Dividend Tree 8 January 2009 admin  Email This Post  Print This Post

Today it is exactly one month since I started actively posting on Dividend Tree. It is a very short time frame, but it feels like I have been doing this for a long time. It has been quite an experience from:

• early pessimism turning into encouraging optimism;
• time wrenching schedule impacts to a regular feature in my daily routine;
• extreme frustration of staring at HTML code to “oh! that was easy”;
• can’t think what to write to a long list of 40+ topics;
• random surfing and reading to now always reading with dividends as my frame of reference; and
• many more……

I started slowly with about two posts in a week. By third week, I got hooked and started posting almost very day. I did not have much content on my blog spot and hence, there was practically no traffic and subscriber list was empty. To be honest, I did not have any expectations. I was of the viewpoint that why anybody would read my ramblings on dividend investing and my portfolio.

From third week onwards, I started participating in blog carnivals. And then there was deluge of visits. The cumulative traffic on Dividend Tree went from single digit (in first three weeks) to 500+ page views (in just fourth week). The subscriber list went from zero (in first three weeks) to 40+ (in fourth week). Wow what a jump! Unfortunately, my blog spot was not set up properly and hence, my comments section was almost empty. You see, I was still learning the nuances of setting up the blog spot. Thanks to Jae Jun at Old School Value who pointed out this error.

I now believe I have a platform and momentum to interact with like-minded fellow bloggers. I hope to continue frequent postings and continue to share my experiences in my quest for building a sizeable passive cash flow.

I express my sincere thanks to all the readers/subscribers of this blog spot. I hope you will continue this journey with me.

So hop on and ride along with me!
