The Zen Habits Story: How I Got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years

by | Become a Top Blogger

By Leo Babauta

I often get asked by newer bloggers about how I started Zen Habits, how I built it from the early days, and how I turned it into a successful blog so quickly.

And while I’ve never exactly been secretive about what I’ve done, I’ve also never told the full story … until now.

Today I’m happy to announce that I’m releasing a free report called How I Got 100,000 Subscribers in Two Years: Lessons from Zen Habits. Again, it doesn’t cost anything to download the report.

In this report you’ll:

  • Find out which three things make a blog go viral.
  • Understand how to skyrocket your subscriber count.
  • Learn my most effective strategies for building a fantastic blog.
  • Hear the story of what I did right — and wrong — in the early days of Zen Habits.

Get the report here.

It’s been a fantastic journey, and I hope that in sharing my story, you’ll learn something that will help you in your journey. And as always, thanks for reading!
