5 challenges identified and future Quelbazar

Here's a string! It's been a long time! And I'll even say that, this is interesting! Though: More interesting to read than write, because – it is difficult to be auto-psychanalyser in public… Recently, she was launched by Bleebot on July 28. I repeat there his description:

Why we pass as much time blogging? For the money? I don't think for most of us. For some challenges may be. And what are your challenges on the blogosphere, which ones did you? What are we proud? Everything is personal but share his pride, it's also to admit its weaknesses and to show all the way to go. And then it is also a way of saying to the bloggers who are new, well Yes, I'm there!

Therefore, to identify its 5 made blogger challenges, as well as its 5 future challenges in the blogosphere. And pass the ball to 5 bloggers. It is BurningHat who gave me hand. Between BH and the initiator, there had also been jisee. Good bein at work! 5 challenges made by this blog:

1. Trying something new: at the base, I started blogging to try a free platform launched by a daily garbage. It allowed me to try my hand at blogging. I was then able to introduce me to the jungle of different hosts (4 hosts tested, 3 blogging platforms, an undetermined number of versions, themes and updates).
2. Have something to itself: find an activity for itself, outside of family and work. A "creation" personally, something that exists.
3. Have tried all imaginable methods of advertising and sponsorship (or almost): Yes, although I am convinced that Quelbazar has too many pubs, I'm pleased by testing all the methods of advertising, partnership and sponsorship available: proof that Quelbazar exists first and foremost to make pleasure to its author and to him to test stuff…
4. Quelbazar hearing: Google is my friend, and brings a large (everything is relative…) number of visitors to Quelbazar: something like 7,000 visits and 10,000 page views per month, it's satisfying. A few "best sellers" articles have also hit. In fact, articles that carton aren't necessarily ones you think…
5. Keeping the length and different migration: my first appearance on the blogosphere date of March 2006. Since then, 500 tickets on Quelbazar, and a few others before, big one 2-day ticket. A good average.

5 future challenges for this blog:

1. Find an editorial line: Quelbazar is a nice mess (besides the name was chosen in function…): life, family, job, computer, gadgets, sustainable development, regional news, and so on: it's good, but obviously a blog without editorial landline does not retain a lot of people. Worse: People get tired in the long run. To give value to Quelbazar, should be more focused, and more rich articles also. Quite a challenge. Besides, I'm not convinced that I want to raise!
2. Ensure a rich editorial content: I talked about above: currently, an article on 10 has a content editorial sufficient in my opinion: the rest is buzz, the chenis, copy – paste: filling, what…
3. Increase the real hearing of Quelbazar: Although Google brings me well visits, my 70 subscribers to my RSS I am not satisfied. I need more. I have too many casual visitors and not enough visitors regulers. So do me a favor: sign up for my RSS feed!
4. Better manage time spent at blogger, and my life in front of the screen in general: working 45 hours a week on average, have woman in children aged 5 and 8, House, Garden, great outdoors, political and social activities, it takes time. And, therefore, spend 2 or 3 hours in front of it at home in week, and over the weekend, this is not what we can call a balance. Can do better, so.
5. Make nice Quelbazar: find the theme that kills, succeed to the presonnaliser properly, find a compromise between "Christmas tree" and sobriety. It is not won, because incompatible with my willingness to try things (plugins, pubs, etc.). In addition, the artistic feeling and I, that's 2.
6. …. Continue keeping the fun to do. That is the challenge bonus. But not easy, perhaps: not necessarily compatible with the number 4. There are lifestyle choices to make, and Quelbazar might not survive to these choices. But as long as it's in a good mood…
7. Become a millionaire with advertising revenue and be able to stop working. At the moment we're at $30 per month.

(Yes there are 7 challenges, not 5. And then?) This is! Casually, the exercise is not trivial: it involves some questioning. But it's always good to question… Otherwise, it remains to define 5 victims to follow the channel, because – break a string, it's bad luck. And that's tricky, because I do not know 300 bloggers, and among the few that I know, I hesitate to make them this poisoned chalice… The nominees are: Ash because – his "survey and tests" section is too empty, Nakan so that he stops playing with his new car, Guy Gardner, me Lady Jo because she bored probably at the other end of the world, Gael because he at least once participated in a string.
