Aravind Krishnan Reveals his Secret Blogging Strategies to Making Your Blog a Marketing Success!
Podcast Episode 44 – Interview featuring Aravind Krishnan from Money Grows on Trees
Aravind Krishnan is a consumer marketing expert from Sydney with a passion for environmental sustainability.
After more than a decade working here and abroad in some of the world’s largest companies, Aravind decided to take on his biggest marketing challenge yet – how to convince everyday Australians that a sustainable lifestyle was not only easily achievable, but also financially rewarding.
The result was Money Grows on Trees, which took Aravind more than 4 years to research, write and build (alongside a busy day job). Launched in April 2016, Money Grows on Trees aims to show households how they can cut their carbon footprints and save money in doing so, simply by making more informed decisions on how they buy and use appliances.
Aravind’s goal is to make it easier for everyone to be part of the environmental movement.
Aside from marketing and the environment, Aravind’s other passions include live music, running and his beloved Penrith Panthers Rugby League team.
