Blogging is Serious Business - India Mail Today

Featured in Mail Today, the daily newspaper / tabloid from the Indian Today group in their story "Blogging is Serious Business":

For Amit Agarwal, a veteran professional blogger and author of Digital Inspiration, content is the keyword. "First of all, you should love writing and then, you should have something to write about." Apart from content, Agarwal says, another thing that matters is consistency. "Readers should be attracted to come back to read your blog. If you write for two days, and the third day, you don’t have anything to share about, you won’t find too many takers for your blog."

Agarwal quit his job in 2004 to become India’s first professional blogger. All his income is through advertising revenue generated from the blog using programs like Google AdSense, BlogAds, Adify and FeedBurner. Blogging anywhere between 10 and 14 hours per day, Agarwal’s yearly revenue is now in six- figure US dollars."
