new visitor to a reader by providing him for what he was looking, fulfilling his requirements. And when he his search is fulfilled, I give them subscription options on my blog and a link to my feeds at end of every post.

Ashish: How you see your blog after 5 yrs ?

Rishi Says: Hmm, I am not good in imagining but I think after 5 years I will become good blogger and my blog will be a great stop for anyone searching for technology news, updates, tricks, tips, hacks, blogging tips etc. Lets see if it comes true or not … :)
