It helps me to know what resonates and what I might need to do a better job of promoting. Blogs that get a lot of traffic are the result of people who post about them on their own social media, or refer to them in a workshop they are doing, so if that&#8217;s you, THANK YOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was quite pleased to see a lot of my blogs that have to do with communications, with community relations and with ethics end up in my list of most popular blogs this year &#8211; usually, the list is dominated by blogs related to volunteer engagement, which is fine, but I pour just as much energy into those blogs about outreach, so it&#8217;s nice to see that, this year, that reached a good number of folks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are wondering, I promote my blog through <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jcravens42\">my Twitter account<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JayneCravens\/\">my Facebook account<\/a>, my LinkedIn account, <a href=\"https:\/\/coyotecommunications.com\/coyoteblog\/2019\/10\/subreddits-for-good\/\">some Subreddits<\/a>, and some LinkedIn groups. I&#8217;m a one-person shop and create and promote these resources entirely on my own &#8211; and it&#8217;s getting harder and harder to get my voice out there in a sea of noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visitor numbers are great &#8211; but the emails and comments on resources are what really keep me going, so please keep them coming!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did I write that got people&#8217;s attention in 2019?
