Simily 6000?
The creative writing site sees a growth spurt
I’ve been writing at Simily since the beginning of 2022 and regularly chronicling the experience.
Recently, I noted that despite a lack of any real social media use/engagement, the platform has surpassed 5000 members.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I logged-in today to find the site at nearly 6000 members. That would be an increase of close to 800 members over the course of a week.
What is happening? Why are people signing up?
I’ve certainly been among those who have pointed out the site’s shortcomings. I also noted the site consistently adds 50–100 new members a week.
Why nearly 800 this past week?
It clearly can’t be because of social media promotion, because Simily’s social channels are virtually non-existent.
Are they advertising? I hope so!
I’ve been pleased with the overall quality of writing on the site. I was, too, delighted to have a piece chosen as “Story of the Month”…
