Blowing away monthly stats.

What a quick week it has been. Things continue to go really well, including stats for this page. I have reached my goal of 30,000 unique visitors for the month of March, with 9 days to spare. That is an average of 1,400 unique visitors a day. When I posted those stats on my site and told everyone of my goal, I had no idea if I was going to make it or not. I did know that I was going to try and do what I could to reach my goal. It is very important to have goals. Making them public is always a great motivation factor as well.

Here is the link to my stats. February’s traffic was pretty small compared to this month. I officially started this blog on Feb. 19, meaning I only had a couple of days to market it that month. In March, I have spent a total of $30 towards advertising on my site. I have more time than money at this point, so most of the advertising was accomplished with a lot of time invested. I am aiming to flip this around . Now only a couple more people to go for my goal of 100 RSS subscribers. Not bad for one month.

Going backpacking.

Lindsay, Ace (our mutt) and I are taking a trip to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota. By the time you are reading this we should be on the road. We have made it a tradition to go backpacking over Easter weekend to a different park. Each year it is an adventure. Last year we lasted one night in 1-degree weather. Brrr. The year before we ran out of water and borrowed some from somebody’s hose faucet (they were not home). Who knows what adventures lay ahead for us this weekend. I will be sure to share photos and memories when I get back.

Podcast and Video Logs.

I am still working on and planning to share podcast and video logs for the readers of The Unconventional Marketing Blog. I have the process all figured out and will probably get some out by this week. Maybe there will be a backpacking special. I don’t know, we’ll have to see.

Contests.

It seems like a lot of contests are showing up all over, and I can’t blame people. I love winning free things and like participating in different contests. Tyblog.com is starting a new contest and it is shaping up to be a whopper of one at that. If you are interested in contributing to the contest or want more information about what he needs, go here.
