My Simily Sweet 16
16 weeks on a new writing platform
Last week’s Simily update was brought to you from Seattle. I was there for a conference, but also found time to write.
Now, I’m back to my regular writing from Nashville. This week marks 16 weeks since I started my Simily journey. A “Sweet 16” of sorts, I suppose.
How’s it going?
Well, Simily now has more than 3500 members — not terrible. Still, the growth is slow. As I’ve noted before, the site seems to be averaging a net gain of about 100 members a week. Not fast at all, but not a mass exodus, either.
Then, there’s the latest effort by Simily to promote writing on the site. They’ve consistently done a “Story of the Month” and now they are curating a list of “best stories.”
The idea is that they will promote these stories — writers will actually see Simily pushing out some “top” stories from the site.
