An interview with Garry Conn!

Hello guys!

Yesterday I interviewed one of the biggest bloggers around, Garry Conn. Garry Conn.com is a blog that helps you make money online. I can’t even believe I got a chance to interview him, as he is very popular. Anyways, here are the questions that I asked, and the answers that I got:

Klajdi Hena:

When did you start Blogging?

Garry Conn:

I started blogging early in 2005.

Klajdi Hena:

How passionate are you about blogging?

Garry Conn:

I am very passionate about blogging. It is my job and I love it. It is the best job in the world. It is a job that I
can’t wait to start in the morning and find myself having trouble quitting at the end of the day.

Klajdi Hena:

What got you started in this money making and blogging field?

Garry Conn:

Well, I got started with building blogs that made money online because I really didn’t enjoy my full time job making eyeglasses for a living. I have kids and my job made it difficult to do the things I wanted to do with them such as taking them to sports and activities after school. Working for myself, I am able to set my own scheduled and never have to worry about trying to get “approved days off” from work.

Klajdi Hena:

Do you think you are on the same level as other big bloggers, like Jeremy Schoemaker, Darren Rowse, Zac Johnson, and John Chow?

Garry Conn:

You can’t really look at it in that way. Jeremy, Darren, Zac and John all have their own unique skill sets. Also, they have their own objectives. They are all very gifted and talented individuals and I personally have a lot of respect for them. However, I can’t say that anyone, including myself, are at or below or even above a certain “level”. I can tell you that I am very good at what I do and I put a lot of my heart and intelligence into what I do and I think that I am extermely unique with the business I have built.

Klajdi Hena:

What are a couple of the blogs that you read daily?

Garry Conn:

Because of the nature of my business, it is important for me to stay in tune with the companies that I do business with. With that said, I read Google’s official blog quite often and I read Google’s AdSense blog. Additionally, I read Matt Cutt’s personal blog as well as quite a few other blogs that provide content related to search engines such as the Search Engine Journal and the blog I am a hired freelance writer for, SeoHosting.com. read the blogs of my personal friends such as Christine Senter, Mark Mason and quite a few others. I’ll admit that I keep quite busy and don’t have too much time to do extra reading. The blogs I do read and follow are mainly to keep my education optimized.  Granted, I keep track of things that are going on and read many of my fellow make money online bloggers such as ShoeMoney.com, JohnChow.com and even JohnCow.com. I frequenly visit Mark’s 45n5.com/top100 as well to see how many of my friends are ranking within the community. All the sites are found on this page:

Klajdi Hena:

Looking at all the big bloggers, and I consider you one of them, they all have this great design, and you’re the only one who has a simple WordPress theme designed by you. Don’t you think that hurts your blog, or do you think that it’s the content that matters, and not the look?

Garry Conn:

I don’t think my design hurts me. There are many very successful and respected bloggers such as Andy Beard for example who have very simple blog designs. My friend Joel Comm has mentioned to me many times that I should hire a designer to design my blog and in many ways I agree with him. However, I do enjoy on the surface they might not be pretty or attractive, but they are very well coded and extremely search engine friendly. It is no surprise that over 80% of my traffic comes directly from search engines.

Klajdi Hena:

If you could give an advice to all the new bloggers, what would it be?

Garry Conn:

I give advice to new bloggers on a daily basis. However, to summarize things here, I can tell you that it is very important to be creative and unique. Never try to cheat any system and always have your heart and intelligence into your work.There are many ways to make money online. I make money online by building multiple blogs that target niche topics. I monetize my blogs using Google AdSense. I focus on a high
of blogs, each having a low volume of natural and organic traffic.For me, I have found that it is much easier to maintain multiple blogs that get a very low amount of traffic compared to running one big SUPER BLOG with a lot of traffic.

Klajdi Hena:

And finally, what are your plans in the future?

Garry Conn:

To overtake and rewrite the Internet. lol

I build around 5 new blogs a day. I have at this moment 12 freelance writers who produce around 100 articles per day. My plans for the future are to seriously have a result pull up for just about anything you could humanly type into a search engine.Of course that will never happen, but the more blogs I build the more of a change that I will have a listing that pulls up in the search results. The more this happens the more money I make. I have a very strong love for money and I really enjoy making it. I can never make too much money and the people who tell you that money doesn’t bring happiness are broke. :)When I say I want to overtake and rewrite the Internet, I know that would never happen. But if you want a glimpse into my mentaility… that is how aggressive and forward motion I am. I am a very hard and smart worker.

That’s all ladies and gentlemen. I know, some of you might not believe that I got the chance to interview Garry Conn. I couldn’t believe it either. So, what do you guys think about this?
