We ask this question all the time....
How can I get traffic/follower growth as a *new* blogger?
Usually the answers are disheartening and overwhelming...but today's guest is here to present how he kickstarted a new blog with one. extreme. post.
- Before post -> traffic peaked at 13 views.
- After post -> 10,000+ views in a few days.
Adam Fortuna (Minafi.com) is a brilliant, brilliant guy. Before diving head-first into personal finance, he was (is) a world-class developer, coder, product manager (I'll plug his company, CodeSchool.com. It's fantastic for those looking to learn to code. I've taken 3-7 or their courses).
In this episode, we chat:
- How he engineered a blog post for mega success, and took his traffic from a few dozen a day....to over 15,000 views in a weekend. Seriously, what he did is incredible.
- Cheap or free tools/resources for eliminating distractions while on your computer to focus on productivity.
- The importance of asking yourself questions (unbias questions, as Adam points out I'm bad at. Which is true by the way :)
He is quickly making a name for himself in the blogging community based on his financial independence guide, and he's also a true gentleman and value-adding human being (he also help me set-up the official FinCon Slack channel. He volunteered!)
Enjoy this deep chat with Adam Fortuna :)
