This post, according to wordpress, is #952. I have about 50 more to go to hit the 1000 mark.
Since my posts tend towards new material, rather than just a link and a sentence, this is a shitload of words.
I’m grateful to all the folks who subscribe, read, forward, comment and even snark here, as this blog has been a critical part of my successful independent life so far.
I’d like to do something fun here when I hit post #1000. Open to suggestions – leave ‘em in the comments. Thanks.
Give away $1,000
No?
How ’bout let some of your long-time readers post clips of (and perhaps comments on) their favorite posts. Make it about what your readers are hearing.
Ought to resonate with potential new readers, yes?
How about an essay on blogging, or perhaps a blog spot – “How to create a 1000 blog post blog”?
Blogging tips, tips to get a successful blog, how to drive traffic to a blog, what some of the most successful blogs have in common – maybe you could include tips and suggestions on any of these points?
You definitely have the experience, we’d all be interested in hearing what you’d have to say.
By the way, thanks for the Seattle talk on Wednesday, it was damn useful (even though I webinar’d it from Toronto).
Congrats. I found your blog somewhat recently but have really enjoy it. Thanks!
It’s time for you to entertain us with your guitar & singing.
Thanks !
How about a video of you tap dancing? Or tap dancing in front of an audience.
May be a stretch (and isn’t really a post)…but perhaps a Question/Answer webcast or live chat? It’s probably a hassle, but would definitely help you connect more directly with your readers & subscribers.
Thanks for all of the great articles! This is definitely one of my favorite blogs, and I’m looking forward to all of the great material that is yet to come.
With one thousand posts, is it safe to assume that once you factor in research, the actual writing, commenting, working on the design and curation of the blog, etc., you’ve spent 10,000 hours on this site? By the Outliers theory, that would make you an expert in blogging in addition to your expert status as a public speaker. How does it feel to be an expert in this medium?
Please, share Your worst text/talk…and how would You rewrite it.
It’s most interesting to learn from failures.
