I’ve learned in this short time since I’ve started this website that the most difficult part is not writing: I love to write and it’s easy for me, as I have may things to say. The biggest challenge is to get readers, traffic for the website.
I’ve tried hard to get traffic from Digg, which is a social networking webiste. Social networking means that I submit a story I think is good, other members read it, and if they like it, they vote. If you gather a big number of votes in a short period of time (hours), your story would get promoted to the front page, which has so many visitors that it has been said it had crushed many servers.
I wasn’t successful in my Digg attempt, therefore I decided to find some smaller social networking places were people are more friendly and give their votes also to strangers, not only to their friends. I found a few of them, and I had a nice surprise: not only I needed only 5-7 votes to get my story published, I also made a lot of friends and we had a lot of fun.
Who needs Digg, anyway?
