This is up from 11,000 last year. That\u2019s exciting and scary. I appreciate you all very much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 24% of you are 18-24 while 23% are 25-34 and 16% are 35-44 and 14% are 54-54 with the rest of you older than I am. I\u2019m working hard to educate, encourage and inspire the future entrepreneurs in Oregon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 55% of you are female which I feel great about. It\u2019s been a key focus of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is something fascinating, 55% of you are in Oregon when reading the journal with California and Washington making up a majority of the rest. This is important because there are businesses I want to talk about in Northern California but always felt that since we are the Southern Oregon Business Journal it wouldn\u2019t make sense. Now that I have this knowledge you can expect more stories about businesses across borders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ones of you in Oregon are pretty evenly spread around Medford, Portland, Eugene, Ashland, Bend and Salem. I need to work hard at finding readers all over Southern Oregon. I\u2019m surprised by the Portland readers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>59% of you use Chrome and 51% of you are reading this on your mobile device with 45% of you on desktop and the balance on tablets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most read articles in 2021 :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/50-reasons-why-some-businesses-fail-while-others-succeed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">50 reasons why some businesses fail while others succeed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/factors-for-success-in-cooperative-operations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Factors for success in cooperative operations<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/amazon-expands-in-oregon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon expands in Oregon<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/fire-victim-housing-a-progress-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fire Victim Housing : A progress report<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/southernoregonbusiness.com\/75-million-5th-street-public-market-expansion-project-in-eugene-on-track-to-open-fall-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5th Street Public Market Expansion<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Southern Oregon Business Journal is a one man show. I source the content, layout the journal, post the articles on the site and do all the marketing, billing and dancing in this company. This is my side, side hustle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I don\u2019t do it alone. Great writers contribute content, sponsors pay for ads that help me offset costs and readers read and comment and keep me focused on what is important. I appreciate you all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And like I said at the beginning of this story, I\u2019m excited for 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim<br>Jim@SouthernOregonBusiness.com&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m Excited for 2022 I know, I know, it\u2019s the end of the year and I should be reflecting on what happened in 2021, but I have been working on a couple of exciting projects for the journal that will launch in 2022 and I can\u2019t wait for you to see them.&nbsp;
