This is my 200th blog post.

It is October 29, 2013.

When I hit my 100th blog post on November 11, 2012 I did a post covering how many views my blog was getting. I really liked that idea and it eventually spawned nichesitejournal.com.

In this post I want to show how much has changed in the last 100 posts.

Some Cool Facts About my Blog:

  • I published my first post on February 15, 2010 (3 years, 8 months, and 14 days ago).
  • It took me almost 3 years to publish my first 100 articles and I published the last 100 articles in less than 1 year (approximately 2 per week).
  • I started the Jason Loves Life Podcast on April 11, 2013 (about 6 months ago).

My Blog Visitors Statistics:

  • In September of 2013, I had 1048 unique visitors come to my site.
  • Of those unique visitors, I received 1142 visits. This is 220.79% more than the year before.
  • While the number of visitors has gone up dramatically, the number of pages they visit and the length of time they spend on my site has gone down 70%.

Day 3 Video – Kickstarter Experiment

I am uploading this video with just 5 minutes to spare. Which is great that I have produced a video a day for the last 4 days is very exciting. They aren’t getting huge view numbers right now, but I am just proud of myself for being consistent and getting this done!

HERE IS THE VIDEO:

I like it!

The thing I noticed about the first two panels of Nimona is how quickly and efficiently it set the mood of the strip.  The variation of line and tone are simple and yet somehow combine to provide me with the knowledge that we are now in some sort of super- nefarious lair, and Nimona is not at all afraid of it.

I have to say how much I like her right away, I’m not even half way through the comic but I do admire her.  Maybe it has to do with her expressions, her quirky sense of humor, her trauma based rage, or maybe it’s because she’s not another busty waif with oodles of wavy hair and pouted lips that are just sure to create sexual tension. No, Nimona’s not like that, she has character.

I am launching my Kickstarter Campaign soon for the Madman of Magic comic book chapter 2. As a way for other artists to learn from my experience, I am creating a video a day. It will be either a check in on my progress, a video on how to run a successful campaign, a look into my comic book production process, or whatever I feel will be helpful.

I hope you enjoy:
