Chris, I truly believe your 1,000 subscribers are a direct result of your honesty and integrity. You probably would not have this many fans if you hadn’t taken the time to build successful sites so that you could honestly teach from experience. Eventually, readers see through the BS that so often accompanies this topic. The newest MMOL guru might draw a crowd for a season, but most of us know who has the goods and who doesn’t. Congratulations on your success – I’m sure it is just the beginning for you. Here’s to your reaching 5,000+. Keep going and it will probably happen sooner than you expect.

Hay Chris, I used your real stats idea in this post “How my website went from 4000 Page Views to over 16,000 in a single day”. I took screen caps of the stats and posted them in with the story. Let me know what you think of it. http://promovieblogger.com/?p=2337

As you can see I gave it a title with numbers like some of your most viewed forum posts.

Well, personal stories are based on your own experience so I would suggest just using the personal stories from your life to tell a compelling story. It all sort of depends on the focus of your blog though.

thanks for this Chris, now i got an idea on why i wasn’t satisfied with the results to my blog, i haven’t yet made personal stories to my blog. Is it possible to ask from you some tips on how do i do it? thank you.

Sounds good. Yes – I always like to include personal stories with most of the blogs I run as it is a way for readers to better connect with me.

Great post Chris. I actually have a story but I haven’t told it yet. I didn’t think anyone would care. Now I see the error in that. I’ve guest posted once and I have secured another opportunity to do the same.

I have been doing the forum thing on a small scale and will expand. I will also be starting up a newsletter and attempting to finish my first eBook.

Stressing stats and real numbers is something many do not stress. Thx.

Hey Navi, I think the list idea is true but I also think that building loyal fans is more important than simply seeing people on an email list as a cash register. See this post here to see what I mean:
