State of the Blog, October 2008
It’s been a difficult few months here at the intergalactic headquarters of Uncommon Cents. I was very occupied last month with training for (and completing) the Honolulu Bicycling League Century Ride, as well as fumigating the house. While that was going on, the stock market decided that a steep decline in 2008 wasn’t enough and it would start completely cascading down.
Still, during that time, Uncommon Cents was able to keep its daily publishing schedule going and the income generated by the blog is more than ever, which is fantastic. We’ve also entered as many carnivals and festivals as possible, reaching out to the rest of the personal finance blog community.
On the downside, it appears growth in number of subscribers has stalled; I had a goal of reaching 500 subscribers by the end of 2008, but now I doubt we’ll reach even 200 subscribers. Still, I’m hopeful, and we have a long way to go; here’s hoping that this is just the beginning and that Uncommon Cents becomes bigger and better in the coming months.
Finally, all of our success is thanks to you, the readers. Thanks for reading, subscribing, Stumbling, and spreading the word about this site. Mahalo nui loa!
