1. Tell us about your background and journey.

My name Is Fazal and I am from Delhi, I like video games that's why I learned software engineering with a thought that I may create my own games someday, I live at a place where people only talk about food which is Delhi-6, as its a Muslim area so you will hardly get veg here that is why I am pure Non Vegetarian from the time I started to eat myself, That is why this name first comes in my mind "Non_veg_lovers" .

In starting of this blog I was not aware that people will like my content this much, but know when I see my followers count as its increasing very well so its giving me motivation to post best of the best content for my followers.

2. What led you to start your page on Instagram and what is it about?

The idea of this blog comes in my mind because when I joined my office so everytime my friends from other cities used to ask where they can find best non_veg because they knew that I can help them, And one day suddenly I thought lets make a page and will add all these friends so they can always find best places for food even when I m not there for them,

3. How would you distinguish the term blogger from an influencer?

According to me a blogger is someone who is having his own website where he host a blog and publish his own original content which give us some knowledge or some details about some new things.

And an influencer is someone with an online platform who has a massive following and therefore have a large impact on an audience's buying decisions by providing details about that products or services.

4. Is it financially sustainable to be an influencer today?

See, if you wants to earn being a influencer so its not that easy as we think, because its not easy to create good content in part time even if you can creat still you have to work a lot, its like a job where you have to give full time and have to keep patience to get followers, likes an all once your content will start to come under trending searches then you will get business from brands. So it can be financially sustainable but will take long time, hard work and lots of patience.

5. What do you think influences consumer behavior?

Best presentation with complete details of product can easily change consumer's behavior. While posting any products blogger should mention all the pro and cons about that product also price and about its worth, so that gives a chance to consumer to think about that product twice and can change his thoughts about that product.

6. What is your idea of success or your mantra in life?

Before you quit, think about the reason you started and think about that dream which you saw for your future when you started, so that will give you motivation to go for that again with more energy and more power and once you getup again and again then no one can stop you to get success.

7. How can someone become a successful social media influencer?

Better understanding and knowledge about your audience that what they like and what they don't can really help you to become a successful influencer. And insights of your blog is the best tool to know your audience. Like always check response on your post that which type of content is getting highest likes and views so that you can create same type of content again and that will engage your audience very well. Also try to interact with your followers to know them and to get feedback from them to make your blog more interesting and valuable.

8. Which is your favorite book and why?

Rich Dad Poor Dad is my favourite book, Its a book written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter.

I like this book because it advocates the importance of financial literacy, financial independence and building wealth through investing in assets, real estate investing, starting and owning businesses, as well as increasing one's financial intelligence to improve one's business and financial aptitude.
