Yesterday, I counted down the top five most popular posts of the year, and today I wanted to recognize a few people that really helped our little blog be seen/read this year. Â While we do get a fair amount of traffic from our own sources (Subscribers, Facebook, Networked blogs, heck–we were even Googled nearly 5000 times this year), a lot of our readership comes from referrals–specifically these top 5 sites and people:
5. Â Lindsey from Better After. Â This girl posts incredible before and afters multiple times a day. Â She has featured two of our projects this year which was a huge honor. Â You should definitely check out this blog. Â I am astounded and inspired at the things people can do with junk.
4. Â Meagan from Meagan Tells All. Â Meagan is one of my very best friends and is my blogging cheerleader–which, btw, every blogger needs one of those. Â Her husband is in Law School, they have the cutest little girl, she is at the tail end of a molar pregnancy and she can do amazing things with some fabric and her sewing machine. Â Fortunately for us, she is also a blogger.
3. Â Beckie at Knock Off Decor. Â The entire blog is dedicated to showcasing the amazing work of some seriously talented designers while giving those with less of a budget a chance to mimic them. Â Definitely something to check out before forking out loads of cash at the stores for something you can DIY. Â We successfully landed a few spots among those featured on her blog.
2. Â Pinterest. Â I am in awe at the traffic source Pinterest has been for us. Â It is the most rewarding/humbling/crazy thing to see your work pinned. Â We all love Pinterest. Â ‘Nough said.
1. Â John and Sherry from Young House Love. Â Definitely my favorite blog ever and a huge inspiration to Chris and I as we tackle our own home renovations. Â I pretty much consider them celebrities, so the fact that they referred around 10,000 readers to our blog this year, makes me blush. Â Read their blog and be hooked. Â You won’t regret it.
