Ready To Accept Advertising

graph A big thank you to every one that completed my reader survey! I’m compiling statistics for my media kit so I can ask for advertising, sponsorship, plus have a better idea of who my target market is.

Random.org picked #12 so congrats to sandbar86! I’ll e-mail you to confirm your address and get your Amazon gift card to you soon.

Gender: 88% Female [I'm surprised that 12% of my readers are male!]
Age: 32 % in their twenties and 40% in their thirties [actually a bit younger than I was guessing, but it's quite all right.]
Education: 40% have some college and 28% have finished college [17% finished college and have more schooling! Maybe I should start using bigger words.]
Marital Status: 72% are married [as expected]
Children: over 50% have children between the ages of 1 and 10 years [this is about what I expected also]
Employment: 44% work outside the home and 30% are homemakers; 11% work from home [I was a tad surprised at this one. I didn't think it through very well. There's a whopping 15% that don't have a job right now]
Location: All across the U.S. with a few in Canada and Europe [the most exotic location listed is kuala lumpur and the most popular state is PA, of course]
Online activities: 95% read blogs, 93% check email every day; 50% use Twitter and 75% use Facebook [Obviously my readers love the 'net!]

So, if there’s anyone out there that wants to put an ad on my site e-mail jendi at jendisjournal dot com and I’ll send you my media kit.

I also want to say thank you to those of you who left nice comments at the end of the survey. You are wonderful readers!

Here’s my very favorite comment:

I like reading your blog because it loads in fast, its design is clear and uncluttered and of course you have interesting things to share – and you don’t take too long to do it. Your posts are like either mini-power-boosts or refreshing mini-breaks, depending on the content.

Another friend said, “How many questions did it take for you to figure out who I am – did the kids give it away?” Well, umm… I had to go back and connect the questions after I saw your comment. I was just looking at answers by question instead of by person.
