Encounter with Pradeep Kumar of HellboundBloggers.com. A pro blogger and a good friend of mine, here is the set of question and answers that might come in handy for all you budding bloggers out there.
1) When and why did you start HellBoundBloggers.com?
HellBound Bloggers (HBB) was initially started to experience the art of blogging. First Blogger.com was holding us, now WordPress.org. HBB came into play on 21st February 2009. The purpose of this blog is two-fold: to be an eye-opener, and to be a guide.
2) How has the journey been so far in the world of blogging?
It was really fantastic. I would not have gathered this much resources, knowledge, and friends if I was not in the field of Blogging.
3) How did you achieve Pagerank 4? What is it hard?
It was hard for me since I was not concentrating on Link Building earlier. But Guest Blogging helped me to increase them. I wrote Guest Articles on several blogs and I was active on forums like Digital Point.
4) How much money do you make online?
I’m not really a money maker. It does not fascinate or interest me that much. Major income sources are Google Adsense, Sponsored Reviews, Affiliate Marketing and so-called Services! 
5) Are you involved in any other projects on the Internet?
I was indirectly helping bloggers to migrate from Blogspot to WordPress and I was paid for that. I also did four Server/Web Host migrations. After my degree, will start my own and official services. I also do freelance writing. I have plans for a better project, hopefully very soon.
6) What is the secret behind your popularity in the blogging world?
I’m not sure whether HellBound Bloggers or S.Pradeep Kumar is a popular thing on Blogging World, but my list articles are helping me to attain a unique position in blogging (Said by a regular reader of HBB once).
7) What should one do to establish as a Problogger?
Apart from producing Quality content and Good Promotion Skills, he/she should understand commentators or readers desires and they should also respect them. A Professional must possess the qualities of a dreamer, a thinker and a doer.
8 ) Will you sell HBB? If yes, under what circumstances would you sell it?
Right now I have no idea about that. I won’t sell HBB though. Money is not an important factor. I want the new owner to maintain it properly. Hard to find such people.
9) How long did it take for you to earn from HBB?
I never defined success in terms of money. Money was just a by-product of my blog’s growth. I had no intention of making money with my blog until curiosity got the best of me. It took me 5-6 months to realize I can earn hard bucks through my blog. It happened when a lady approached me for a paid review.
10) Do you want to tell something to the Blog readers of NPXP.com? (Anything about blogging, Internet marketing etc.)
Never get discouraged in the first few attempts. It is often the last key in a bunch that opens the lock! Never ever spam. Respect your readers. Love your blog. Have fun!

Interesting to read such motivational interviews..
Being a regular reader of HBB, I’m really happy to see some quality content in his blog, i like the way he promote HBB. He is a very good friend of mine and rather than calling him a good friend, he is a motivator, he likes motivating others.
Cheers for Pradeep & HBB
I am a regular reader of HBB, and many time me got some queries and finally pradeep was the guy i look everytime. he helps a lot. Nice blog. Best wishes.
congrats brother, another cool interview. and wish you for your official services.
Yes Blogging should not be started with the intention of money, if so you are failed in first place. we get revenue by what we share and help others/readers.
For me, HBB is a tutorial place to learn more about blogging. he is a really king person, who always ready to help friends/bloggers.
# Never lose your hope in blogging, for me, i get so many bad critic from known and unknown ppl at beginning. but they know now and feel guilty for their hard talk.
Hope and dedication Must in blogging.

“Never get discouraged in the first few attempts. It is often the last key in a bunch that opens the lock! Never ever spam.” The lines still keeping me in this blogging world.
I think Pradeep is not a pro blogger. He’s a part time blogger !!
How can you say a part time can’t be a problogger???
Appreciate the work and get over it instead of making such comments. For all I know, you can’t be a problogger with that attitude.
