1. Yo Womaniya, So what’s the secret behind such a “Yo” name?

Ans. Becoming a blogger was something I always wanted even before I started my Post Graduation. I love to share my opinions and try to find out if other people also think the same way.  I started Blogging in 2013 but it did not work out because of lack of knowledge. The time I started my Digital Marketing Course at Digiperform, I realized that I can pursue my interest cum passion again and there I am, Back to the platform which I love.

3. Why should people follow Yo Womaniya, In 50 Words?

Imagine, A women exploring the streets of Milan with a Burger in hand wearing Versace Dress and Mac on her Lips, that’s the part of her lifestyle.

6. What is the Most Challenging part of running this blog?

Ans. Challenging Parts of running this blog are Time and Money.  Initially, one needs a lot of time to dedicate to create and promote the content. Currently, I am working into altogether a different sector now for me to take out the time to attend the events and write the content is a difficult task. Secondly, Initially to promote the content you need money. I am focusing on earning money from a different sector and then investing it in my Blog. For me, Managing Time and Investing Money are the Challenges.

7. You recently had a Rapid Fire with “Chef Sanjeev Kapoor” and “Chef Kunal Kapoor”, how big of an experience was that?

From my childhood, I have always seen my Mom watching his shows and he being a cooking legend, there is a lot to learn from him especially when you belong to that industry. I am working into Food Industry from past 4 years and meeting with an expert means learning a lot of things from his experience.
