ME n my READERS
Okay
people, so I have been blogging for a while now and I have a bank of dependable
readers. These are people who know me and so read my blog and some are people
who read my blog and so know me. I blog for them and bully them all the time.
Anybody who is in my distribution list will vouch for the fact that I torment
them incessantly and real bad. Can’t help it, I am like that. So as soon as my
post is ready first thing I do is I have it all over. You cannot run from me
and say I didn’t get a notification because my post link is all over. Its on
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, on your watsapp and I am still thinking of new ways
to interrupt you with my ever new pieces of work. If you think my creative
streak ends with posting a new blog
post, you are wrong. I think less when I write and more after I post it. I have
to keep thinking of new ways to ask people to first read, then nudge them for
feedback and then for a like on my blog and on FB and then a share on Google+,
FB or a retweet…. So as you can see I don’t expect much in return of a good
post.
And if I
don’t get any of the above within few minutes of posting the post…comes a new
reminder for feedback. I swear I have put in more time and creativity in
pressing people without making it look obvious(I know its obvious……but just to
make me feel good) so I ask in subtle ways or drop hints. I create curiosity by
discussing the post in a circle of people. I keep sharing it again and again in
FB. I keep sharing how many clicks we have had already to make the reader feel left out if they haven’t already clicked
and contributed to the ever rising no. of clicks. So you see this is the real
hard work. But not every trick works on everyone. So I have to think of
different and innovative tricks for every other reader. So to make things more
organized and well managed. I started observing my readers and their various
habits w.r.t following my blog. So my
dear readers believe me I love you more than I love my blog. And if you think I
may take a new year resolution and improve…sorry its just the calendar that
will be changing and not ME!
PS: I am
waiting for a feedback, share, like…whatever you can manage the first and fastest.
Hahahaha...!!
