The time has come for … the results of the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey!

My loyal readers might remember the survey I conducted a month ago (read the post about it here). I must say that I was disappointed with how few people responded, but am very thankful to those who took the time to answer my 10 easy questions.

Even from the few responses I received, I’ve learned a lot about my readers! Below is an overview of those that make up the majority of Victoria-E.com’s readership:

• Age: 25-35
• Location:  USA (Canada was a close second)
• Children?: Zero
• How do you find out about new posts?: Visit the website regularly (Take the time to add my RSS feed to your feed reader or, even easier, subscribe to the e-mail update list – you’ll get an email featuring each new posts after they go live!)
• What type of posts are your favorite?: Green Living (Green Home and Reviews tied for second place)
• What would you like to see more of?: Green Living, Green Home, Crafts, and Contests all tied for first! (Green Beauty, Reviews, Commentary tied for second)
• Other blogs you read regularly?: Treehugger, Ecorazzi, Accidental Environmentalist, Alternative Consumer, Earth First, Environmental Graffiti, Cute Overload
• If you could add one new feature to Victoria-E.com, what would it be?: Ideas include video, weekly chats, and “reviews of local environmentally-friendly restaurants, clothing boutiques … etc. from around the country.“

There are over 200 people reading this blog on a daily basis.

Only 3 of them have responded to the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey.

What’s that about!?

It will only take you 5 minutes and will help me immensely.

Maybe you just missed my first post about the survey.

If so, all is forgiven – just make sure to take the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey today.

The survey closes at the end of the day.

This is your chance to directly impact the quality and content you find on Victoria-E.com – don’t let is slip away!

Why are you here?

What do you want from me!?

It sounds a bit melodramatic, but that’s the concept behind the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey.

In less than 3 months, Victoria-E.com will be 2 years old. It’s time to share your thoughts on the good, the bad, and the ugly elements of this blog. Let’s make it better than it has ever been!

Featuring 10 simple questions, the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey will take you less than 5 minutes to complete. I like my surveys how I like my news stories – short, simple, and to the point.

This is your chance to directly impact the quality and content you find on Victoria-E.com – don’t let is slip away! The  First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey will only be active for one week. That’s right! Come Monday, July 21st, the survey will be closed and results will be posted on Victoria-E.com for all to peruse.

Once you’ve taken the survey, stop by this post again and add any extra comments you may have about ANY aspect of the site. A few new features are already in the works, including detailed posts about advertisers and more book reviews.

What else do you want to see? This is your time to shine, my readers!

Can you credit yoga for your sanity?

Has your yoga practice influenced your personal or professional lives?

Then I want to talk to you!

I’m currently working on my 4th assignment for Yoga Journal Magazine.

Having worked with the magazine for over a year, I’m always looking for new content to pitch to them.

The front section of YJ is called Om and opens with a profile of a modern yogi who has been influenced by their practice.

Recently, I pitched the work of certified yoga teacher and sustainable artist Tara Hogan. Her profile will be appearing in the November 2008 issue of the magazine.

I’m looking for folks who practice yoga regularly (at least twice a week) and, due to their continued practice, have been influenced personally or professionally – such as fund raising, becoming a yoga teacher, creativity, open a business … etc.

Know of someone who fits this description (maybe even you)? Leave me a comment or send me an email with an overview of their/your story. I’ll contact you to let you know if their/your experience is what the magazine is looking for.

Please note: I CANNOT GUARANTEE your inclusion in Yoga Journal Magazine. That decision is 100% up to the magazine’s editors. I’m happy to pitch your story to them and we’ll see how they react. Thank you for understanding.
