Hello bloggers!
Let me introduce you to one of my blogging student “Surbhi Gupta”.
She is a housewife but she had a long passion for digital world. She tried many online digital courses and YouTube channels to learn, however nothing worked out for her.
Then in 2024 Feb, she contacted us at 1millionblogs for blogging mentorship.
In our discovery call, we were struggling to choose a niche but when we came up with this idea of “kitty party” blog, it took away our attention. She loved the kitty party niche, as she is actively attending and organizing kitty parties in her society.
I (as a blogging mentor) also saw a good potential in this niche, as their is almost no competition.
Four months have passed, and we have observed an unbelievable growth in Hizoppy. In this interview, we will explore the journey of Surbhi, founder of Hizoppy.com and understand how her blog is growing

Q6. What advice would you give to other womens who are just starting in the blogging world? And, how important is it for the womens to be financially independent?

Q7. Can you share your content creation process? How do you come up with new ideas for your blog posts?

Then, I dive into research, gather my thoughts, and start writing.

Editing is key – it’s where I refine my words to make them clear and engaging. I also add visuals to spice things up.
Before publishing, I take a moment to make sure everything feels right. Sometimes, I’ll ask a friend for feedback. Then, it’s out there for others to read and hopefully find helpful or inspiring. That’s the beauty of content creation – it’s about sharing stories and connecting with others.

Q8. Have you faced any criticism or negative feedback about your blog, and how do you handle it?
Yes, I totally understand. Sometimes, we can be our own toughest critics, right? When I am doubtful about my work, I try to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
It’s important to be kind to ourselves and remember that we’re all learning and growing. Instead of getting stuck on what’s not perfect, I focus on the progress I’ve made and the love I have for what I’m doing.
Ultimately, as long as I’m enjoying it and being true to myself, that’s what really matters
Q9. What role has your mentor played in shaping your blogging journey?
My mentor Mr. Sataya praksh Mourya has played a significant role in shaping my blogging journey. His guidance, encouragement, and insights has been invaluable every step of the way. From helping me navigate technical challenges to offering advice on content creation and audience engagement, which I needed to grow as a blogger.
His support has boosted my confidence and kept me motivated, even when things got tough. I’m so grateful for his role in shaping my blogging path and helping me grow as a Blogger.
Q10. How do you balance your personal life with your blogging commitments?
Finding balance between my personal life and blogging commitments is definitely a journey! One thing I’ve learned is the importance of prioritising and scheduling. I try to set aside dedicated time for both blogging and personal activities, making sure I’m giving enough attention to each.
And of course, self-care is non-negotiable. Taking breaks, doing yoga ,going for walks, or spending time with family and friends helps me recharge and stay motivated.
At the end of the day, it’s all about finding what works for me and being mindful of my own well-being while pursuing my passion for blogging.
Q11. Where do you want to see “hizoopy.com” in 1 year?
In a year, I hope to see “hizoopy.com” as a warm and inviting space where people gather to share their love for kitty parties and find inspiration for their own gatherings. I want it to feel like a cosy corner of the internet where readers feel welcomed and understood.
I’m excited to see the website continue to evolve, reaching more people and making a positive difference in their lives. Ultimately, I just want “hizoopy.com” to be a place where people come together to celebrate life’s little moments and create memories that last a lifetime.
