merkal2005: Hi Mike, please tell us about yourself. Who are you? :)

wildfxp: My name is Mike Huang and I'm currently a student at East Los Angeles College in Southern California. My wife, Michelle La, and I are currently attending the same school and we're just average teenagers trying to make the best of our young lives.


merkal2005: When did you start blogging? Do you make money out of your current blog?

wildfxp: We started blogging in November 2007, which wasn't that long ago. We were lucky that once we launched, Bloggin-Ads became a big hit within a few months. There are so many blogs now that it is very difficult to get off your feet.

Bloggin-Ads actually doesn't not condone the topic of making money online, but of course that doesn't stop us from making money from different sites (still under construction). We believe that making money through blogging is just an overkill these days. Everyone is trying to do it, but it's all being scattered and done wrong. This is the main reason why Bloggin-Ads does not charge for a blog review.


merkal2005: Your new blog design looks pretty good. Do you think customized blog design made a big difference? How was the reaction of your fellow readers?

wildfxp: The new custom design I received after just a few months of blogging with a free theme surely did bring in a lot of new hits. We believe that a custom unique theme is something a blogger needs if he/she wishes to grow. Of course there are exceptions, but it's just like seeing good food and bad food. The best reactions would go towards the good food while the bad food receives no attention at all.


merkal2005: What are your 2008 goals in terms of blogging?

wildfxp: Our goals for 2008 is basically to continue growing and getting noticed by bigger bloggers. We always mention that there are so many blogs that it is difficult to get noticed, but we're slowly getting there. We also wish to change the way that blog reviews are going :)


merkal2005: Do you have any suggestions to newcomers? Which areas should they focus in 2008?

wildfxp: Our suggestions to newcomers is basically to be honest and be yourself. We had to learn the hard way after almost 8 months of blogging that trying to be professional and educated was a mistake. Being yourself is what readers look for. Focusing on the content and mistakes will definitely turn a blogger into a "BLOGGER".
