Ryan Biddulph Interview (2026): How to Build a Better Blog

Ryan Biddulph is one of my favorite bloggers who always seems to have fun at what he does.

Ryan is the author of Blogging From Paradise, where he mainly talks about;

• Building a thriving blogging community
• Making money online
• His travel experience (he travels A LOT) and a lot more.

If you’re looking for a fun blog to read (and learn some exciting stuff about blogging), you must check out his blog.

What I really like about Ryan is that he doesn’t really focus too much on making money. He believes that money is a byproduct of what you offer to the blogging community. That’s what I think, too. If you’re too concerned about making money online, you really don’t focus on building an audience. That’s why 81% of blogs fail to make even $100.

So, in this interview with Ryan Biddulph, let’s discover some of the prolific tips that Ryan has for us. Are you curious to find them out? Let’s jump into the interview without further ado.

Ryan Biddulph interview on building a successful blog

1. Welcome to the Bloggers’ interview series, Ryan. Can you please introduce yourself to our readers?

Thanks for having me, Anil 🙂 My name is Ryan Biddulph. I help bloggers retire to a life of island hopping through smart blogging at Blogging From Paradise.

2. What was your biggest blogging lesson that made a HUGE impact on your life?

Blogging mainly for fun helped me tap into the unlimited energy I have to guest post, comment on blogs, write posts for my blog, and write and self-publish 126 eBooks. By overcoming many blogging fears, I was able to blog for fun, which opened me up to a whole new friend network and way of blogging.

3. I know you travel a lot. What’s your favourite place and why?

Thailand is my favorite country, but I also love Bali, Costa Rica, and Fiji.

4. What’s your daily routine? How much time do you spend a week on blogging?

I spend about 8 to 10 hours daily blogging.

My current routine involves meditating after I wake them. I read and comment on blog posts from my Feedly feed. I then write and submit 2-4 guest posts daily. I also share my insights on The Warrior Forum and Quora. Toss in 2 posts weekly on Blogging From Paradise, a weekly podcast, and daily live videos on Facebook and Periscope, and you have my day and week.

Takeaway: Most successful bloggers are successful because they work extremely hard. Blogging is no different. To build a successful blog, ensure you dedicate quality time to it, just as Ryan does. Explore the list of top bloggers.

5. What are the 3 ultimate productivity tips that you have for our readers?

The blog is primarily for entertainment, providing a source of unlimited energy to boost your productivity. Batch tasks, meaning, set aside 60 minutes for a specific blogging task, then move on when the 60 minutes expires. Spend at least 30 minutes daily on personal development, which boosts your energy and productivity.

6. What are the 3 premium products that you can’t live without?

My self-hosted WordPress blog. My CDN. Those are the 2 I cannot live without because I am not too focused on using tools.

7. You’re featured on some of the top sites like HuffPost, Forbes, Virgin, etc. What tips do you have for those who want to land on the biggest blogs when they’re unknown?

Write 1000 words every day in a Word Document and trash the document after you are done. Repeat for years. you get featured on top sites by developing a skill for years, which is why it’s tough to get featured on top sites.

Build your friend network every day by promoting other bloggers on social media. Your friend network will expand your reach, helping you appear on the radar of significant sites.

Takeaway: Writing 1000 words a day is an incredible tip. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a native English speaker or not; try to pen down your thoughts every single day to hone your writing skills. Writing helps you a great deal (in terms of building an audience, creating products, and crafting epic content).

8. If you had to start a blog from scratch, how would you build an audience and monetize it?

I’d guest post and blog comment on top blogs.

As for monetizing, I understand that my writing skill, practiced daily, is the #1 monetizing factor. Beyond that, I would establish an income stream every 3-6 months and then add more streams, learning, executing, tweaking, and earning money through one stream before adding another.

9. You’re a writing ninja. You’ve written A TON of Amazon books and guest posts. How do you handle so much of writing? How do you beat the writer’s block?

I genuinely love writing, but I practiced writing 1,000 to 10,000 words daily for many years. So I write like most people breathe.

When you write like most people breathe you never suffer from writer’s block.

10. How do you make money online? Do you have any monetization tips for our readers?

I make money online by having written millions of words for practice. Money responds to polished, honed skills, not income streams.

I also built my friend network every single day by promoting other bloggers, who then encouraged me, endorsed me and helped me make money through blogging.

My income streams include selling premium courses, eBooks, audiobooks, and paperbacks, offering blog consulting services, various consulting services, freelance writing, sponsored posts, ad revenue, affiliate revenue, and a few other income streams.
