Finally. Finally, THIS is how you do this
A few moments ago, I received a wonderful email from one of my blog consulting clients. I've removed any identifiable information to protect the client's privacy. When I get emails like this, it really makes my day, because I know that what I do for people gets real results. This person is using an analytics service which lets you see live traffic hits. That's why "Live View" is mentioned.
Check this out:
At 10:40 PM Pacific Time, the numbers on the post are as follows:
2074 Visits - a record2802 Page views -- a recordThe article alone has 1704 page views.I have to tell you -- when the simultaneous users hit 75 on the site this morning, I simply shifted to Live View and watched the numbers and search strings hit the desktop. It was great fun (Yeah, I'm a numbers person, I get that...). But it was also this emotion inside that was like..."Finally. Finally, THIS is how you do this. Great stuff...now get it done." Very motivating.Much work to do, but wanted to let you know and tell you thanks.
One of the things we've really been focusing on is writing better headlines. The surge in traffic was caused directly by the use of a pithy headline that really spoke to a core need this blog's audience has.
Of course I'm thrilled for my client. Their success means everything to me.
I just wanted to share a feel-good moment from blog consultant land with you. :-)
Carry on.
