FAQs
Let us clear some things first
DO I WORK FOR FREE?
You already know the answer to this one. But let me just repeat that for you. The answer is a big NO. Why, you may ask?
Let me make it a little simpler for you. I have a highly demanding day job. After this demanding day job, I come home most days and then work on my blog till 2AM-3AM. So you do understand the amount of work that has gone in setting up and getting the blog to where it is now. After all this effort, if someone asks you to work free, how would you feel? So let us not demean the value of me and my blog by asking me to work for free.

BLOG STATISTICS
BLOG ↗
I love my blog and I get my highest number of followers/readers from this channel every month. Most of my traffic is from Google organic search. I also know to run ads.
INSTAGRAM ↗
I have a love and hate relationship with Instagram. I love sharing my photos and stories on Instagram but I hate the fact that it is so difficult to grow on this platform.
FACEBOOK ↗
Facebook is definitely one of my favorite social media platforms even though it is not my strongest. I love it for the fact that it helps make so many meaningful connections.
Pinterest ↗
Pinterest is the strongest social media channel when it comes to followers in my case. I get a steady flow of traffic from Pinterest every month and I love it.
TWITTER ↗
I have been active on Twitter for more than 10 years now. I still tweet regularly but I am very selective when it comes to using this social media channel.
YOUTUBE ↗
I have a tiny youtube channel and I am not very regular when it comes to uploading videos on a frequent basis. Hopefully, this year, all of it will change.
