This episode is a bit different. I have two guests today, both of whom are new-ish bloggers who have done incredible work and seen amazing results in their first 3 months of blogging.

It's my pleasure to bring you a casual conversation with Lily from The Frugal Gene and Ms. FAF from Frugal Asian Finance.

Lily -> 9k views/month in 3 months, 2-3 podcast bookings, 1k+ Twitter followers....and she also brings in roughly $7k/month just from her AirBnB rental(!)

Ms FAF -> 17k views/month in 4 months, incredible engagement on every single post, and she has incredibly helpful monthly blog reports.

We chat about

How these 2 ladies have helped each other grow their blog traffic and engagement.
The supreme importance of real-world blogging relationships
How bloggers over-emphasize traffic and analytics
Is having paid software really going to make a dent in accomplishing your goals?
Gender/ race opportunities and limitations in blogging (why isn't anyone talking about this?)
