Thanks everyone for a great Diet Doctor year in 2017, our tenth anniversary!
In 2017, we (once again) more than doubled the size of our company, and launched our new Spanish site, and worked out and started to launch our new visual identity and site design, and welcomed Kim and Mattias and Jonatan and Patrik and Rickard and James and Jill into our company! We're now 17 full-time co-workers at Diet Doctor.
We also added many new freelance writers, like Kristie Sullivan, Dr. Evelyne Bourdua-Roy and Anne Mullens. And started our new recipe and documentary videos, with new motion graphics, and got started on our first app, and started our low carb for doctors site, and many other things - like getting started on our carousel for videos and recipes, launching and improving our low-carb and keto meal planner, and got ready to (very soon) move to our first truly amazing Stockholm office, where we can work even more effectively for you.
This is all due to the fantastic work and dedication of our whole team, and the invaluable support of our 40,000+ members (there's no way we could do this without you), so thank you all!
I think 2018 can become an even more important year, and we aim to empower more people than ever, all around the world, to revolutionize their health.
Things are already starting to happen, and traffic is already up. We just relaunched our 2-week keto challenge, and already more than 10,000 new people have signed up for it, in just a few days. We also had a new visitor record this week: 246,000 people in a single day (just on this English site, not counting our Spanish or Swedish sites).
Already many new members are signing up, and early indications are that even more new members may sign up than last year (which was by far our best ever). We're completely supported by our members, as we show no ads, sell no products and take no industry money. The increasing number of members helps us grow ever faster, adding massive amounts of new rocket fuel to our growth and our ability to change the world for the better.
So what's coming up in 2018? Our site will very soon be updated to a new design, making it more simple and inspiring to find our best content. We have a keto video course coming up any day. We'll soon improve our keto meal planner further, making it simple to save your own collection of personalized plans. A Diet Doctor app is coming up too, during the first half of this year, that I think you'll love. And we have many other projects going on, to truly make low carb and keto simple for people all around the word.
Of course the final result will completely depend on the creativity, dedication and genius of our amazing team, and the fantastic support from our members (thank you!), and I'm truly excited and grateful to be a part of it. Here's to a fantastic 2018 with you all.
Finally, if you have any ideas on how we could improve our site and services further, feel free to leave a comment with your suggestions.
Best,
Andreas
