I got home from my first Blissdom Conference experience ever this morning and after a long, long nap (think 5 hours!), I started reflecting some more on what I took away from this incredible trip. I won’t go into detail in this post as I have a few Blissdom-related posts scheduled for the upcoming week, but I will share with you one key point that was made at the conference:
Our readers matter!
Yes, it’s important to write about what matters to you, the voice behind the blog, and to share your passions and talents with others, but it’s great to know what your audience enjoys too. Finding this out will allow you to write about your interests, but tailor them to your readers thereby allowing both of you to enjoy the blog experience!
Because my readers and their opinions matter to me, I’m asking if you’d take 4 minutes to complete a very brief, 8 question survey (most of which are multiple choice!) so I can find out what matters to you when it comes to your blog-reading experiences.
My Readers Matter Poll
(If you are having trouble with the link/it doesn’t work, PLEASE let me know!)
It takes only moments and passes on very helpful information. Stay tuned for my “live-vicariously-through-me” Blissdom posts this week, rounded out at the end of the week by the first review/giveaway of my “4 You February” campaign!

Just FYI, I just tried to take your poll and it said, “oops, 404 error.” ???

I took the survey. Hope it helps. You are not wasting anytime on implementing what you learned. That’s smart!
I had a nice tickle fest with my daughter. She could not stop hugging me, and I loved it:)

How smart to get that reader survey up right away! No wonder you are getting so many bloggy kudos. I’m still upset that we didn’t meet but at least we connect online… until next time!

You are so sweet and just made my morning with your kind words! I just posted on yours that we WILL definitely meet at the next conference. Definitely on my “to do” list. Until then, thank goodness for being able to connect in these great blog/Twitter communities!

Since I wasn’t able to make Blissdom I love reading about what everybody else learned and try to apply it to me and my blog. Your survey was awesome and I couldn’t wait to make my own. I linked back to you too so hopefully you will get some more readers to take your survey too. Thanks for sharing! You are in my reader and I can’t wait to get to know you better! Blog on.
