Let’s Look at the Numbers

I know it is a little early in the month to be doing any sort of review on things, but hey, the world is set to end in two days, and well, I wanted to get a post written for today but had a lack of any concrete ideas, and thought this would be a nice easy post.

This website is approaching two years of age. I started it in February 2011 which is frightening enough in itself. That first year, I ended with 5000 views, and I was delighted. I saw a steady increase each month in the number of visitors I received each day, the number of comments and social media shares, not to mention followers.

When 2012 began I had no idea what to expect, but hoped to better the 5000 of the debut year. I am now sitting on over 20,000 views for this year, a staggering increase if may say so myself.

Sure, these numbers are not groundbreaking, but they are very much a positive reflection of the work I do. I am delighted, and have already got plans in my head for how to increase traffic next year.

I am a big fan of the phrase ‘Aim big or go home’ and so I am setting myself the target of 100,000 views in 2013. It might be a long shot, but hey, I like a challenge. Besides, with my books coming out this year, it should give me an even larger platform to stand upon.
