School Spirit Update – June
Posted by schoolspirit on 1 July, 2008
The month of June has just drawn to a close, and once again it’s a bit of positive news regarding my webcomic School Spirit, the hobby that spawned from the primary school musical I wrote, which in turn eventually spawned this blog. While June wasn’t the strongest ever month in regards to number of viewers, it was only a handful off. For the second time running, and the second time ever, it has gathered in 4000 views across a single month, which turns out to be an average of about 130 views a day, and about 900 views each week. While for four years of input, effort and continual regular production these numbers may not be fantastic (it can frustrate you when you see relatively new strips pop up and apparently gather these sorts of figures – and not be as good as yours – my opinion, granted!), it means the strip is moving along now on its own, which is a bit of good news, eh?
July begins today, and while I’d love to see it continue to grow each month, I’ll be happy to see it break through that 4000 mark a third time running. Let it settle a bit before I start entertaining thoughts of 5000, eh?
Back with more over the next few days, and this time focusing more on teaching and education themes again. Holidays have just started and reports and parent / teacher interviews are all done now, so there’s probably more time to share around again.

Even though the number of views aren’t so good, the people who do read it (i.e me) enjoy the comic very much. Your work isnt going to waste. Frankly, its nice to see some “real Aussie” stuff now. The true blue aussies are a dying breed.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not overly concerned about a small group of people reading it. I know those who are reading it are reading it for what it is and clearly understand what the strip’s trying to do. I’m happy with the strip’s nice, genre and calibre of reader.

Completely unrelated, but how can it be “country Victoria” if it’s a city of 20,000?

I don’t live there. I live fifteen minutes out and halfway up the mountain.
And okay, it’s rural. It’s not metropolitan, so that makes it country. Call it Regional then. :p
