5 Blogging Questions with Free Money Finance Blogger

FMF (he prefers to go by that “call sign”) at the insanely popular Free Money Finance blog kindly answered my 5 Blogging Questions. I’ve admired his blog for a while now. He is a believer and blogs on the topic of … uh, personal finance. The great thing about his site, other than the sound advice, is that all the site profits go to charity.

Here’s the Q&A:

1. How did you start blogging?

I actually started at work as a way to help market our company. I found out rather quickly that people really like to read about money management/personal finances and since I’ve written on the subject for years, it seemed like a natural fit for me.

2. What subject do you post most about?

I cover every area associated with personal finances — retirement, investing, debt management, making more money, etc. But the single topic I’ve posted about most is saving money. I recently compiled all of my money saving posts into one and I had 301 tips. It can be found here.

3. What are your favorite blog tools?

Reading blogs – Bloglines
Buying domains/managing email — GoDaddy
Blog software – Typepad (makes it easy for a non-tech guy like me)
Tracking (posts, ads, etc.) — Excel (there’s nothing like making it simple)

4. How often do you post?

I post five or six times a day Monday through Friday, once on Saturday and once on Sunday (where I write on “The Bible and Money” every week).

5. What one piece of advice would you give for prospective blogging pastors?

Read my series on how to develop and grow a blog. It’s a 15 to 20 post series that starts with this post and goes from there. It contains most of what I know about blogging.
