This weeks featured site is a go to place for all those searching for ways to make money online, I normally don’t do MMB’s as featured but this one is a corker! I asked Sly Blanco some questions about how he started blogging…

Q1. What got you into blogging?
Well, over a year ago, I wanted to find a way to make money online so I can buy my own stuff (I never even thought of getting a day-job then). I am not really the type of person that would ask my parents for money, so finding a way earn money was something that I needed to do. So one day, I googled the term “how to make money online”. I then discovered ProBlogger. Well, you can probably guess how the rest of the story goes.

Q2. What has been your biggest challenge and how did/will you overcome it?
To be honest with you, the biggest challenge for me is time management. There are so many other activities and hobbies that I do outside of blogging and in the “real world”. It’s even harder when there is only one person who manages the blog, which would be me.

So to overcome this, I plan to slowly get a team of bloggers to be part of a SlyVisions writing-community. There will be 3-5 other bloggers that will help with writing posts, promoting the site, and managing the blog in general. And what are the benefits of these bloggers? Well, they get shared income from the blog.

Q3. When did you first encounter CommentLuv and what was your impression?
I just remember saying to myself: “Finally! Something that will encourage commenting!”

To me, having a great community within a blog is something that is essential. A blog isn’t a blog without any comments from readers. With CommentLuv, readers are encouraged to leave comments. So when I heard about CommentLuv, I just couldn’t get any happier.

Q4. How has CommentLuv benefited your blog?
Simple: more discussions and more links.

Seriously, I think that CommentLuv is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to achieving these things. Bloggers always want more comments on their blog and they always want to build links to it. With CommentLuv, both can be achieved effortlessly. It’s no surprise that CommentLuv won the WPMU plugin contest.
