The Year of The Blog

FunnyBusiness is one year old today. So here are some highlights of my very bloggy year.

Open-Toed Shoes is by far my most popular post. I didn't have a theory why this post on business dress code trends was so popular until I posted Big Butts Need Not Apply --this entry was about fat discrimination in the workplace. For a while this was an extremely popular post.

That's when it occurred to me that possibly people weren't reading about Open Toed shoes for dress code information but because of a foot fetish.

So my big learning from a year of blogging is that the foot fetish is an under-reported phenomenon.

The foot fetish is actually a lot more common than we think. The most recent statistics say that about 1.14% of the population has a liking for feet, which is roughly more than 68 million people worldwide. About one and a half million of these foot fetishists reside in the United States. These numbers are pretty staggering considering that society labels feet as being a taboo body area, and foot fetishists as being freaks. We generally think of feet as being dirty and ugly. People that are aroused by feet are really not that much different than people who are turned on by things like big breasts or long legs, they are just not related to as easily. If people in society could truly understand the desires of a foot lover then perhaps the whole foot fetish would become more accepted.

I also learned  that ENTJs really like themselves, that having a brother with a popular blog  and being listed as a recommended blog by Guardian Unlimited,can be wonderful traffic builder.

I learned that more people in England and western Europe read this blog than people in the mountain time zone--thank you sitemeter.

And while I don't even track my revenue from Google Ads because it's so pathetic, I am optimistic that one day this blog will produce revenue.
If I just knew how to do that.....
