Dear Readers,

Today, 6^th September 2011, Bachhat completes one year of its existence!!

My sincere thanks to all the readers, subscribers and friends for their support and encouragement. 

Over the last one year, Bachhat has tried to simplify personal finance for its readers and shall continue to pursue the same.  Topics ranged from how to invest in mutual funds to which life insurance company to select.  Bachhat has also analysed latest regulations in personal finance space and its impact on you.  After 62 posts on personal finance in last one year, this blog now boost 88 regular subscribers via email and RSS feeds. 

Bachhat endeavors to carry articles of interest to its readers.  Earlier this year, Bachhat introduced a dedicated page on interest rates offered by banks on fixed deposits.  This page is updated biweekly and continues to generate reader’s interest.

I would also like to thank DNA newspaper for publishing articles from this blog in its DNA Money section.

Things I would like to achieve over the next one year:

1.    I would like to be more frequent in blogging.  To speak of numbers, by end of next year, I would like the total number of posts to reach at least 150.  That’s little less than two posts per week.

2.    I would like to cover more topics in personal finance space.  Right now the blog articles are more tilted towards mutual funds and insurance space.  The focus on these topics shall continue, but other personal finance topics shall gather prominence too.

3.    Few more dedicated pages on the blog similar to page on fixed deposit’s interest rates.

4.    Though the site is able to attract readers, their participation rate (via comments, suggestions and sharing on social networking sites) is not encouraging.  I would like to post more relevant articles to increase readers' participation.
5.    Increasing viewership of the blog from current 87 subscribers to 500 in next one year.

6.    Shift out of Blogger to a dedicated website.

Thanks once again for your continued patronage.

 

Do keep commenting on the articles and let me know your suggestions to make this blog more informative and useful.
