“Don’t mistake activity with achievement.” ― John Wooden
I spent most of my Sunday reading time in our publication because there were many topics in my interest areas. I also spent some time on process and procedures to improve the quality of our publication and shared our curated topics with our valued readers.
At the end of the day, when I checked our stats, I am truly pleased with our progress and achievement. In this post, I want to share our milestone achievements.
Milestone Achievements
After a one-day break, we were flooded with new visitors, new followers, new writers, and many high-quality submissions to our publication within the last 24 hours.
We had a record in all our metrics today. I thought it was Sunday and could have been a quiet day, but I am pleasantly surprised with the increased traffic to our publication.
When I checked the publication dashboard an hour ago, we had 5,108 new visitors today. We had a record read time of 13,653 minutes of reading time and 12,986 views in less than 24 hours.
Here is a graphical representation of our two essential metrics:
