The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

JD Roth from GetRichslowly.org runs arguably one of the most popular personal finance blogs on the web. I had him take me for a walk down the path that ultimately lead him to where he's at today and here's a few of the highlights: 
  • How he Started his First Web Journal in the Late 90’s
  • How One Post titled Get Rich Slowly on a personal site led to the formation of GetRichslowly.org
  • Why you need to Assume Nobody and Everybody is reading your Blog
  • The Guest Post Criteria that JD and Other A-List Bloggers Look For
  • Finding Sites outside of your Niche that Your Content Aligns With
  • How to approach A-lister bloggers about linking to a post you have written
  • The Key Things That Publishers Look For When it Comes to Getting a Book Deal
  • Monetization Methods that Are Beneficial To Your Readers
  • The Importance of Transparency on Your Blog
J.D. Roth is an accidental personal-finance expert--a regular guy who found himself deep in debt. After deciding to turn his life around, he read everything he could about money and finance. In 2006, he started the award-winning website Get Rich Slowly, which Money Magazine named the Web's most inspiring personal-finance blog.
