Who do you look up to?
The media entrepreneur side of me looks up to great media professionals like Rupert Murdoch, Mark Cuban, and Ted Turner while the online business side of me looks up to people like Kevin Rose and Ben Lang.
In what ways do you build traffic to your blog?
I find that the best way to build traffic is through Twitter.
I absolutely love the power of Twitter because it is able to bring interested people to your site rather quickly. I also grow traffic by carefully writing my content, post/page titles, and keywords.
What are some of your passions?
One thing I’m passionate about is learning. I am always researching business, marketing, and media concepts.
I also love being with my family because they keep me inspired.
How often do you blog?
I believe in teen entrepreneurs and I want to give back to them by writing about what I know.
Right now I blog about every other week but my goal is to start blogging twice per week on both of my blogs.
How can social media be used in a more powerful way?
I think social media can be more effective when you engage the readers. Just like you would in an advertisement, include a call to action. Ask your followers what they think or encourage them to comment with their ideas.
What can a blogger do to be better?
Bloggers need to come up with more creative and unique content. People are looking for interesting and though-provoking articles, not just the same old normal ones.
How do you find happiness?
Whether it’s spending time with my family or reading up on business topics, I find happiness by doing the things I love.
