“You like me, you really like me!”
How do you follow-up a story like the last one? Seriously! I’ve been trying to wrap my brain around it. Why?
For the first time, I broke 100 visitors on my site in one day! Now, that may seem like small peanuts to, well, everyone. But for me, for my personal blog site, that’s a milestone I never really thought I’d hit. As I explained to my lovely wife, it’s to me like performing in front of a packed auditorium is to her. The total for the day was 135, and I’m floored. Seems like a lot of folks enjoyed reading the birth story of our new baby boy, as evidenced by the 100+ visitors to that page alone.
And this made me ponder what I want to do with this blog. Do I continue my comments/reviews of books, television, movies and games? Do I add in more stories of family and home life? I’m not really sure. Obviously, the birth of a baby is always of interest to folks, especially family and friends. I’m sure this number is going to be my high point for quite some time. And, as I think on it, I really marketed that post for all it was worth without realizing it. I had so many people, on-line and off, wanting to hear the story, I just started pointing them to my blog to read it.
Gosh, duh. I guess marketing works when you have a product people want to learn more about, eh?
Anyway, I had been thinking on making a personal schedule of themes and days to write and such. Now seems to be a great time.
You know they say behind every man’s great story there is the woman it was about (okay, and the baby too.) :-)
