Working on this blog has been a delight. I’m happy I got to explore this topic and share my appreciation of it with my audience.
Here is a breakdown of what was going down behind the green curtain during the span of this blog’s activity.
My most popular day in terms of page views was April 9th by a long shot. That day my blog got a whopping 16 views with the majority of them centered around the home page and then 5 views each for the post about Roshi K and ACSOblucka . Twitter was the driver for that traffic. If I followed the right-hook method, I probably could have driven even more views. I have to admit, this project was never about getting views for me.
Looking at my twitter analytics for April 9th shows that I got 54 organic impressions on that day. That’s almost my entire following on Twitter. Including the hashtags #FDOM18 and #TXState helped out a bunch.
One of the things I wish that I would have included in this project is an interview with one of the artists. I would interview every one of them if I could. Having a video of an interview would drive views and help you, the audience, make a human connection to the artwork.
This project really showed me what its like to create content regularly. It also helped me develop a little style in my writing. Overall, it was a valuable experience.
If I were to continue to do something like this professionally I would work a lot harder at growing my audience and engaging with my readers around the content that I produce. Behind the scenes, I could take note to see what’s working for me and what isn’t.
