Thank-you Orble and Orblers

October 10th 2008 06:21
I just wanted to say thank-you to all active Orble bloggers for showing us inactive bloggers that this whole Orble system/site works.

I first signed up over a year ago, and to say the least I was sceptical. However, I made a few posts and recieved good feedback. I was given a domain as promised and proceeded to earn over $5 adsense, and then....

I drifted away. I know it was not the right choice, but I'm just telling you how it was. I should have stuck in like you guys, but sadly didn't, just because I was scared of making posts less than perfect.

In September this year I asked the admin for a dormant domain and was delighted when I was given that domain within 24 hours. (That's one of the reasons why I think Orble is great, I always get a prompt response to any queries ( unlike many sites ).)

I will be posting in my new domain now that I've had a few days tweaking within the next 24 hours, but have a few to thank first, so here goes:

Firstly, thankyou Jon, Charles and Cibby for the excellent support and guidance that you have provided.

Secondly, thankyou to all active bloggers like MelissaA, Postmodern Critic, JohnDoe, Ahmed, katyzzz, Jeanne Dininni, Bryn and many others that have kept me coming back and who have shown us people who are a little bit slow the way.

I tried to post this anonymously not because I am scared of being criticized, but because I don't want this particular post to be self promotional in any way. Please do not visit either of my sites just because of this post.

All The Best

Chris

Thankyou Cibby,

I wish it was as easy as posting with wild abandon...
but unfortunately it's not. When I first started with Orble over a year ago, I thought that.
I got plenty of feedback but made nothing.
After examining several top Orble blogs and other wordpress blogs etc I have realised that there is more to it. I have now created a business plan that should see my blog 1)get noticed, 2) get repeat traffic and 3) make some money.
Since writing the previous post I have been working on ways to bring enough traffic to my site to be paid.
I am replying anon not because I can't sign in but because I don't want to use the writer's forum to promote.

Thank-you Again Cibby

We all have abandoned sites. Some just don't live up to our expections (or their promises). It's so great when we find one we WANT to stick with.
I love Orble, even though I'm new here and I'm lost. I only have one blog but may start another blog if this one works out. So far my traffic is good (better than I expected!).
Good luck with your new venture! I'm here to stay if Orble will have me. I just hope I can figure out how things work here!

Chris - having a plan is definitely a good place to start. When I started, I was only loosely tied to writing reviews, but, over time, I focused the site's attention on film and film festivals. Things have grown rapidly from there....
