Another important point, it is not just the count that ..um.. counts. Rightly or wrongly though people will infer certain assumptions from all aspects of your blog. And by the way, you should have one extra tomorrow (me!) :) I don’t think it is to be ashamed of, everybody has a low count to start with.

By most accounts, ten readers for a six-week-old blog isn't spectacular, but is the implication here that it should be a source of embarrassment; something I should hide away because it can't compare to what the "big boys" have? As I said in my own response to Maki's questions, I don't see it that way at all. <a href="http://raygunrobot.com/archives/Feed-subscriber-counts-On-being-reduced-to-a-number">http://raygunrobot.com/archives/Feed...</a> With regards to the comments on your linked entry about only showing the widget (ugh, I hate that word “chicklet”) when the reader count is over 100 readers… I’ve currently got ten readers (not counting myself), and I display my number proudly.

Another way to gain attention is to create other smaller web projects (sitelets, games, resource directories, etc) that are simply endorsed by your blog. I like to think of them as gifts to the community. Seems to me that the best way to get people to love you is to reward them for the attention they give you, right there in the moment they give it.

I have to say, the Killer Flagship eBook was a great way to promote feed subscriptions. I was one of the greedy ones who signed up because I wanted to read it. :) And I'm glad I stayed after that!
