2017 is coming to an end, a year that has seen the consolidation of the blog, both in terms of visits and subscribers. This last week of the year is a good time to take a look back<\/strong>, both at the most significant figures and the most-read content. <\/p>\n

Throughout this year, I have continued to publish every week, except in September, with only two publications, and October, when I did not publish anything due to the wonderful news of the arrival of my daughter<\/a>. Despite this, visits have held steady, and upon returning in November, the growth trend has continued. <\/p>\n

This year I also published the first two posts in English about fake festivals and pseudo-festivals<\/a>, and on a technical level, I have moved to a more powerful server to improve the website’s performance and security.<\/p>\n

This is the evolution of monthly visits<\/strong> during 2016 and 2017:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From June to October of this year, visits have remained very stable<\/strong>, despite the summer and the autumn break, demonstrating the good positioning achieved, which I believe is mainly due to regularity and sharing high-value content.<\/p>\n

In November, 7,823 visits were reached, compared to 4,583 in the same month the previous year, and we have exceeded 700 email subscribers. The list of festivals I published last week<\/a> has already been downloaded more than 100 times. Currently, there are 169 articles published, and it has been more than 5 years since April 2012. <\/p>\n

But, without a doubt, the best part has been the comments and messages of thanks from many of the followers<\/strong>, and seeing how it is helping directors and producers distribute their own films, as well as festival programmers and directors.<\/p>\n

The most-read posts in 2017<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this year-end summary, the classic review of the most visited posts<\/strong> could not be missing, but this time I have only considered articles published this year. Here are 10 posts ordered by number of visits: <\/p>\n

#1 Embedding subtitles: How to change the format using HandBrake<\/a><\/strong>
\n#2 What\u2019s going on with screenplay competitions?<\/a><\/strong>
\n#3 16 award-winning documentary short films at festivals not to be missed in 2017<\/a><\/strong>
\n#4 The 5 festival distribution mistakes you should avoid<\/a><\/strong>
\n#5 How much does it cost to run a short film through festivals?<\/a><\/strong>
\n#6 Festivals that help with funding: awards for short film projects<\/a><\/strong>
\n#7 After fake festivals: analyzing pseudo-festivals<\/a><\/strong>
\n#8 Class A festivals to premiere your debut feature<\/a><\/strong>
\n#9 What are Class A festivals?<\/a><\/strong>
\n#10 7 festival lists you should know about<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

For 2018, I am preparing new content, and I hope to maintain the pace of these past years.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for being there!<\/strong><\/p>\n

See you in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
