Blogging Experiment

1,000 Subscribers!

Published March 6th by Ben in Site News 13

SubscribeWell it took a while, but this blog has crossed the 1,000 subscriber mark for the first time ever! The number has been hovering in the 900’s for at least a couple of weeks now and wouldn’t you know it, I just needed to turn this thing over to some great guest posters to get over the hump.

When I started this experiment almost exactly 8 months ago, I really had no idea where it would go or how well it would be received, but I couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out. I’ve been privileged to meet loads of fellow bloggers, earn a decent auxiliary income, and learn a TON along the way.

Thanks so much for subscribing and visiting the site. I can confidently say I wouldn’t be here or have accomplished any of the goals I set if it weren’t for you so I really do appreciate the time you spend here. They say the second thousand subscribers is much easier to get than the first. Let’s hope that’s true. 2,000 here we come!

    PS. Your Blogging Experiment theme is outstanding. I purchased it last week and I love it… It’s very easy to use and manipulate.

    Congrats Ben. I think I was among the first 100 or so to subscribe and have gotten to follow your success. It’s well deserved.

    Congratulations mate. I’m still yet to reach the one thousand mark but Ive only been blogging for around 4 months, so i hope i can achieve the same success that you have, and i wish you luck for the future in continuing to grow this fantastic blog!! It gives a very interesting perspective on things, and that’s what i love about this blog, over many others!!

    awesome stuff. I get a personal thrill each day that the old number jumps up.

    in my first month it got as high as 97 and now hovers around 55.

    keep up the great work and yes it is amazing how much you learn and all the people you “meet”.

    Ben, you’re absolutely correct that the 2nd 1,000 subscribers would be easier to obtain. I’m trying to hit my first 1,000, but I know that what you’re absolutely correct about it being easier in the future :)

    Congrats!

    Wow, really well done :) I too agree about the second thousand being easier to come by as people are a hell of a lot more likely to subscribe to an already established blog. Good luck!

    Looks like its below 1,000 right now. Oh well, it’ll bounce back up.
