The 100 Flowers Campaign
(no one will die however)
In the past 6 weeks, the Good Looking Loser Community has enjoyed what is equivalent to our own little Golden Era.
Traffic is at consistent record highs, for both Good Looking Loser and Lifestyle by Good Looking Loser (GLL-GetALife.com) and reader engagement is an all-time high.
Now, before I start using any recent momentum to start coasting (yeah, right), I want to hear what we can be doing better, as well as what you like about our community.
The former is always more appealing to most people however. :-)
I'm highly encouraging readers to drop their own constructive criticism of the Good Looking Loser community, as well as expressing what they would like to see more of.
Before you drop any constructive feedback, I'd like to remind you of a few things -
Outside of some posts by our wise contributors, I literally write every single discussion, paragraph, sentence, word and letter of every post on Good Looking Loser.
It's simply not practical to generate massive amounts of quality content without adequate time.
I'm hardly short on ideas and topics to cover, but it needs to be done in due time.
There's plenty on our agenda that you can expect and don't have to request, including but not limited to -
- Additional high-quality "Get Paid" content
- Approach Anxiety Program 2.0 (free)
- A Good Looking Loser Mobile App that is way better than the first one
- Relationships (committed and non-committed)
- "Party or Club Game"
- Additional information on anabolic steroids (Get Juiced)
- Additional information on diet and exercise
- Kratom lifestyle
- A forum constitution to ban trolls and excessive "PUA" talk
- Podcasts(?)
Unfortunately, I don't can't have any sort of strict order for this content.
I basically discuss whatever I'm thinking about and that day/week.
I've pretty much done that from start and anytime I stray from that approach - I write uninspiring garbage that makes me want to unsubscribe from the blog.
Also, I've had to stop issuing deadlines for projects/posts because I've successfully frustrated everyone by not delivering.
Good writers can meet deadlines with inadequate amounts amounts of time.
I'm not a good writer.
Please leave your constructive criticism below.
(and what you like)
I encourage it.
note: our webmaster first reads and approves all the comments and will delete hateful messages. I don't even get the chance to see them, so it's not worth your time, go be productive instead.
Happy Hippo Credit Card Update
As I've mentioned and had to retract way too often, Happy Hippo is acquiring a credit card processor and the job should have been done a month ago.
Puddles actually acquired the processor about 2 weeks ago.
I've already signed the contract.
Puddles turns dark red when he is upset.
Our webteam (and the bank and USA-based payment gateway) literally worked on it day and night last week. The matter has been so pressing that the Chief Technical Officer took over the project last Friday.
It's completely ridiculous, I know.
Why can't we just install this in 30 minutes like every other site?
You have no idea how frustrated I am.
Coordinating efforts with different time zones has been beyond difficult - to say the least.
I appreciate everyone that has put up with our awful current payment options - Dwolla and Popmoney.
(email HappyHippoHelper -at- Live dot com for a faster/instant payment method if you need to, make sure you call it "Internet Start Up Kit" when you submit payment)
We will have this up as soon as it's working 100% and we trust it to take care of you guys.
Hopefully this week.
Possibly today.
But no promises - I've been wrong every single time I've said "we got it!"
Anyway, drop your feedback (positive and negative) below and thank you for reading.
I love you.
