We first starting posting articles in November 2011, and received our first email subscribers in the beginning of Q2 2012. Our first blog post was in November, 2011 at which point we obviously had zero subscribers. Over the next year and a half we picked up a few subscribers here and there and at the beginning of 2013 we had just over 100 signed up email subscribers to http://blog.mktg4thefuture.com  Today we are proud to have over 3,500 email subscribers, and we continue to grow our traffic via search engines, social media, and our proven marketing tactics every day.
