Some of the Insider Information regarding my Indian Startups Blog. Thought it might be useful for someone.
How a topic gets selected?
Usually people asking me to review their site. Or sometimes, I will choose a startup randomly (Based on recent posts in other blogs, Recent buzz)
Anything special about the titles of your posts?
I spend a lot of time, to choose the best title for my post. I usually name the title with something that excited me to write that particular post. Below are some examples.
- BlogAdda Vs IndiBlogger – Read this today! – Tag line of Blog Adda is “who are you reading today”
- Our viewpoint about instablogs – Tag line of InstaBlogs “Everyone has a viewpoint”
- Lets criticize criticat – This post starts with “Shweta’s Life has become more beautiful”. This is because her blog has the title “Life is Beautiful”
- Continue working on the same lines, you can find all the easter eggs!
What will I do if I find a startup promising, but don’t want to blog about it immediately?
I will add it to the Indian Startups Directory, which has become matured enough now.
How many Review request mails am I getting?
One or two request mails per week.
Revenue Model
I am not going to worry about any revenue from this blog for another couple of years. Pure focus on continuing to write something interesting and useful.
Other plans
Just started a new blog focused on UK based startups. No time for podcasting or video interviews. But I will be doing more and more Email Interviews down the line.

Prabhu,
You are putting in gr8 efforts but why are you starting all your blogs in WordPress.
Even if you want to monetize it at a later point of point you will not be able to !
Why don’t you shift things to hosted domains so that your branding part will also become much easier.
Simple reason. Don’t want to spend money on a blog! Also no ads means lesser trouble for readers right.
