From 50,000 Readers in Three Years to 50,000 in a Day: The FIFA Effect (12-06-2026)

 

Today posted an article on the FIFA World Cup on our blog, dranil-marketingmusings.blogspot.com, and the readership simply rocketed. Encouraged by the response, I plan to publish one article a day and see where this journey leads.

On a good day, the blog attracts around 3,000 readers. On a great day, the numbers touch 10,000. On exceptional days, we cross 15,000. But today has been something altogether different. As I write this, we have already crossed 44,000 page views for the day, and the numbers are still climbing.

To put things in perspective, it took nearly three years for the blog to accumulate its first 50,000 page views. Today, we are approaching that figure in a single day. The scale and speed of this growth are simply mind-boggling.

June has been equally remarkable. In just the first 11 days of the month, we have already clocked 1,40,000 page views. During the same period, the blog's cumulative readership has jumped from 17,00,000 to 18,30,000 page views, adding an entire lakh and thirty thousand views in less than two weeks.

These numbers are far beyond anything I had imagined when I started writing. They reaffirm the power of timely content and, more importantly, the incredible reach of the internet, which allows a niche blog to find readers across continents.

A heartfelt thank you to readers from all over the world. Your curiosity, engagement, and encouragement make this journey worthwhile. Here's to many more stories, insights, and conversations in the days ahead.

“195 Months. One Breakthrough Month: March 2026 Delivers 13% of Total Readers!”

195 months. That’s nearly 16 years of writing… thinking… publishing… showing up. No shortcuts. No hacks. Just consistency.

And then came March 2026. 1,80,000 readers. In just 31 days. That’s 13% of everything I’ve built over 195 months.

It takes time to sink in. For years, growth felt like a slow burn, like a Malayalam thriller movie. A steady climb. Sometimes, it is even invisible. And then suddenly… it wasn’t.

This wasn’t luck. This was compounding, finally showing up. Every post that didn’t go viral. Every idea that felt ignored. Every late-night publish. They were all building toward this moment.

Because growth doesn’t announce itself when it’s happening, it shows up when you’ve almost forgotten to expect it. If there’s one lesson from this journey, it’s this:

Consistency feels slow… until it becomes unstoppable. To everyone creating, writing, building quietly — keep going. Your “March moment” is closer than you think. In a lighter way, your Own “Karan Arjun Aayenge (your moment will come)”. Spoken by Rakhee Gulzar from the movie Karan Arjun, “Karan and Arjun will return.”

Here comes my first blog posting

Here comes my exciting entry into the world of blogging. So far I have limited myself to popular articles in newspapers, souvenirs, and journals both popular and academic. As a voracious reader, it was always tempting to put forward your own point of view but found it very cumbersome to write and then mail and wait patiently for the editors (gods) to relent and publish your piece.

Thanks to technology and blogging things have become easy. I picked up a field that is close to my heart - Marketing. Marketing has been my passion, my area of specialization. Marketing was the area where I cut my teeth. It was marketing that taught me all the things of life and made me what I am today.

It was my passion for marketing that drove me to teach. I felt that there were lots of things that could be shared. I find my journey into academics and teaching to be great fun and a very enriching learning experience.

The blog posting will have around 500 words and there will be a posting every day. I made a mental promise to myself to be prompt and post each and every day. The sequence of topics that would be posted is

Monday: Posting would be about 5 latest concepts of marketing that will be useful for students, and professionals attending interviews. Also great fun for people who want to know the latest concepts in marketing.

Tuesday: Posting would be on consumer behaviour. This would be all about why consumers behave the way they behave or do not behave the way they are supposed to

Wednesday:  posting would be about a topic that is very close to my heart - Common sense. Common sense is something everyone knows and understands but common sense is not very common. Posting would enlighten you about common sense marketing practices that could go a long way in creating a competitive advantage.

Thursday: Posting would be about the best marketing practices of companies from around the world. It would be about cutting-edge marketing practices that made a company iconic and made them symbolic of an entire country a la Coke (USA)

Friday: The posting would be about controversies. Marketing controversies that have rocked the world and made the headlines.

Saturday: Posting would be devoted to the best marketing reads, classic books, classic articles, classic videos, and movies that a marketing buff should not miss.

Sunday: posting would be about the best advertisements and the worst advertisements that have been hitting us. The selection of advertisements could be from print, television, radio, web-based or from OOH.

All in all, I would like to share what I have with others and I want your suggestions and feedback in making this a lively and happening blog. Please drop your feedback to me on my e-mail.
