But I have not idea how its impacting people and how many people are interested in reading them . There has been increase in traffic to this blog but not as expected .

1. Put a comment below and Introduce yourself to me in some lines . Let me know where are you from and Why do your like this blog , How this blog has contributed to your knowledge and what else do you expect from this blog .
2. Next thing is a request , This blog needs much bigger audience and there are many people who need to read on the subject , but dont know about this blog . I want your help to spread the word . I request you to do any of the following thing you if possible for you

Hey . This is Mahesh here staying in US. Personal Finance is my one of the Interesting topic.
Expectation.
Overall your initiative is a good . But need variety of Personal Finance here.
This is how I would layout.
Constant Frugal Tips for an Indian Audiance. ——-> This can be based on Personal Exp etc
Constant Any good passive Income making tips like Credit Card cashbacks etc
Constant best money saving/making offers like Discounts in retail or anywhere.
You can start sharing your networth and monitor it across the web which will pull the audience and there will be N number of question/suggestion etc. Everybody will benefit. They will learn from your saving/spending/investment avenues used.
You can start sharing your Personal Goals/How are you achieving it. You can be a Role Model for others
Every month you can start analyzing 1 Stock or MF or Investment Avenue / Bonds and give a complete picture and say it is a good buy or a bad buy
One of the important thing which is difficult for a normal guy is understanding the Trend in the Economy based on Supply/Demand. like why Oil is going up, Gold Price is going up. What are the economic factor anyone need to master so that we can predict next time time when it happens— like a weekly/monthly wrapup.
You can even think of creating a Model/Virtual Stock or MF fund portfolio
Topics likes Taxes, Benifits of creating a Business how it help Taxes,
Topics like Term/Life Insurance
Topics like Home Insurance
Topics like First Time Home Buyer.
Topics on personal Loans
Some tips in Personal Finance that really worked from your personal exp like a) Scanning all important Documents like PAN, Insurance b) Investing 70k min per yr in PPF to make advantage of Free tax money etc
All above is a part of Personal Finance and people might be interested in it.
Above all there should be something which is very specific like a Trade Mark or Signature Articles for your Website something like Power Investing/Leveraging to make huge profit and Step by Step guidelines which you will not find anywhere. I am sure this will be a crowd puller
Also I am interested articles like
Eg: How start Hotel Business, How to start small/large business like Real Estate Builder, How to starta School, starting from beginning to end Franchising/Funds/Legal stuffetc etc.. I know this is a very big topic by itself but definetly helps everyone or atleast create some ideas.
also if there is a economic way to restructure your site both from easy navigation/look and feel, it helps
Good Luck.
hye manish . i am rajnish kumar from Hyderabad,india.i constantly visiting your blog almost everyday hoping for new article.
some of the relatedarticle which u can put on your blogs :-
1) more on stock trading
2) more on mutual funds ( performance,average returns, why one mf is better than other mf, review etc) like you did in jeevan versha. why it is worst and what is better option than this.
3) some information about indian economy. and it’s impact on investors.
4) you are not putting much articles on your market analysis blog. i expect more on it.
5) regarding home loans( why we go for home loan, where we go , tenure, interest etc.)
6) you are doing great work.your bolg only makes me to think about my existing lic endowment/moneyback policy to quit.
keep on adding more articles
hey…saif from bangalore…great going..some suggestions :
a model portfolio which could be tracked actively .it can be an excel sheet on this blog so that everyone can see.prob can be separated into F&O and pure equity segment.
More stock analysis..i know thats on a different blog but the frequency is not much.
how abt dedicated analysis on option trading.this is one tough trading area and with recent volatility rise ,it could be very interesting
@Mahesh , thanks for the review and suggestions . I will try to consider some things and write more on those things .
There are lot of things which i would not be able to write on , because I myself may not have much idea on it.
Let me see if I can give a better look and feel to the blog without migrating to wordpresss
, I am searching for some better template .
@Rajnish
Thanks a lot for the comment . I try to write more on mutual funds and stock trading .
Regarding your endowment policy it wont be a good idea to surrender it now if it has already crossed 5+ yrs .
@Shaq , Thats a good idea , but there are a lot of things to write about , It would be difficult to maintain this , but i would try to think about it .
Also , this blog is not concentrated on trading per se , but because there are lot of people interested in it , I will try to write more on it .

Hi Manish,
This is Raja from US (IN) and iam a regular reader of the blog.but for few days iam not finding it interesting to spend some time here because i don’t beleive in Technicals(like Stop loss,support, resistance etc.)But overall itz good.I learned one important lesson that is “RE-BALANCING” the portfolio (i thought everything will be for Long term and the above word has changed my belief -For which i paid huge price).Going forward i would like to see some general articles on Stock,MF and Insurance.Some article on “HOW to zero in on a STOCk for a great return” with an live example.This way everyone will be interested.Thanks and god bless you
Thanks,
Raja
Raja

Today I tried to read your blog, but it’s not a single page, rather a whole book of information.
I want to know whether there any
formal courses that related to
“how to do stock trading”.
hi Saurabh
Welcome to the jagoinvestor group
Formally I am not aware of the courses , but you can take classes on technical analysis , they are conducted at a lot of places .
If you are talking about long term investing on stocks , then you have to learn it on your own from reading the books and on internet , there are lot of people who write on it .
Here on this blog , you can read alot on personal finance and on stock market too .
Manish
your blog is too confusing, it is jack of all trade and master of none. I find too many things going on here. and everything is just basic stuff. no detail knowledge. It is better to just remain at bigger sites like moneycontrol or stockezy. i can find same thing on those sites. In here, there is nothing unique that makes me come here….
@Anonymous
Great ! , Yeah may be this blog does not serve purpose for some people like you , who need quality content , You can stick to moneycontrol or stockezy .
But please point us too to the good articles whenever you find any on other good site . We are here to learn .
Thanks for the feedback anyways
, You can use your real name instead of “Anonymous” , I concentrate on “comment” not names , so dont be fearful to out your names .

hi manish,
i am from Hyderabad,and working in stock market since last few years,i visited your blog because you wrote that you are passionate about options and so am I.

I write mainly for masses and masses are not in options trading or even in stock trading .
I will start writing on options trading ,when I start making consistent money , Currently I make profit and loss both in options trading .
Anyways , thanks for the comment , keep visiting .
What kind of trader are you ?
Manish
I read your blog with avid interest.The interactive sessions of Jagoinvestor,held in cities which others cannot participate;if all could also listen 2 it somehow.Online or video recording or some other method it would beyond doubt very nice.Please consider my suggestion.
