Building RSS Subscribers

GoBackpacking's RSS Feedreader Stats

Slow and steady wins the race.

In January 2010, I’ll have been blogging on GoBackpacking for 3 years, with 20 months of it spent traveling around the world. And I am just now breaking the 800-subscriber mark.

See the steep uptick toward the very right edge? That corresponds with the end of my ’round the world trip.

At that time, I began to leverage Twitter to create a new source of traffic, and also compiled my dares from the trip into an eBook which I am giving away as a bonus for RSS/newsletter subscribers.

Being unemployed does have its benefits, at least in the short term.
