Blogger Interview Series - Jeremy Schoemaker

18 August, 2008 - Blogging, Interviews - 5 Comments

This is the third interview in my Blogger Interview Series. It comes from one of the Internet’s most famous faces, and indeed one of the blogosphere’s highest earners, Jeremy “Shoemoney” Schoemaker. With his subscriber base of over 17,000, Jeremy has made his name in the “Make Money Online” niche of the blogosphere, having become famous for many things, including the photograph of himself holding a cheque from Google Adsense for almost $133,000.

Interview With Jeremy Schoemaker.

Q. If, while running a new blog, you were allowed to promote your blog using just two methods, what would those two methods be and why?
“I would focus on writing good content and being active in communities. People get to know you and click they will follow your profiles to your blog/homepage where they will find your great content.”

Q. If you could write a guest post for any blog but were only allowed to write one guest post in your entire life, which blog would you write for and why?
“Probably Techcrunch. I love geek meets venture capital stuff plus having a 1million+ readership doesn’t hurt.”

Q. At the end of every talk I do, I include a “Random Trick to Tip” slide. This is one sentence of advice, usually entirely unrelated to the rest of the presentation. If you could give one sentence of advice to bloggers, what would that be?
“Just be honest. Share your failures as well as your successes.”

Q. Please give us a link to your favourite post on your blog. This doesn’t have to be your most popular post. Just the post which is your own favourite.
“I used to be FAT until I had A Duodenal Switch - It took a lot of courage for me to write that post and share some of my darker times in life.”

Thanks for taking the time to answer those questions, Jeremy.

I hope you enjoyed the interview with Jeremy and I hope you’re looking forward to what this little community of ours will be publishing in the near future. Please let us hear your thoughts in the comments.

Always interesting to hear what Shoemoney has to say, particularly in relation to your regular questions - good to hear that he believes in sharing his failures as well as successes as that’s where you can learn so much from!
