Wrapping up the first week!

Tzipiyah.com has been open for just one week. Already, we have had several high quality posts by a number of writers. We have maintained an average of 100 unique visitors per day. (This average includes lower numbers on Friday and Saturday because of Shabbat). We have had 350 page views per day!

All of that in one week! I think this first week is clearly representative of the need for a website like Tzipiyah.com where young bloggers can use the power of Web 2.0 to express the ideals of religious zionism in a less formal structure. I have received numerous emails and comments expressing gratitude for the opening of this website. Many people have already spoken of the inspiration which this website has brought them.

All of this, in one week, with so little advertisement and so little money.

In terms of advertisement, it has mostly been limited to word of mouth an around 30$ of donations collected until now. This represents extremely low resources!

In terms of money, as stated, we have been running with only 30$ of donations. The starting capital was provided solely by me and the advertising is not done through donations.

I think this first week is not only encouraging for Tzipiyah.com but also instills a sense of responsibility into all of its writers who now realize how much of an effect they can have. There was a real need and demand for such a project.

In order to help more Jews continue to discover the light radiated by Tzipiyah.com, I would like to ask all of our already loyal readers to get the word out! Share our website on your Facebook, tell friend's about it, send some of our posts to your email list (and link back to them), send a link to all your friends, mention us in your newsletters/newspapers/websites etc...

Also, every person who can contribute financially will be of great help. All donations will help! Donations as low as 5$ can help us bring the light of the Torahs shared here to numerous people. Of course, the more you give, the more we will be able to spread. Donations can be given through the button on your right or on this page .

With your generous help, whether modest or substantial, Tzipiyah will continue to grow and attract many more readers: If after a week we average 100 visitors per day (including Shabbat which has almost no visitors), it won't be long until the Torahs shared here will inspire thousands of people each day. With your help, this amazing project will keep growing exponentially.
