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:

1. 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.
2. Cheap or free tools/resources for eliminating distractions while on your computer to focus on productivity.
3. 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 :)
