How to land a six-figure book deal
Simple. Post a recipe for sausage stuffed and wrapped with bacon, aka the Bacon Explosion, or come up with a site called This is why you’re fat. This obsession with outrageous food is baffling. Just check out these impressive stats for the latter site:
* On February 1, we came up with idea, bought the domain name, designed the blog and began creating an image archive from the crazy food photos circulating the Web.
* On February 9, we launched the site to the public, opening it for submissions.
* In under 24 hours we reached over 1 million page-views, over 2 million page-views in under 48 hours and over 3 million in under 3 days.
* Within the first two weeks since the site’s launch, This is Why You’re Fat showed the highest traffic of any blog on the Tumblr platform ever.
* In under a month since the site’s launch, we have received over 2,000 submissions, not counting those sent via email.
