SURVEY RESULTS

Thanks so much for taking the survey that I posted last week, you guys! You have no idea how helpful it is to get your feedback.

Sometimes, as a blogger, it can feel like you're just putting stuff out into the world of "The Internets" and not getting any response. It's hard to gauge what people are liking and not liking without doing some type of formal survey, which is why I put one out every so often - thank you for your help!

If you are interested in the results of the survey, here's a summary of what I learned about you lovely ladies.

Most of you...

1. are between the ages of 18 and 24.

2. have been reading my blog / watching my youtube channel for 3-11 months.

3. found my blog through the Charm & Gumption website or Youtube (I found this surprising, as the youtube channel is quite new).

4. follow along through a blog reader, instagram, or youtube.

5. enjoy reading about small business tips, decorating, and style the most.

6. would like to see more small business tips, decorating, and personal posts.

7. didn't have any specific topic that you'd like to see less of (yay!).

8. think that the frequency of my posts is just right (yay!).

9. like having videos to go along with posts, at least some of the time.

10. stay updated with youtube or a blog reader.

There are a few changes that  I will be making in response to your feedback:

• I am going to be making an editorial calendar for the first time since I started my blog. Doing this will allow me to balance out the topics that I cover by seeing in advance what the topic will be. This will ensure that I don't cover one topic too many times. Most people seemed to be okay with the topics that I cover, so I just want to make sure that I keep the topics balanced throughout the month.
• I am making a weekly goal of posting on the blog 3 times per week, with one of those posts including a video. This seems to be what you guys are interested in, in terms of frequency and video posts.
• I am going to post a little more of the things that you like: small business tips, decorating, and more about my life and what's going on with me. This was one of the things that I found surprising. I always assume that posting about my life will bore you guys! So thank you for your interest in my life! :)

Thank you guys again for taking the survey, and for your continued support. xo!
