Our team ran a report of our most popular posts for 2015. Data was gathered through:
- Google Analytics (Sessions)
- BuzzSumo (Social Shares)
- Blubrry (Downloads)
Based on the data we gathered, here are some of the things we noticed:
- People love good storytelling. Readers liked our lifestyle design posts. They loved when James got personal in the Life Lessons series. These types of posts were lengthy and had a lot of knowledge tidbits and a lot of the readers played the audio more than once.
- Re-purposing content works. Some of the more popular podcasts were extracts from other mediums, events and interviews which were curated into new podcast episodes.
- People like seeing words like ‘success’, ‘profit’, and ‘grow’ in the headlines which means they want to grow their business, and also want to step back and enjoy life (because they loved the lifestyle posts too). You don’t have to always hustle, grind and destroy yourself to success in business.
- Posts like the “no holy grail” podcast gathered a lot of comments due to its controversial nature and opposing stance to the bad advice in the marketplace.
So enjoy our top posts for the year 2015:
