Overwhelmed and happy

by Matthew Stibbe on July 7, 2006

My post ‘How to concentrate on writing‘ got picked up on LifeHacker and Digg and yesterday I got an astonishing number of visitors, comments and emails.

I was in Rotterdam visiting a restaurant I’m reviewing for the Robb Report and my smartphone kept buzzing with incoming mail!

I’d like to thank everyone. I’m going to look at all the comments and links and reply over the weekend. I’m particularly grateful to the chap who pointed out that the link to ModernPilot.com in my intro was broken. D’oh!

“Riding on one’s coat tails” comes into play here.

Because of the success of that post, and because I swiped the first comment, your site–according to Google Analytics–now counts for 23.6 percent of all the visits I am getting. This is just 3 percent lower than the largest source: “other.”

So thank YOU.

My pleasure. I’m not complaining but I feel that I have my work cut out now to live up to one big hit post. I was chatting to a star blogger acquaintance of mine who advised me to carry on doing what I’m doing and ‘just be me’. But what if me means getting 20,000 visitors a day from now on? Or none?

What happens will happen.

You’ve got something to offer. Real advice.

That should be enough.
