Website: Year One

One year!

Today marks one year of nathankey.com which is a milestone that's come a lot quicker than I would have expected. For all of you who reguarly read and comment on my blog, thank you for making this such a great experience for me.

Stats

Since creating this website, I've had over 6,000 individuals visit my page from almost every state (still waiting on Wyoming- no surprise there... I still don't believe it exists) and over 90 different countries around the world.

Last month alone there were over 1,000 different visitors, so I feel like I'm gaining some momentum and attracting people to the topics I've been discussing.

As far as content is concerned, it seems like everyone really enjoyed my Letter to Craigslist Buyers, Thoughts on Ethics vs. Morality, Brains in Your Head, and 7 Ways to Get a Job.

Shoutouts!

Weebly themselves have been my biggest referal. They've featured me twice this year which definitely increased traffic to the site.

My friend Seth came in second and Chris, one of my guest bloggers came in third. Thanks to both of you for pushing people my direction. I'm really glad for both of your voices and your referrals!

The Future

In the next year, I'd like to double my reach. What I mean is, I'd like to reach at least 12,000 visitors. It's an aggressive goal because in my new job, I'm working a LOT more hours and I'm not in front of a computer, thinking all day. This means I'm going to have to come up with relevant content that excites people- with less time investment.

That's where YOU come in, gentle readers!

If you like what I write and the ideas I present here, I'd love to have you interacting with the content and requesting topics that I could cover in the future that would be relevant to you! I'm going to be looking for ways to make my blog a lot more interactive and look for opportunities to include more guest bloggers in order to show off how great my readers are!

So, if you're interested- you can begin right here by talking about it in the comments section and dropping any suggestions on how I can make this site more appealing to you!

Thanks again for making this a great year for me!
