The only thing I can say is: WOW.
Over the past 7 days, Pocketpreneur’s readership has more than doubled.
OK, going from 9 readers to 23 isn’t really much of an accomplishment. It’s certainly dwarfed by other blogs with hundreds, even thousands, of devoted followers. Feedburner keeps changing up the numbers too.
But I don’t care about them. I care about you.
Whether we have 3, or 30, or 300, or 3,000… I want to thank you guys for subscribing to Pocketpreneur!
Aside from the announcement at Startup Launchr, this blog hasn’t been promoted much. A couple links here and there, but that’s about it. You guys found yourselves here either through StumbleUpon, or 43things, or Triiibes and decided there’s something here worth watching out for.
Can I help it if I think that’s just uber-cool?
OK. Moving on, reason I’m writing this post is two-fold. They are, in no specific order:
- I just wanted to let you guys know that the blog is alive and kicking. I have some posts lined up — it’s just a matter of scanning the illustrations, which is a 2-minute process but I’ve been procastinating like mad! Of course, I don’t want to annoy you by posting just for the sake of posting, so I follow a personal rule of post something useful or post nothing at all.
- TO EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS: there isn’t much of you, but I just want to let you know that I’ll be migrating the list from Feedburner to FeedBlitz by next week. You’ll get a notification to confirm that you’ve subscribed through email before. Please don’t mark it as spam. I won’t ever think of spamming you guys :)
- The real reason I haven’t been actively posting is because I’ve been busy writing a book for Pocketpreneur. I don’t want to reveal too much about it at this time, but the basic premise is that it’s a guidebook on how to come up with your own business ideas and how to know if it’s a good idea. I was going to do a test to let the numbers decide for me again, but I have my heart set on a title already. I promise to have it finished, polished up and out to you guys by August 31, 2008 (or the week of).
And that’s it!
Hello my name is,

August 8th, 2008 at 2:55 pmHey Melvin and Lora! Thanks for dropping by. It’s always great to meet similar minded people.
Lora, I think it’s awesome that we’re both operating on the same coast. Are you based in Oregon or do you actually have people in Vancouver?

GeorginaI love your layout and design, and based on the content look forward to reading your book. :) Really catchy name too! It’s a huge plus to me when a book I read is supported by an online platform for one to interact with the material, keeping the learning alive in our day-to-day while to the author offering a constant touchpoint for their personal brand - a genius strategy!
I found your blog through Triiibes, is this why your readership has more than doubled? :) Look forward to hearing more from the pocketpreneur - Google Readered!!!
