I would like to thank everyone who has been taking the time to read my posts. This site, despite its no frills approach, averages between 20 and 30 visits a day. I am happy to see that most of my 150+ posts have been read by a number of people from all over the world.
The US, Australia, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany are often at the top of my reader list. Yet, I’m happy to count people from China, India and Spain as frequent readers.
The most disappointing aspect of this endeavor has been the lack of comments and discussion this site has generated. I’m not sure if this is due to the fact that many of my readers are not primarily English speaking people, or if the topics are too varied and not presented in an antagonizing manner.
I would love for there to be more dialogue amongst the readers.
One of the major reasons I developed this site was to offer my art to the public for free. Though some have read and listened to some of my music, or read some of my books, I do not see as much activity in this area as I would have hoped.
I am very proud of my lyrics, and I find it hard to believe you would be able to find many others with as much feeling and intelligence as I put into mine. My music is a bit different and varied. As I’ve said before my music is art posing as music. It is lush, intense, and meant to be digested slowly and ruminated over.
The feedback I’ve received from my books has been very positive, and I would love to hear more people’s responses to my lyrics, music and books.
Over the last two years I’ve covered many topics on this site. We’ve covered gender issues and male sexuality, the stock market, social issues, personal development topics, the nature of human experience, pleasure, and meaning to name a few.
Of the blogs to date, Learning How to Purr, Female Sexual Symbols, Male Dominate Female Oriented Society and Why Are American’s So Depressed have been the most popular.
Thanks again for reading some of my thoughts.
Again I want to invite you all to visit my book and music sections to browse through my art.
Let me know what topics you want me to expand on, and how I can make this site more interesting to you.
United in Compassion,
Jim Guido
I know what you mean, buddy. As I once wrote to you, I think you and I have very similar blogs. Most blogs are about something, ours are platforms for our writing style, observations, and inspirations. That’s a tough sell for anyone because, after all, who the fuck are we?
Currently, I’m going through something of a similar situation. Check out the post What’s this website about and you’ll see that we seem to have had the same concern/post at the same time, namely, we see that some of you like us, so tell us what you like and we’ll do more of it.
Basically it comes down to marketing. I think we’re both going to have to start figuring out how to get more readers. Links are huge. Therefore, let me offer you a link from the very post I just mentioned to your site, referencing our similar circumstances.
Good luck, eh.
[...] the presentation. I like it when people participate. And I’m not the only one with this “blogging for myself but wouldn’t mind some followers” [...]
