#188 – Fame, Focus, and Billions of Pageviews with Evan Britton of Famous Birthdays

<p>Evan Britton (@Evan_Britton) runs a massive website focused on digital celebrities called Famous Birthdays. It gets multiple billions of pageviews a year, has dozens of employees, and he bootstrapped it to profitability without raising a dime from investors. They key to Evan's approach is his laser focus. He says no to almost everything, including the most obvious of opportunities. Instead he prefers to "stay in his lane." He'd rather make one thing great than do a mediocre job at 4 or 5 different things. The story of how Evan made Famous Birthdays great is one of fame, focus, ambition, patience, and just a little bit of luck.</p><ul><li>Evan's platform for digital celebrities: https://www.famousbirthdays.com</li><li>Follow Evan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Evan_Britton</li></ul>
