About The Friendly Blogger
The Friendly Blogger aims to help readers in learning the basics of SEO, traffic generation and link building. Our blog posts are jargon-free and not boring as they are written by friendly bloggers 😉
The Friendly Blogger was founded by Lisa Drubec in late 2009 as a Blogger.com blog, turned into a self-hosted WordPress blog in October 2010 and was acquired by Ivan Widjaya in May 2011, a web property investor and a blogger himself. Don’t worry, Lisa will be around with The Friendly Blogger as one of the bloggers.
Both Ivan and Lisa are bloggers, so they know the challenges and struggles faced by a blogger, as well as all the pleasure in sharing what we know to readers without asking anything in return. So expect us to share from our personal experience!
About Ivan Widjaya
Ivan Widjaya is the owner of some popular (ha!) blogs, such as Noobpreneur Business Blog, Cloud Business Review, Directory Daily and – of course – The Friendly Blogger.
He was a business owner that has gone through many entrepreneurial challenges, including near-bankruptcy moments. He then chose the route of online entrepreneurship and now supports himself and his family 100% from online income.
About Lisa Drubec
Lisa has her ups and downs with blogging – something that makes her an outstanding blogger. She founded The Friendly Blogger – so she knows this baby for a long time. She sold The Friendly Blogger to Ivan Widjaya but stays on to write the typically great blog posts for us.
