I was surprised to find that I hadn’t made any sales of Twitter Rockstar as I thought that was going to be a regular thing from the traffic that goes to the Twitter Guide every month. Oh well, you can never tell.
Subscribers
Big milestone this month – I have hit the 10k mark which is rather nice. I’ve pulled this diagram a day late so I’ll take the subscriber number from yesterday which is when I usually do it.
Subs at the end of May: 9,171
Subs at the end of June: 10,099
New subscribers in June ‘09 – 928
Last month I noticed that the growth had been lower than usual at just 344 and this month it has shot up to 928. This indicates that perhaps the numbers weren’t quite being reported correctly last month. You’ll see from the graph that Feedburner had a rather big glitch at the end of the month too.
Traffic
Traffic levels have taken a bit of a dive this month but I’m guessing that’s due to a natural summer slump as well as lack of new posts here. Much to be expected really.
Where Have I Been??
I’ve actually had people emailing this month just to check if I’m still alive :-) There are two reasons why I haven’t posted this month. The first is that my work now is entirely focused on my software project. I’m not doing any kind of marketing activities at all so I’m working on all technical programming related stuff and as this isn’t a development blog there’s simply not much to write about.
However the main reason is quite simply that I have done very little work at all of late! The reason I quit my day job back in September ‘07 is not just because I wanted to do my own thing but far more importantly because I wanted my freedom. I don’t like having to be at a certain place at a certain time. I don’t like having to call in sick or ask permission to take time off.
Over this last month here in the UK we have had the most gorgeous weather which is rare as usually it’s so unpredictable! Over the last few weeks in particular I’ve been having BBQ’s, going to the beach, snowboarding, picnics in the park, walking along piers, indoor skydiving, partying etc and have been having the time of my life! I do feel guilty that I’ve hardly done any work but you know what? I had a really crappy time for most of 2008 and it’s about time I had some fun so I decided to live now and work later :-)
However I am still working on the project, even though it’s doing my head in at the moment so I will write some updates if there are some non-techy developments to report!

900+ more subscribers and thousand bucks with one post ain’t that bad :) but seriously, nice to see you still posting this income report, as it’s interesting to see how things are going.
Speaking of the tech & programming you’re up to – You don’t have more techy blog do you? Would be interesting to hear more about that too.. anyway, good luck with the project.
