As promised before, here is the first interview of a successful blogger. This celebrity gossip blog has been the number one blog in our top blogs list for ever in terms of traffic and is being subscribed by more and more people everyday via feedburner.

Without further a due, let me introduce you to the hard working blogger behind Celebrity Body Gossip : The 26 year old Anna. Her blog features latest gossip about celebrity body i.e. who lost and who gained weights. Here is the full interview with Anna exclusive on BOT Blog.

1. Tell us about yourself and your blog

I’m a 26-year-old girl that’s as obsessed with celebrities as anyone else these days.

My blog Celebrity Body Gossip mainly focuses on celebrity weights and diets, but I also post about celebrity fashion, pregnancies, celeb couples, and other interesting Hollywood news.

2. When did you start blogging and what/who inspired you?

I started blogging in November 2006. My initial reason for starting a blog was to have a place where I could collect my favorite celebrity pictures.

My main inspiration are the celebrity diet articles found in various magazines.

3. How many hours a week do you dedicate to your blog?

I spend at least 6 hours every day gathering celebrity news and pictures and posting them to my blog. I also spend one or two more hours networking with other bloggers and trying to promote my blog. So that would be at least 56 hours a week.

4. Do you advertise your blog? If yes, how /where?

I never paid anything to advertise my blog, but I try to promote it by exchanging links with other celebrity bloggers, and participating in blog communities (like MyBlogLog and DotSpotter).

5. Do you make any money from your blog?

I don’t make a lot of money at the moment, just enough to cover my web hosting costs.

6. If you were given a chance to swap your blog with any other blog, whose would that be?

I would love to have a lot of visitors like the big blogs (TMZ or PerezHilton), but I wouldn’t want to swap my blog with any other one.

7. Do you have any last words and/or blogging tips for beginners?

Don’t start a blog just to make money out of it. Try to find something that you’re passionate about - something that you know you’ll enjoy writing about even in a few years’ time.

Also, try to update your blog regularly, your visitors will come back for more if they know they’ll always find fresh content on your blog!

Getting traffic to your blog is not as hard as maintaing it. When you start a blog, you might think you are the only person blogging on that topic - you are wrong. There are literally hundreds and thousands of others who write on that very topic. Out of that pool only handful make it big time. You may ask- How to know if others are blogging better than you on that niche. Just look around, they are already successful and you are not. If readers do not visit your site, make them. To do this, make every post interesting. Think outside the box and give them a twist. For example, if you are a blogger about making money online, you do not have to invent something to write to get traffic. If you cannot find new materials, just rewrite the old stuff floating around the net and spice them up. Be creative. Change the tone of your articles to more sarcastic and humorous. People like funnies. It keeps them coming back for more.

To inspire you folks, I have included an example of a “different” writing. This is a old piece and (written more than a decade ago) if you have already read it, read it again. I am sure it will make you smile again.

This essay was written as a college application essay by Hugh Gallagher.

Essay Topic: Are there any sinificant experiences you have had, or accomplishments you have realized, that have helped to define you as a person?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.
