In one form or another, I’ve been writing True Life since about 1998. One thing I have never been active about is cultivating my audience.

I still run a Facebook Page that I’d added in 2010 to kind of promote True Life. It still has about 300-350 members, who’s membership had very little to do with my promotional efforts. Usually, it’s a simple matter to share a new page or post to my TrueLife page, and hope for a few clicks-through.

But I’ve never tried to use an email newsletter to build attention and traffic. Maybe it’s time to make an extra effort at promotion and communication.

By now, I think I must have generated enough content for a rich and entertaining reading experience. I’ve now got almost 300 stories and posts on my True Life site, covering experiences from my first twenty years, my family history, and my forays into genealogy.
