The WordPress Chick Grills Me About Blogging

On Wednesday, The WordPress Chick picked my brain with a fantastic hour long interview! I met Kim through my Best WordPress Design Contest as she became one of our fabulous nominees. When she requested an interview, I jumped on board as she and I share a deep passion for WordPress and blogging!

This was a really fun interview as there was no outline on my end. In fact, most of the questions she asked were ones I was not expecting. So, it was definitely an “off-the-cuff” and in-the-moment conversation. We discussed several important topics including:

  • How I Started off Using eBay
  • Starting an Internet Business with No Money
  • Starting an Internet Business with No Experience
  • How My Blog Has Evolved in 6 Months
  • What My Blog’s Timeline for Success Was
  • What My Intent with Launching My Blog Was
  • The Importance of an Engaged Audience and Targeted Traffic
  • The Specific Successes I’ve Had with My Blog
  • How I Got the Attention of Some Big Names
  • The Power of Online Relationships
  • What to Spend Your Time on When Launching a Blog
  • The Importance of My 5-Posts a Week Rule for a New Blog
  • The Power of Social Networks
  • Building an Email List
  • What I Do to Get Traffic to My Blog
  • How I Come up With Blog Post Topics
  • The Importance of Having a Passion for Your Business
  • Whether or Not You Should Give Away Free Information
  • A Realistic Timeline for Blogging Success
  • Where I Am Today vs. One Year Ago
  • Having Several Sources of Income

Whew! That’s a LOT of information. I want to invite all of you to check out this podcast, meet Kim and share the post with others if you find the interview helpful. Thanks Kim!

  • Hi Keller,

    I'm really looking forward to reading the interview! I ask your forgiveness if I am posting this comment in the wrong place, as I am a total newbie to this stuff, but since the title concerns WordPress, and I found your blog from the video you made about installing a WordPress blog on a website hosted by Network Solutions, I have a question:

    Do you have a video or some sort of written guide about how to import an existing WordPress blog into a Network Solutions-hosted website? when I followed the steps in the video, it looked like what I ended up with was an entirely new blog that was somehow connected to my website without appearing on the actual website. (Now that I think of it, I could have posted this comment to the "Blogging Blues" article, as the technology part of blogging just totally 'blues' me out...maybe I'll write a song about this!) I have a website for my band that is hosted by Network Solutions, and I just started a blog on WordPress, so I am hoping there is a reasonably straightforward way to get my WP blog to automatically appear on my "main" website when I publish it to WP, or is that asking for the moon?

    Many thanks again,

    Brenda K

    Thank you Kim and Keller,

    As I listen to your interview it reinforced the fact that I need to write more on my blogs. I guess I have spread myself too thin in the early stages with multiple blogs while trying to complete my book. But this is a great motivator for me to get off my butt and work more.

    Thank you,

    Tyrone

    Hi Keller, it must have been a wonderful interview.
  • Great Interview, really agree and like the part about not doing it alone. So much power in connecting and helping each other.
  • I always love listening to your interviews. Each time I hear your story I learn something new that makes me stop and think.

    I'm very interested to see what this new social networking site is going to be. I am looking forward to the official announcement.

    I would love to hear you talk about setting up your stores. Perhaps some video posts as you set up your new store next year? I think it would be a killer series.

    Great interview. Thanks for sharing just a little but more with us.
  • Thank you so much Brad! I'm excited to announce the social network, but I still have a lot of work to put in first. Getting there...

    As for my next ecommerce store, I definitely plan to record and write about the process. I should start on that store in January!

    "...as *her and I* share a deep passion for WordPress and blogging!"

    Holy bad grammar, Batman!! Yikes.

    (Correct: as she and I share a deep passion....)
  • You're absolutely right - thanks for the heads up!
  • Very nice to know more about you Keller, I am listening now to your interview audio
