Hello Autostraddle Plus members! As some of our most passionate patriots, we thought you might enjoy a peek behind the curtain into the dark annals of numbers, charts, graphs and figures about how this little light of ours fared in 2015. We’d like to politely request that you do not share any of these graphics outside of A+ and instead enjoy them only here on this page right now with us as a family! Okay? We brought hot fudge and vegan apples.

Social Media

Social media rules everything around us. Google searches used to be the main method by which people found content on websites, but this year, that changed and now SOCIAL IS KING! I have weird feelings about this in general that I talk about fairly incessantly in my Business of Art fix. Anyhow, it’s really interesting to look at what posts perform well on different platforms.

Thank you for enabling us to exist this year! We hope that when we do this again next year there’ll be about 500 more of you right here, right in this spot, believing in us and the importance of independent, woman-owned-and-operated media.
