| 1- How long have you been blogging? | For about 5 months now. |
I just started writing my own articles about a month ago. I used to copy articles from other websites three years ago. |
| 2- How many hours per day do you dedicate to the blog? | Since my posts are actually the cartoons themselves, I dedicate about 5 hours on each cartoon. | All depends on the idea that I am working on. But usually I’m always thinking of an idea for a post. |
| 3- Has it been worth it so far? | It’s definitely worth it. The reaction I’ve been getting from everyone has been overwhelming. | Yes I like it a lot. |
| 4- How many page views does your blog get daily? | Since I only post the cartoons about twice per week, my answer would be around 500 to 600 views per post. | All depends on the post created, and the way I market it using SEO |
| 5- How many blogs do you have or write for currently? |
One blog,http://inkontheside.com |
I’m new in this , currently I write for mine , however I used to write in forums a lot. |
| 6- How many hours do you dedicate to them every day? | About an hour each day. | |
| 7- Do you think one needs to post daily to be successful? | I think the content should speak for itself and not the number of posts. | No, it all depends on the content. But I do like to get to time where I have the ability to write daily. |
| 8- Is there an ideal posting frequency? | Ideally I would love to post 3 times per week but it’s hard finding enough time to do them! | No, when I have something significant to write. I get eager to write it asap. |
| 9- What is the biggest blogging mistake you did? | Changing the theme of my blog and forgetting to add the subscribe widgets among other things. | When I first started my old blog I used to copy from other websites. |
|
10- What is the biggest mistake you see in blog designs? |
Adding too many widgets on the right side of the blog. It draws your eye away from the content. | The lack of social networking buttons, mainly a twitter or Facebook button |
| 11- Twitter is a distraction or a good promotional tool? | I think it’s a little of both. It would be great to have enough discipline not to get distracted by it. | Twitter is my biggest promotional tool. But can be a distraction when I have a big issue to finish at work. |
| 12- Do you think that any professional should have a blog? |
Not necessarily. It depends on your profession and what you would like to showcase on your site. Then again, your
blog could be something totally unrelated to your profession! You could be a software developer but your blog could be about photography, or cartoons in my case 
|
Yes, this keeps a track of all achievements professional get to. |
| 13- If you could give an advice for a novice blogger, what would it be? | Making sure that the design of the blog does not compromise the content. | Find your niche and start blogging if you can’t afford your own website, there are plenty of free blogging spaces. |
| 14- What is the secret of your success, expressed in one word? | It’s too soon to know! But if you know what the secret is, PLEASE TELL ME! | Friends |
| 15- If you could write a post on any blog in the world, which one would you pick? | I’m still new to the world of blogging but I am seeing a lot of great Lebanese bloggers out there. HummusNation for one. Mind Soup is also a great blog as well. | http://lifehacker.com/ |
