So I was thinking about doing a year end review of some kind. Then it turned into something else haha! Looking at the numbers and readers I have, I was shocked! I knew there was at least a couple hundred followers and that’s not in counting the returning “visitors”/readers. Not to mention the growth of the website as a whole. For example:
When I started Nerdy Life Of Mine(use to be called Think Geek) in 2011 on Blogger with only 48 follower/readers. Note it wasn’t a .com then.
Then I moved it to WordPress in 2012 and that’s where I bought http://www.nerdylifeofmine.com. By the year’s end I had over 375 followers/readers. Also had a hard lesson on placement of sources and links. Things you really don’t think about when you first start. But after I found my footing and where I wanted to go with my site, things were rather smooth sailing at that point. Rather funny thing is, I only have 13 post for that year.. Baby steps I guess haha.
Moving ahead into 2013 I went from 375 followers/readers to 9,556! What!!?? Good lord! Kinda kicked things up that 
year with 350 post and being more proactive and learning how to write code/build a website. Close to the end of the year I was asked to guest spot on a podcast called Geek Fallout. Also picked up a few different writers at this point, to take part in Nerdy Life Of Mine. A rather big year for N.L.M. Also I was given award by the blogging community for “The Inventive Blogger Award”. A rather nice way to wrap things up.
In 2014 I took a backseat a little this year and let some of the other writers continue making posts. 2014 I also became a editor, producer and host for podcasts Geek Fallout, Random Nerdness, Geek Fallout: The Comic Book Episodes and Trek1701. Most of my focus was on podcasting and networking and updating the website. I made a few posts here and there. The numbers held at over 9,000 again, only gaining a few hundred followers/readers. It went from 9,556 to 9,776. Not a bad year and holding strong. At the end of 2014 I started looking at the content and made a LOT of changes. Updated the look and feel of the N.L.M. and took a small step back from podcasting. Only doing editing and producing for Geek Fallout and Random Nerdness. In the end I removed some of the writers and cleaned house so to speak, there was about 450 posts written up for the year.
Now this brings up this year!! 2015!! After a lot of work and finding a good balance between podcasting and N.L.M things are running smooth. Still editing Geek Fallout podcast, and also started up a new podcast with some friends called Eclectic Mayhem Podcast. Also started writing more and have more of a scheduled line up of topics every week. Like comic book trivia, podcasting topics, movie news and personal everyday life stories. Also started up a Book challenge that’s been going on for about half the year so far(still going on). There was a rather big jump in followers/readers this year! Going from 9,776 to 12,006!! Even tho this month isn’t over yet the total post count was 367 and I’m thinking it might 375-80 by the years end. Earlier this month, I started looking around for someone to do a new logo for N.L.M.. I’ve always made my own logos and thought it was time to see what other people can come up with. Right now I have a few samples to show you: ( I haven’t release the artist/designer’s name yet. Mostly do to the fact I don’t know if he would be okay with it. Hasn’t said other wise.)
Things to look forward to!? Well I will be continuing on with my Star Trek Book Challenge till I hit the end(even if it kills me.) I will also be podcasting with Eclectic Mayhem Podcast and Geek Fallout on a more regular time frame. I would also like to do a lot more TableTop topics like I use to. Getting back to my roots so to speak haha, I would also like to get back into my art and show it more on here. This is something I really don’t share with a lot of people and a lot of people don’t know about this :). Also I would like to get my wife to start writing more and share her nerdy cooking recipes and D.I.Y projects.
