Welcome Mumbai Mirror Readers

Yesterday one of our Indian readers emailed me to let me know that Daily Blog Tips had appeared on Tuesday’s edition of the Mumbai Mirror. I was quite surprised, as this is probably the biggest mainstream coverage I have had. The blog had been mentioned on some small newspapers and magazines, but the Mumbai Mirror has a circulation of around 1.5 million people according to Wikipedia.

Here is a screenshot of the digital version:

If you are visiting this blog for the first time after seeing it on the newspaper, welcome! The “Categories” on the left sidebar should give you a good idea of the topics I cover, and if you want to get a quick glimpse of all the stuff already published on the blog check the Archives.

Last time I checked India represented almost 4% of my traffic. I find it flattering, given that Indians are among the most tech-savvy people in the world.

    Hmm…. I did not see DBT in the paper! But then, the paper does not circulate here(exactly 1414.44 km away from Mumbai! ;-) )

    Congrats on appearing in such a big publication.

    I am also an Indian and a regular reader of DBT for more than 1 year.

    Indians are among the most tech-savvy people in the world.

    Indeed! :-D

    I saw the blog featured and therefore came here, a very new reader. Your blog looks very interesting. As I have only recently started my own blog, I hope to improve by the tips here. Thanks very much for them. And congratulations for being featured in the paper.

    Indians the most tech-savvy people? Of course! We know every gadget by heart. Better stop bragging I suppose… :D

    Hey Daniel,

    It feels cool to know that I’m one of your Indian Fans that has been reading DBTs daily, long before it appeared in Mumbai Mirror. Yayy! I’m one of the seniors… :-D

  20. Ajay on October 31st, 2009 4:24 pm

    Congratulations. Did you notice a spike in traffic because of this?

    Me for one, didn’t notice any such thing when I had one article featured, of course it wasn’t so mainstream. It was a movie review

  21. Mighty on October 31st, 2009 11:51 pm

    Congratulations for this! :) This shows that lots of people benefit from your posts.

  22. Lia Qistina on November 2nd, 2009 3:22 am

    My Indian friends here in Malaysia , most of them are tech-savvy guys.

    Congrats!

    Many of your posts are very helpful..thank you.

  23. Manny on November 2nd, 2009 6:49 am

    Hi.
    Noticed your site on Mumbai Mirror.
    I am reading up every article on your blog, and i love the content.
    I have a blog, and there is a lot i can learn here… :)
    Keep up the good work!

  24. Eric C on November 2nd, 2009 3:25 pm

    Congrats Daniel!

    One thing I would say is that “old media” is still a powerful source of publicity. I think we tend to forget that from time to time. It is especially useful for writers of non-tip based blogging.

  25. Vishal Sanjay on November 11th, 2009 2:08 pm

    Well i guess 4% of your traffic comes from india not due to its tech savvy people, but due to its high population. Most indians have no idea that they can make money online. Well yes india is getting a bit tech savvy but not a lot.

Got something to say?
