WHAT DOES 3 YEARS OF BLOGGING LOOK LIKE?

Blog

I just realized that on February 12, it marked 3 years of blogging on Active Rain.  Wow, where did the time go?  I had to go back and look at some of my statistics just to see what has gone on these past few years.

  • 718,515 points in that time equates to approximately 239,505 points per year.  19,959 points per month.  2,851 points per week.
  • 1253 blog posts written averages 418 posts per year, 35 posts per month.
  • 1253 posts average of 300 words is equivalent to 375,900 words total. 

 Now for the best things gained for the past three years of blogging:

  • Lot's of great friendships.
  • Increased referrals and business!
  • The phone rings a lot more!
  • In-depth and ongoing tutorials to improve blogging efforts.
  • Active Rain staffers who are always willing to assist with any question or concern.
  • A love of writing posts in a blogging format.

Thanks Active Rain for the support, love and friendships gained here in these 3 short years!  Can't wait to see where the next 3 years will take me!

Paula - I would add that the numbers, effort, and persistence you listed in the first section led to the wonderful results in the second section.

You have done quite a bit in three years - Congratulations!

Paula, Time flies in the Rain!  We don't hit the 3 year anniversary of our first post until June, but we've seen similar to you.  Lots of friends, some of which we've now met in person, a ton of learning, and yes, some increased business too :)
