Hi friends,
Welcome to Blogbias – A free resource site to learn, grow and earn money from blogging & other mediums.
About Shailesh Thakran
I’m an SEO professional, a full-time blogger and founder of Blogbias. With over 9 years of experience in building and growing websites, I’ve spearheaded SEO initiatives for companies like Abobe, Sprinklr, CashKaro, WordPress.com, Emami, EarnKaro, etc.
I completed my Engineering in 2015 from Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Delhi. My blogging journey began in 2015 when I borrowed a credit card from my friend, who’s now my wife.
Somehow, I managed blogging along with a 9 to 5 marketing job. It was difficult to manage work and blog together as I didn’t have the budget to outsource different tasks (I made a good decision). So, I used to dedicate my weekends to blogging and weekdays to my professional career.
It was worth being patient and working hard.
Blogging changed my life by providing financial independence through multiple income streams. Now, my mission is to help you achieve the same success.
Did I mention it?
Blogbias is my 5th blog.
Well, you can also check my blogging setup somewhere down below.
I talk a lot about Blogging, Content, Affiliate and Making Money.
Personal Life
I live with my wife, Shivani and my parents in New Delhi, India. My hobbies include cycling, cooking, outdoor sports & reading about vehicles.

Meaning of Blogbias
There are infinite possibilities to blogging & make money, and I’m always biased about that. While thinking of a domain name, I used a suffix in Blog+bias = Blogbias. Below is the explanation:
- Blog: A website for sharing regular posts (articles) on a topic.
- Bias: Fairly or unfairly slanted towards something.
Blogbias = Fairly or unfairly slanted towards blogging and making money.

BTW, I’ve mentioned only 2 blogs.
What makes Blogbias different?
Apart from authenticity, expertise and transparency. Blogbias distinguishes itself in the blogging, SEO, and content marketing space through several key factors:
- Beginner First: Blogbias is uniquely tailored to cater to beginners, providing accessible and comprehensive guidance to those just starting their journey in blogging and make money.
- Women Centric: I’m committed to empowering women, offering 1:1 issue resolving, insights and resources that address the specific challenges and opportunities in blogging.
- Revenue Channels: Blogbias strongly emphasises helping bloggers and marketers maximize their revenue through effective strategies – Affiliate is one the strongest. You don’t need to depend on 100k+ sessions for effective revenue from display ads.
- 9 to 5 Freedom: I want you to experience the freedom of a digital nomad through blogging. I ensure Blogbias provides free or paid resources to live freely and blog remotely.
Thoughts behind Articles
I believe in user-friendly content, not for bots.
That’s why my content writing process is a little different. Unlike other blogs, I don’t use freelancers or outsource content to scale content activity. I truly believe in self-testing – observing and writing an article.
My collective experience spanning over 9 years in WordPress, SEO and Affiliate ensures that every piece of content I publish meets the highest accuracy, relevance, and value standards.
