We would say this is not a review, but it is, so here goes a shallow dive into our current growth story.
TINAR on WordPress started around March 2024: First blog post.
By the end of December 2024: We had ~180 total views. A quiet first year, establishing tone, voice, and identity.
Between 1 January 2025 and 28th October 2025, TINAR recorded:
- 2,458 total views: making that 14× the entire first year, in just under 10 months with purely organic growth, no paid ads, and no amplification, just daily writing and publishing between January 2025 and October 2025.
Moving along, the last four months (Detailed Growth Breakdown above) show a consistent upward trajectory, which matters more than large numbers as we try to get the consistency and routine right enough to launch a standalone platform.
I am very proud of the efforts made with this platform :
July 2025:
- 351 views
- +34 views (+11%)
August 2025:
- 343 views
- -8 views (–2%)
- A small dip, we had a grid failure in the area, which affected connectivity. It was also the holiday, which is a normal slow-down for holiday periods, workload cycles, or news trends.
September 2025:
- 493 views
- +150 views (+44%)
- Huge growth, the strongest increase so far, perhaps this was the month that solidified the next few steps.
October 2025:
- 570 views
- +77 views (+16%)
- Continued upward trend after September spike
With 1,757 views from July–Oct 2025 alone, this shows a clear upward pattern. With an average of ~439 monthly views over 4 months. 3 out of the 4 months show positive growth with September and October, indicating accelerating readership.
TINAR is evolving from a reflective blog into a consistent digital publication, and I am very scared or anxious with excitement.
As the hopes of building on a brand identity that probes thinking beyond the framework mount, growing into a platform known for it’s thoughtful tone, curated hard conversations, an aspirationally clean editorial identity, and a visible commitment to daily storytelling is perhaps the thrill of it all.
