I often joke that I have the #1 amateur radio blog. That is to say when you type “amateur radio blog” or “ham radio blog” into Google—if you live in the United States, anyway—I am the #1 result.
Well, imagine my chagrin at being #262,054 on the Amazon Kindle best-seller list. That’s right, KB6NU.Com ranks #262,054 on Amazon.
To be honest, I’m amazed that I rank at all. It was on a lark that I listed my blog on Amazon a couple of months ago. I was amused about a month and ago when I found that someone had actually paid good money ($1.99/month) to get my blog on their Kindle. Today, when I checked, I was flabbergasted to find that I actually have twelve paying subscribers and four who have signed up for a free trial.
I’m not only flabbergasted, but encouraged. So much so, that I want to reach #250,000 by the end of the year. I’ll continue to provide interesting and useful content, but I need your help. You don’t have to actually purchase the blog, but please visit the KB6NU.Com Amazon page and enter a comment there. Maybe if more people gave KB6NU.Com a positive review, more people would become subscribers.
UPDATE 11/7/11
I just ran across this post while searching for something else, and I thought I’d check my Amazon ranking. Whadda ya know? I’m up to #247,260 now! So, I met goal #1, to get to #250,000 by the end of the year? Might #225,000 be possible by the end of January 2012? I don’t know, but that’s what I’m shooting for.
