Tomorrow, October 31, 2010, will mark my third full year of writing as Dividends4Life. It is hard to believe another year has passed. Like the first two years, it has been a wonderful and eventful year. Looking back so much has changed since last year's anniversary post. Below are some of the more notable changes:Dividends4Life.com Reborn
Last year I transitioned my primary blog from Dividends4Life.com to DividendsValue.com. Eventually, I thought the old Dividends4Life site would dry up and die, but it didn't happen. This year I began posting interesting dividend news on the site twice daily. In a very short time the site has developed a loyal and growing following. Since the conversion, the site has seen over 10,000 page loads each month and more than 350 RSS/Email readers. If you haven't visited the new Dividends4Life site click here to check it out and you can subscribe by Email or RSS.D4L-Premium Services
On July 9, 2009, Dividends Value began offering D4L-Premium Services as premium content for serious dividend investors. At the time I hoped to get 20-30 subscribers as my break-even target. It has surpassed all my expectations. Last October D4L-Premium Services had 70 active subscribers. It has now grown to over 260 active subscribers.During the past year we have introduced new features such as D4L-Data and the D4L-Newsletter. At the request of several subscribers, this January we began offering a discounted annual subscription. Click here for more information on the D4L-Premium Services.
Amazing Growth
As mentioned in Pocket Change Portfolio, I never expected Dividends4Life go anywhere and certainly didn't expect the growth I have seen over the past three years. Since last October, Dividends Value has averaged over 105,000 page loads per month with a high of 140,371 last January. Our Email/RSS subscriptions have grown from 1,500 subscribers to over 2,300. Dividends Value's articles are syndicated on several sites, many of which have a large number of followers such as Seeking Alpha with over 34,000 readers following me. I continue to be amazed and humbled at how far these sites have come.Thanks!
Many thanks to all those that take time from their busy schedule to spend a few minutes with me each week!There have been so many kind people that I have got to know as a result of my writing. I appreciate all who have faithfully read, commented and supported my sites over the last three years. I am truly excited about the upcoming year.
Best Wishes To All,
D4L
