I was thinking that it be would good for me to post the results of my survey a few months ago.
If you remember, I had asked my list of thought-of-the-day subscribers (close to 15,000 people now!) to answer a few questions.
See below for the interesting results.
1. What do you like seeing at happypublishing.com?
Quotes 95.33%
Articles 37.38%
Personal adventures 26.64%
Book reviews 22.90%
2. What would you like to see more of?
A daily quote by email (ie. not just 2 days per week) 71.29%
A great free ebook full of top-notch quotations 50.72%
More top-10 lists of quotes on the blog 33.01%
Product reviews (ie. motivational books, videos, etc) 29.67%
3. How often do you like seeing the thought-of-the-day by email?
7 days a week 34.27%
Monday to Friday only 23.94%
3 or 4 times; random is ok with me! 21.13%
Twice per week is fine 20.19%
(note: this is why I keep talking about sending out a quick quote each day; the majority of people want me to email more often than my current schedule of twice per week)
4. I am thinking about reviewing some self-help type products for sale. If I occasionally talk about products for sale in the thought of the day, what would you like to hear about:
Inspirational non-fiction books (ebooks) 41.12%
Motivational posters 38.32%
Motivational software, like calendars and planning/goal tools 32.24%
Inspirational music 30.37%
Inspirational fiction books 25.70%
Inspirational recordings, podcasts, speeches, videos 25.70%
Nothing, I don’t want to hear about anything for sale 23.36%
Make money online or work from home information 21.03%
Lose weight information/products 14.49%
Dating subjects 5.14%
I find a lot of these last answers very surprising, don’t you? I will be starting “sections” of this blog to report on a lot of those areas…over time. Look up in the top right area of this blog, under “Pages”. I already have the “motivational posters” (link removed for now) and “motivational videos” section. Lots more work to do!!
Any other suggestions? Feel free to share your comments below.

I want that you should send me mail everyday. Your all quotes are really good.
Thanks,

Your quote are really inspiring can you please I want you to mail me everyday. I wish you God’s Blessings.
I think one or two quotes per email is better but send it everyday. This way, we don’t have to be fascinated all at once with 10 or more quotes at one time…not that it’s a bad thing. It’s just that a quote a day helps people (at least me) digest fairly easily rather than…a heart attack of 20 (even though they’re inspiring) quotes.
i m hoping 2 have earliest reply 2 start,rather contiue d process…………..
