This goal is less meaningful to me that it was a few months ago.
There’s some worthwhile ideas in that post but actually hitting a certain target number of subscribers… might not be the best direction for me and Broadcasting Brain for the long term. I still plan to reach out and spread conversation and ideas amongst lots of people, but chasing traffic, subscriber counts, etc. is more than a full-time job in itself. And that’s a full-time job that has almost nothing to do with my real full time job, you know?
And, after awhile, you just can’t scale and have meaningful interaction beyond a certain point. You know?
I think that Amber has the right idea in this post. Hat tip to Steven Hodson for also pointing it out to us once again. (If we were playing hockey, that would be a goal and an assist, I guess.)
Mea culpa for temporarily buying in to some madness.
I'm with you Mark. I don't look at traffic stats, I just write!
Oh, I still look at traffic stats and such, so maybe I'm only 90% in agreement with what Amber wrote. However, I'm not interested in pursuing a ridiculous, self-imposed goal of so many subscribers.
I didn't mean look as in not physically looking — I meant I don't consider them important really. It's not why we should be writing anyhow.
