The OurLocality News newsletter had only 23 subscribers when we decided to withdraw it, on account of the fact the service we used closing down. This was a couple of years ago. Nonetheless the stats were impressive, as these 23 people amplified x 10 the reach of each item, well beyond the immediate readership. The facts and figures:
- publishing since 27 January 2011
- 3289 items of news (not pages as these don’t get syndicated)
- with 35,077 views of those 3289 items
- generating 461,629 clicks back to the site on 2362 items
Our new service runs off WordPress.com’s JetPack.
Give it a try.
How does OurLocality News work? Basically if you publish a post on the platform, the story is automatically syndicated to https://news.ourlocality.org. It stays there until you delete the item or delete your site. Pages on your website are not syndicated, as they are not really designed for news.
