100 Posts You Say ?

I managed to finally write 100 posts. Some have been good, some have been bad. Some have managed to get a shit load of views. I’m not going to go on and on about everything, but I would like to do a selection of a few snap shots of what’s happened so far.

Eating a burger, because...

The first thing I would like to say that my post about a certain big LGBT business has been my most viewed post. I’ve already got into enough trouble with it. But if you think I’m taking it down, you are sadly mistaken. I am keeping it, not because I bear a grudge (far from it) but as a reminder that the services that young queers and trans people go through, still need improvement, and regardless, we cannot be lax on it.
Secondly I would like to say how amazing Alfredo was. Bravo for being a great fucking sport and doing a guest post for me. Honestly I am privileged to have worked with you with that. I’m fully aware that you are certainly not a writer and you hate homework. Your post was heartfelt and powerful.
Everyone who has done a guest post for me has been wonderful and I thank you all for all your hard work. If you ever want to do one, please message me, and if I like it, you will have Fridays guest spot.

If you noticed on one of my posts, I finally hit my yearly goal of 5000 views, and that has been a huge buzz for me, and has kept me going. I seriously thought that I would give this up originally and something has kept me going to write.
Finally. I would like to show you a selection of the search terms people have found me with. If you don’t have WordPress or run a blog like this, you might not know that we get data sent to us. The search terms, whilst it is being slowly phased out, is often the most funniest thing about blogging. So I’m going to show you some of the best ones. Just to say, these are not all of them, this is just a small selection.

I have no idea why boys like big breasts, I don’t think I have even written about that ever on this blog. Though, there may be room for me to do that one day.

I don’t know how drunk this person was, or what they were looking for, but I hope they managed to find it.

OK, this one I got quite early and I STILL do not quite understand why someone would need to type this into Google. But who ever it was, thank you. You have given me months of giggles. May I recommend that you develop more will power when it comes to watching porn

Yes, we really should do this. But I do not know what this is, but I hope I helped you in whatever it was

That was it, just attract. But it got who ever it was, to my blog.

I don’t know when the movie will be played IN me, but I really hope that I get given some warning to put the popcorn on and get the chairs ready.

I hope this got you to a picture of candy, the beautiful border collie. If you didn’t get a chance to see her, here is a picture.

Again, I don’t think I’ve ever posted pictures of my own man boobies, but I have spoken about them a couple of times. I hope that what I’ve written has helped. And finally

YES, yes I would like a beer. I would really like a beer!

I would like to thank everyone who’s gone through this ride for nearly a year, and I hope you have liked this catch up.
I hope in 50 more posts, I can post up about more of my achievements, and I hope you will all be there to see it. Thank you

I Hit 50 Posts

So I hit 50 posts. I can’t actually believe it. I honestly didn’t think I had got that far if I’m honest. I thought I was at about 30, but I was greeted with this notification in the early hours of the morning *GO ME*

So catching up from this, my most popular one has still been about “Brighton pride” and that’s hit over 800 views now, which is amazing because all I’m doing is ranting about how awful it is.
I have started doing more blog challenges and more posts that will being in more interaction, and I think I will continue to do this more often.
From my last catch up post, I said that I wanted to average out at about 10 views a day, and this month (so far) its been hitting an average of 20, which I’m amazed for, but I know I can do more.
I have found a note book that I’m going to use to write my ideas for new blog posts, so I don’t forget them, and hopefully I will be able to write some successful content.
I still haven’t decided yet whether I want this to be a transition blog, a craft blog, or any other niche blog, so I am going to continue to write about how I’m feeling, and what is affecting me at that time.
I’m going to try and advertise more, and hopefully I will get a larger amount of permanent followers by the end of the year.
I hope that in 50 more posts I can talk about how my views and content has improved, and that we may start talking about making this blog something bigger. Till then, keep reading , and thank you for following.

6 Months Of Blogging

So this month, it makes it 6 months since I started this blog. And 6 months of people reading stuff that I actually write. I have no idea why people have, because its just been me venting because I am not receiving therapy. But you have been reading it.

These are my views, visitors, likes and comments. Now this isn’t a huge number for some of you all, for 6 months work. But it’s pretty big for me. It works out as 8.8 views a day. I know that is a tiny number on comparison to some blogs. But for me, its a huge achievement.

Now these are my views per post I have done. Looking at it, I know one thing. 790 views on a single post is amazing for me, considering I wrote it at the beginning of the month (august). I am so proud of it. Again. I know there are bloggers that get 1000s of views on a single post. But this is the biggest thing I have done. It meant a lot that so many people wanted to read about how bad Brighton Pride was.

Looking at these stats, its bringing me to think about my goals for the next six months.
1) Blog more! This is what I have started to do anyway. I’m trying to aim to try and do 3 or 4 posts a week. Sound excessive but I think its possible.
2) Get my view count up. I want to get from an average of 8.8 views a day to an average of 10. This seems pretty achievable because this week the lowest amount I have had is 6. Maybe in 12 months time I could be looking at 50 each day. Hahaha I can dream.
3) Have more followers. I don’t want to make anyone follow me, but it would be nice.
4) Be on freshly pressed. One day!!! That would require me toning down my language though haha.
5) Maybe raise enough money to make this a premium blog, and have my name with out the “.WordPress.com”. Again more of a wish then a goal.

Ways to make this happen:
1) Blog, blog and blog.
2) Blog good content
3) Advertise my blog more
4) Join more spaces that promote blogging.

The overall chance of achieving this:
Pretty high if I actually commit to this. As opposed to these 6 months where I gave up for nearly 3 months in the middle. In that period of time I think I got about 50 views in total.

Things I will be blogging about in the next six months :
Anything I can

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with this blog. Its a huge learning curve for me and I aim to get much better at it.
