I am glad and honored to have Garry Conn as my first interview candidate on Pei Profit Dot Com. It was held on Google’s very own instant messenger, Google Talk. Garry is an authority figure in the money blogging world and he was willing to share his experience with us here on Pei Profit Dot Com, so be sure to grab whatever you can! I really had an enjoyable time working and talking to him, catching the amiable side of him which most of you won’t realise from his blog GarryConn.com

Before we go into the beef of the interview, here’s a personal video introduction from Garry himself.

Ben: I have read on your blog that you make quite a bit of money from adsense. Is it still a good money making platform these days?

garryconn: Sure it is. Google AdSense is one of the most easiest ways to make money online. It is a perfect program for new beginners who want to get their feet wet with starting a career with making money online.

Ben: I noticed you make money from ClickBank too. What will be your recommendations for my readers to start making money from Clickbank?

garryconn: ClickBank is an excellent company to do business with. They have thousands of amazing digital products available for people to promote and sell. Like any program that involves selling products or services, it is very important for the marketer to know the product being sold. Not only that, but to believe in the product being sold. On my personal blog, I often explain to my readers that it is important to act as if you own the product being sold. In order to find success with selling ClickBank products, you need to be familiar with the products you want to sell. Secondly, you need to target the right audience. Thirdly, when it comes to promoting products on a blog with a subscriber base, it is very important that you run a very balanced and healthy blog; meaning, your blog shouldn’t be always be perceived as a place that constantly sells. The author of the blog should provide amazing and quality information to the subscribers and then sell products that enhance the advice, tips and tricks being offered.

Ben: I have been a regular follower of GarryConn.com and I notice that you update your blog daily, sometimes 2-3 times even. Where do you get your inspirations from?

garryconn: I see a blog story in everything. Writing comes very natural to me. My inspirations come from just having a good perception of understanding what people want to read. Also…

One of the more important inspirations is understanding how much people need help. There are many reasons why people want to make money online. For some people, learning how to earn money on the Internet can improve their quality of life. That inspires and fuels me with energy to write on my blog. I have passion for helping people because when I help people in return it helps me.

Ben: Do you believe in blog commenting and forum participation as forms of marketing technique for your blog?

garryconn: For sure. I also believe in participating in instant messenger interviews such as the one you are conducting. Spreading the word about what I do and where I do it is vital towards the success of my blog. While I myself don’t participate in a lot of forums, I do comment on a few blogs from time to time. Social networking has been a large focus of mine lately as well as online videos and even streaming a live video feed on my blog. Another focus of mine is continuing to build my mailing list. I have a private mailing list and it is used to provide subscribers with exclusive content that never gets published on the blog.

Ben: Oh you mentioned Video Blogging! The last time I made a post about Vlogging, my readers got excited about it. Would you like to share with them what benefit has vlogging brought you Garry?

garryconn: Many people, including myself, absorb information better when it is communicated vocally or visually rather than written. When I provide my readers with videos it enables me to connect with people who typically don’t have time or the desire to read long articles. Often my video tutorials provide live examples, meaning when people watch the videos it’s as if they were standing over me watching what I do on the computer. Video blogging provides a mutual benefit for both myself as well as my readers because ultimately it allows us to make an enhanced connection together.

Ben: Twitter was the first place where I got in touch with you and I appreciate your follow back. What makes you follow or unfollow someone on Twitter?

garryconn: I am torn with what I should do with Twitter. I have almost 1400 people following me yet I only follow less than 200. For me, Twitter is a lot like FaceBook and I really only want to follow the people that I truly know, or at a minimum, want to get to know better. There are people who follow everyone that follows them, but I tried that and it made my timeline way too busy, which caused me to lose touch with the people that are truly important or interesting to me. So to answer your question as asked, I follow people who I either know or who interest me.

Ben: I see that you have a section on ‘Blogs I Like To Read’. What does it take to get listed there?

garryconn: I think that is pretty self explanatory… In order for your blog to be included in that section of my blogroll, it has to be a blog that I like to read.

Ben: Haha Silly Me! Now here’s my final question for my readers, if you were to give your best advice to make money blogging in one sentence, what would it be?

garryconn: I can’t answer that in one, so I will give you two:

Here is #1: Ask yourself, “What am I good at and what do I enjoy?” And then ask yourself, “How can I take these two elements and shape them into something profitable online?”

And #2 I want to invite you and your readers to read the full story behind that quote here: Sometimes The Way To Make Money Online Isn’t What You Expect
