400 Posts!
The most recent post on this site was the 400th since I started writing the blog in July of 2007. It has been an interesting ride and growth experience. Before starting this blog I had done very little writing outside of sales presentations. For those of you who do not personally know me, I am not employed in any way in the securities industry. I was employed in the industry for several years in the early 1990’s but have gone in other (several) directions since then.
Writing for this site has allowed me to be a paid contributor on several different websites. I have also become quite proficient at setting up hosted WordPress blogs and websites. For examples click here and here. I really enjoy the process of setting up these sites and look forward to the future launch of The Shipping Stocks Blog.
At this point in time this site gets about 6,000 to 8,000 page views per month. Many of my articles are picked up by Seeking Alpha, where they are typically viewed by another 5,000 to 7,000 readers (per article). I also have a small following of readers who get my new articles by email. (Feel free to sign up in the box, upper right corner). So I will hazard a guess that somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 people read at least something I have written each month.
If you do the math 400 posts works out to about 20 per month. I do this on my own time and have found that (sometimes) forcing myself to write almost everyday definitely helps the growth process. I hope my articles are becoming better written and more interesting as time goes along.
I am in the process of once again upgrading the look and feel of the site (4th time). I have purchased a premium theme and think the new look will keep things interesting. For all of you who read my stuff regularly or occasionally, Thanks.
