August was the best month to date for the Small Investor – Thank You! With over 4000 views and many new people discovering the site and subscribing, things are really starting to happen. Also, I’ve noticed a large number of shared articles. I’m hopeful this is helping people out there who are interested in gettign started in investing and building wealth. As a society we would all be a lot better off with more people who were self-sufficient financially.
Probably the only thing still lagging on the site is comments. Perhaps the site isn’t as conversational as some, which doesn’t lend itself to comments. I really do appreciate those of you who have been commenting, however. Please keep them coming. And I really don’t care if you disagree with me. If I’m wrong or missing a key point, please feel free to chime in. I certainly don’t have all of the answers.
For those looking to start a personal finance blog, here is a history of my page views for the last four years. You might see the same sort of growth, although there are certainly some that grow a lot faster.
