| Interview with Akshay Joshi (Web Designer & Founder of Web Designer Pad) : Journey of a Professional Blogger |
Q. How the idea to make your own blog came in your mind? How you found the right people to develop it and what big obstacles you faced?
Ans: I was actually interested in Web Designing while I was doing my graduation and I thought why not learn from someone who is currently working in an IT company.
Unfortunately no magic happened and I didn't found any professional
web designer until I did something different. Well I went to one of the
old IT companies in my local city [Jalgaon] and met a web designer and
asked him to if I can create websites for him for Free.
He didn't entertained me for the first time but when I met him the next time he said, "I can't just forward my work to you and you do it for Free, sorry" Well then I told him to just let me sit with him and see what he does and guess what he said YES! I saw him gather screenshots of different websites and then put them all in a editor online. Then I noticed that this editor is nothing but a blogger.com editor.
And I asked him about it as I couldn't control my curiosity. Well the guy told me everything he knew about blogging and how to get started with booking your own domain name and get free hosting from blogger.
I started my blog at just Rs. 119 and some paisa which I don't remember now. I got a free blogger theme and started writing articles on it.
The biggest obstacle was traffic and content creation. I learned and read a lot about content creation, blogging, generating traffic and monetizing the blog.
I also got rejected a couple of times from Adsense program because my blog was not a good fit for it.
