Interview with Julie from “Wellness And Beyond”

“Wellness And Beyond”

http://www.wellnessandbeyond.net

I truly love it! I love the Internet and I have an entrepreneurial spirit. I feel I can communicate better through my blog than I can in person. I can focus on something I know well and I can share it with others. Blogging encourages me to keep my knowledge updated by constantly studying and learning about new trends.

I started a blog over a year ago and dropped it after little success. Later I became intrigued with other blogs and stumbled across some truly uplifting and successful blogs. I became addicted to studying how they achieved success and how they used blogs to help other people. Then I decided to give it another try with a new blog, which I started in August 2006.

My passion … wellness. Ways to prevent illnesses and maintain a healthy life.

Problogger.net is my mentor as well as Emoms At Home. Very inspiring!

Keep it up! It may feel for a long time that no one is reading your blog and you are talking to the wind. However, with time and a lot of effort, you will start getting some responses and you will meet some amazing people.

Most definitely. I try to reply to every comment. I think it is necessary in order to maintain a successful blog. It lets the reader know they are important and you care to hear their thoughts.

I usually blog from a comfy chair in my living room while the kids are at school. However, whenever I am out and about running errands, etc., I am constantly drafting the next blog post in my mind.

I probably spend six hours per day five days per week writing and reading blogs. I treat it like a full-time job.

I can’t recall. I heard the term a few years ago, but it wasn’t until two years ago that I actually realized what blogging was all about.

People who email or leave comments that they enjoy reading my blog. That alone inspires me to blog on a daily basis.
