Friday Q&A: Can You Help Us?

Hidden by Melina Meza

Q: Baxter and I would very much like to write a book on “Yoga for Healthy Aging” in the near future. And we’re betting that a lot of you would also like to see to a book on that topic by the two of us, along with input from our crew of regulars.

However, recent discussions with an agent and a publisher made us realize that these days publishers expect you to “bring your audience along with you.” So when you write a book proposal or pitch an agent, you actually have to give provide all your numbers, including your blog subscribers and numbers of hits, Facebook followers, and so on. And while we love all the subscribers and readers that we already have, we both feel our blog has the potential to reach a much larger audience. Recently we received this lovely message from a reader:

"Just a note to thank you all at YFHA for the helpful content you publish; it's no understatement to say that your site is, I feel, one if the top five yoga resources on the web - a true hidden gem."

So how about it, dear reader? If we promise to continue being a “gem,” will you help us out come out of hiding and find a larger audience for our blog?

A: If your answer is yes, you can help by trying to get as many of your family members, friends, students, coworkers, etc. turned on to the blog. You can do this by sending email links to our posts and sharing links on Facebook and Twitter, asking the people you’re sharing with to do the same. If you’re a yoga teacher and it feels right to you, talk about our blog to your students and encourage them to become subscribers.

Finally, we’re open to your suggestions! So if you have any ideas, let us know either by commenting on this post or using the Contact Us tab at the top of the page.

(We have already outlined the book by the way, and we’re both feeling pretty excited it!)
