Photojojo 1 Year in: 68,000 Subscribers

Photojojo turned 1 year old on April 1st and I’m pleased as punch to report that we’ve now surpassed 68,000 email and RSS subscribers to our kick-ass photography newsletter. Whew!

And according to Technorati, we’re currently ranked #549 out of all blogs. This stuff is pretty volatile, and I was psyched when we broke the top 1,000 blogs a couple months ago. Considering the fact that there are a bajillion blogs, we publish relatively rarely (just twice a week), and we’re not even technically a blog, it’s pretty awesome.

This month also marks the first where where I’m going to be moving the majority of newsletter writing work to others. I’ll still be editing and selecting stories, but my goal is to do less of the writing and focus more on other aspects of the business.

I’m really excited for the opportunity to focus on some Photojojo projects that have been in the slow cooker for a while now, as well as a couple non-Photojojo projects I’ve underway.
