Thankfully, that's what the end of 2015 is for. I have compiled a list of the eight standard posts that received less than ten views over the course of the year. I excluded Sunday Snapshots and Throwback Thursdays from the final list, which were given much less marketing focus earlier in the year.
8.) 9 views. June 2. Thinkjoust Tuesday: Pie vs. Cake
I was actually surprised this Thinkjoust was the lowest of the low in terms of pageviews. My entire life, I have staunchly perpetuated what I believe to be one of the most important debates in our political sphere right now. Even though pie and cake both have their strengths, I firmly believe pie is the better dessert. Once the ultimate identity of cheesecake is understood, I believe that will be the ultimate decider in the debate.
For some reason, I never reported which side won this particular debate, though I think cake was this readership's top choice. You traitors.
I have noticed that posts with 'boring' photos don't receive a lot of views, no matter how relevant the photos are.
Of course, the photo for this post isn't super relevant as it is. The original post mainly discussed how I've changed over the years, and how my affinity for driving has proven that. Still, it's a good message, and one I would highly recommend reading.
6.) 9 views. April 1. Teamwork: eSport Tournament
There is a serious controversy brewing among hardcore gamers regarding how seriously people take them. I have a hardcore gamer mentality, but I rarely play video games anymore and don't have any of my own. As it is, I am more of a biased bystander in the debate, though I definitely see points to both sides. If you want to know what I'm talking about, watch this video from Game Theory: Leave PewDiePie ALONE!
Regardless, I suspect this post's lack of views has much to do with at least one side of the debate.
5.) 9 views. March 31. Fighting Back: Ill Week
This is mainly a motivational post about how I didn't let my illness define my activities for the week. I feel like the picture is pretty cool, personally, especially how it combines the themes of shining your light and Christ. I don't know why it didn't receive a lot of views, but I recommend you read it anyway!
I guess people don't really like hearing about sicknesses, though, so there's that.
4.) 8 views. July 8. Another Thank You: 400 days & 12,000 views
Most of my commemorative posts don't receive a lot of views or love. I just want to thank you guys! Let me thank you! It's all right, though. I suppose those kinds of posts are why you come to Change and Cherish, anyway!
3.) 8 views. February 21. Adversity: Changed Perspective
Another optimistic post for ya, this one is unique in that it talks about how using your agency to change your attitude takes you far. I suspect this post didn't receive a lot of views because first, it doesn't have a super exciting picture, and two, it was marketed as the second part to the post from the day before. People who didn't read the earlier post probably weren't interested in reading this. Either way, it does stand on its own, so give it a try!
2.) 7 views. July 29. Weaknesses: Terrible Repair Job
This post had a pretty boring picture, too, and even I'll admit I got lost while trying to determine how the post's message matched the beginning scene. Either way, head over to the post and leave a comment if you agreed that this post should be kept buried in the archive forever.
1.) 4 views. March 30. Weak Things (Poem)
I find the placement of this post to be interesting. After all, according to the poll that's currently over there on the right, my poetry posts are the most popular posts. I've always felt like my poetry posts are difficult to market, and generally don't receive very high views, but I think that's because I have a hard time finding correlating pictures. Either way, with only four views to date, comes my poem Weak Things. Give it a read! Comment below if you think this post should have received more views!
Well, that's that! I hope you enjoy them!
