New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Nearly three years ago, I started NewBedfordGuide.com. The idea was to provide New Bedford area residents with a source of information on local events, news and to produce magazine style articles. I consider New Bedford Guide to be a cross between a blog and a magazine. Really, it’s “citizen journalism” at its finest. With a few dozen writers contributing to its success, New Bedford Guide has become one of the main sources of information for New Bedford residents reaching 30,000 readers each month.
One of the primary ways I disseminate New Bedford Guide articles and other important information is through our Facebook page. This week, New Bedford Guide’s Facebook page hit a MAJOR milestone of 10,000 fans. I’d like to personally thank all of the “fans” of New Bedford Guide for helping us reach this milestone. New Bedford Guide’s Facebook page has become the most active Facebook page in the Southcoast, Massachusetts area thanks to the active users of the page. Without the likes, sharing and comments by its user/fan base, the page could not have reached this milestone.
My goal for 2013 is to triple the amount of original articles and get our Facebook page to 20,000 fans by year end. This can only be done with YOUR help. Let your friends and family on Facebook know about us, and if we post content that you like, give it a like and/or share to disseminate the information to the widest audience possible. New Bedford has over 93,000 residents and we have 10,000 followers, so there is still plenty of room for growth. Thanks again for helping us achieve this major milestone and I look forward to bringing you some great articles in 2013!
