Blogger Interview: Dan Norris from Web Domination Launches Inform.ly

51 Comments / Blogger Interviews, Tech / /

In 2006 Dan Norris started a web design company because he was bored with the corporate world (after 4 whole years!). He worked on that business for 6 years with a lot of ups and downs and in 2012 decided to sell it and move on to Inform.ly. While in his last business he built up his blog to a point where it was ranking number 1 in Australia for ‘website design’ and a lot of other big keywords and at that point he got a bit addicted to producing content.

Increase Engagement and Build Relationships with Blog Interviews

121 Comments / Blogger Interviews, Blogging Tutorials / /

I hope you’ve had the chance to read some of the blog interviews I’ve conducted here on Basic Blog Tips. Interviews are like a hybrid blog post – on one hand it’s like a guest post, but on the other hand, not really because the interviewer picks the topic. The reason we all enjoy blog interviews so much is because they are a great example of those successful collaborations I’m so in favor of, and the “engagement” that we all seek to have on our blogs is pretty much built in by nature.

Be sure however, that what you are planning to create content on is something you are 100% passionate about and TRULY would do even if there were no financial reasons…continue reading…
