The Backstory Behind My Viral Article

My friends say that I’m a robot because I’m a walking, talking, productivity machine. Seriously… look up “efficiency” in the dictionary whenever you get a chance. You’ll see a picture of my beautiful face next to the definition.

Back in December, I wrote a blog post on how listening to music increased my productivity and earning potential. In that article, I also discussed the process of becoming a millionaire before the age of 25 as I can work for 23 hours per day, every day.

Impressive, right?

Anyway, I published my article after checking for spelling mistakes and grammar issues. Then, I relaxed for the rest of the evening with a glass of wine and a bowl of caviar.

Here’s A Breakdown Of How My Article Went Viral

It didn’t receive thousands of views straight away. Instead, it just sat there, accumulating a respectful 500 views per week. Nothing crazy. But on January 03, I noticed the President shared it on social media with the caption: “This is the best damn thing I’ve ever read.”

As you might expect, my article started getting a lot of views within a short timeframe. It received 12,000 views within the first hour of the President sharing it on social media and 78k views within a single day.

I was lost for words.

Looking back, I don’t know why the President shared it on social media. Maybe he thought the title of my article was catchy AF. Or perhaps he also loves the best song in the world because it increases his productivity. Who knows?

The only thing that I know for certain is that I now have an extra $15,428 in my bank account. Thanks, Joe.
