Mainstream attention!

It so happened that I gained a ton of mainstream interest. I blogged about Libyan passports before and every time the registration opens my views spike, today it reached a record of 3696 views in one day! It took me months to get to that number back when I first started blogging! I’m glad all that hard work is finally paying off!

 

My blog reaching record views!

And then the coolest thing happened, the wonderful Mrs. Khadija Teri mentioned my blog in one of her blog posts!
I was a part of three Libyan interesting blogs, a true honor and a real traffic source! I feel blessed!
Mrs. Khadija says she wants to pickup on her blogging and return the golden age of blogging before social networks took over, I’m all in for that, and being the Anti-Facebook blogger that I am, I encourage everyone to start blogging and making some effort rather than being used by Facebook!
 I’ve written a series of posts talking about the dangers of facebook, and I would like for you to check them out, the information in these posts have made me take the decision of leaving the site once and for all. And I don’t regret it one bit!

I’ve decided to prepare a little surprise for my readers once my blog reaches 100K god willing.
Stay tuned. 

60,000 views! Can you feel it?

I’m taking this pause to celebrate a milestone on my blog: Reaching 60,000 views!

 It’s very important to take a step back to admire the bigger picture, and find inspiration to go on.
I feel grateful and thankful to Allah, for enabling me to achieve this. Then to all the people who supported me and stood with me to reach where I reached today.
I’m glad that my work all these years is finally starting to pay off, and the techniques I picked up along the way are working together very nicely (I’ll be happy to share them here once I master them!).
Now that I got that off my chest, let’s set a new bar!
I’ll see you at 70,000 with my eyes set on the grand 100,00 views 🙂

Once again: Thank you..

50,000 views!!! Thank you all!

Yes, I’ve made it! 
I didn’t plan this far ahead, I didn’t even prepare a speech! *Whips out a speech!!

It’s been a terrific journey, reaching to this point was a dream when I started blogging 4 years ago, now that I’m here. I’m thinking of the next summit to climb.

 

I’m my 50,000 reader!!

You will notice a new “minimalistic” theme, how do you like it?

Thanks for being a regular reader and supporter, and I will see you in a new milestone soon enough!

Random question, has anyone missed the Game of the week column? 

Update: I’m putting podcasts on hold for now, too much effort with zero reward!

Turning the page on 2015

It’s the end of 2015 which has been an excellent year for me, I did my biggest year blogging so far!
I posted 233 posts (this post is counted too) which totals up to 64% of my entire blogging!!

Goals

In 2015 I decided to take blogging seriously and take my blogging skills to a new height, glad to say I did it!
I’ve reached 48,000 views on my blog, a little short than my original 50,000 mark, but I knew that was unachievable!
I also started blogging in Arabic, which was a huge draw on some topics!
With the new domain and sitemap and awesome templates, adding podcasts and better posts all around, I just raised the bar so high, I don’t think I could do what I did the next year!

Social media gains

I also gained closer to 8000 twitter followers! That helped my blog grow, a lot!
But do numbers really matter when it comes to blogging?
I do believe that if my blog is helping people solve daily problems, and inspiring them  and showing them the way to success, that I achieved my goal blogging!

Replies like that remind me why I became a blogger 

Shout out

I also like to thank my brother Alaa for providing Facebook traffic, I don’t use Facebook at all and he is sharing my posts and bringing in valuable stas!!

Summing up

This year it will be quality over quantity, I might deliver less posts, but these posts will be detailed and presented in a different way, that’s my 2016 goal!
Thank you for being a part of 2015, and lets take 2016 on!!
