Few days ago Leo from ZenHabits.net announced an open thread for questions and answers. I have used this opportunity to ask him my questions. I have asked three questions and Leo was very kind to answer them. Here is the mini interview.

William: Do you have a copy/part of your ZTD you can give for free. I would like to see the structure!

Leo: I am writing a ZTD ebook, but I haven’t had the time to finish it yet — I hope to finish it soon! For now, I would just click on the ZTD category in the sidebar — it has all my articles on ZTD so far.

William: Can you list the methods you use for making money from this site and approximate values of these earnings.

Leo: Hmm. I’m not comfortable releasing earnings. I’ve been experimenting with different ad services, and am now going to start selling ads directly. Google, Amazon and FeedBurner have been my biggest earners so far. I don’t think I’ve done enough to monetize traffic — I’ve been too busy!

William: I want to know what is your weight loss system! I need it! :)) How much weight have you lost and for what period of time?

Leo: My weight loss system isn’t complicated:

1) I do a combination of cardio exercises (running and cycling) alternating with days of strength workouts (just pushups, crunches, squats, lunges, and a couple of other exercises).

2) I eat a vegan diet — it’s fairly low in saturated fat, for the most part, and I eat a lot of fruits, veggies and whole grains. I’ve also been cutting out sugar (except on Saturdays).

I don’t weigh myself or really worry about the weight. I just focus on exercising and eating healthy — a healthy lifestyle — and know that the weight loss will come naturally.
