Today I went on Twitter and saw a graph and number on the left hand side of each tweet indicating how many times it had been viewed. My first thought was if there was a way to turn it off. It doesn't benefit me to see how many times a tweet has been viewed. It's … Continue reading How many times has this tweet been viewed?

The content and the audience
I recently read an article about how much various influencers get paid. The majority of the people were twenty something but the numbers of followers ranged from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand. What I've found to be interesting is that when paying an influencer to create content you're paying for 2 things: … Continue reading The content and the audience
The role of the creator
When it comes to this blog, I'm in charge of the writing process and you are in charge of the rest. That includes the views, likes, comments and how popular each post gets. As the creator, as much as you might want to be, you can't be in control of the numbers and of how … Continue reading The role of the creator
Putting out good content
The 2 things you need to make money on YouTube through ad-revenue are 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of views. If you're in it for the short run, the work it takes might not seem worth it. You might even feel like you don't want to use your best work on a small audience, especially … Continue reading Putting out good content
Understanding numbers
When I was 16 or 17 years old sat in sociology class i remember my tutor saying 'There are lies, damn lies and statistics'. I felt like I understood it at the time but my understanding has definitely grown over time with experience. The thing with numbers is we associate them with mathematics, facts and … Continue reading Understanding numbers
500 and something
It started with 1 then 50, 100, 300 and now 500. A few weeks ago, I reached 500 followers on this blog. I consider it an achievement because 500 is quite a lot of people. At the beginning of the year I wrote down that I wanted to grow this site and reach 500 followers, … Continue reading 500 and something
When the numbers get you down
I try not to look at the stats very often because I never want to be too attached to the numbers. Of course it feels great when the numbers are high, when you're getting lots of likes, comments and new followers. But when the numbers drop and you're not seeing as many likes or views … Continue reading When the numbers get you down
Putting it out there
Your job is to create and then put it out there. It might not get the amount of views you want or it could be loved by millions, that is not something you have any control over. It's not your job to try and convince people that your work is good. In fact, you need … Continue reading Putting it out there
Commitment to the writing practise
My favourite thing about this blog is that I'm driven by my commitment to writing more than anything else. If I write something that gets 1 view, I'm just glad that I committed to writing something another day. If I write something that gets 102 views, I'm glad that a bigger number of people got … Continue reading Commitment to the writing practise
300 and counting
Last week, I noticed I was getting close to 300 followers, a few days ago I reached 300 followers and now I have surpassed it. I don't allow myself to pay too much attention to the number of followers I have on this blog. Followers doesn not equate to views, likes or comments and overall … Continue reading 300 and counting
