Operation West Virginia: Success!!!

For those of you just tuning in, earlier this week we launched Operation West Virginia.
The idea was to inform a West Virginian about SuperForest in the hopes of getting at least one hit from within the fine state of West Virginia.

Well, I'm delighted to report that our hard work has payed off!

Two Hits!
Huzzah!

To the two fine souls in Williamstown and Shepherdstown, thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed the site.

At last, we are one.

E Pluribus Unum.

Yay!!!!

Special thanks to SuperForester Laurie Anne, and to all the SuperForesters around the world.

West Virginia!

You slippery eel of a state.

We love you so much and you ignore us.

We'll just have to try much harder.

West Virginia, consider yourself stalked.

Love,

Jackson & Team SuperForest

p.s. Sorry we called you a slippery eel.

p.p.s. And a big "G'day!" to all the lovely people of Australia! 

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!

Oy! Oy! Oy!

Operation West Virginia: First Point, SuperForest!

We just received an amazing email from SuperForester Laurie Ann, who writes:

"Hi Jackson and Company:
Just wanted to let you know I did my part to help bring SuperForest to West Virginia. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Register-Herald in Beckley, WV. A copy of it can be found below. Oddly, now that you mention it, my own blog has no readers from West Virginia either. I wonder why? Perhaps there's a bizarre dead zone over the state that prevents them from receiving the internet. It could be all those mountains.
Anywho, keep up the good work and I will continue to spread the word--to West Virginia and beyond.
Have a great day!
Laurie Ann Miller

Hello Mr. Antolini:
Every day I read a wonderful blog--SuperForest.org. Today, the team posted about their worldwide readership and an interesting anomaly. They have no readers in West Virginia! How can that be? Doesn't West Virginia have internet access? Aren't West Virginians environmentally conscious? Don't they love art and nifty gadgets? SuperForest has it all along with helpful hints on how everyone can live greener and save our planet.
Our goal as readers of SuperForest.org is to spread the word. I'm doing my part; I'm telling you. Hopefully, you'll take a minute to check it out. Maybe it's not your thing, but chances are you know or work with someone who would enjoy this blog. Pass it on. And if your paper should run an article on being eco-friendly or "going green" this would be an excellent link to share with your subscribers. As Jackson and the SuperForest team points out, readership is 53 times higher in Malaysia than it is in West Virginia and you don't want Malaysia to get all the good stuff first.

Thank you for you time, Mr. Antolini. I hope you will share this link with at least one other person. West Virginia needs SuperForest and vice versa."

Needless to say, Laurie Ann's letter made our day.

A huge thanks to Laurie Ann, (who runs an adorable blog herself,) and to Mr. Antolini, the fine fellow over at the Register-Herald.

Do you SuperForester's at home want to write Mr. Antolini a letter as well?
It's easy! Just click here.

Be nice to Mr. Antolini. If SuperForest is ever going to crack the impenetrable fortress that is West Virginia, we're gonna need a good man on the ground. Mr. Antolini could be that man.

SuperForest Projects: Operation West Virginia

What up, West Virginia?

Above is a screengrab from SuperForest's analytics page. SuperForest is read by folks all over the world and in every single state in the Union, with one exception.

West Virginia.

We must share the good news with West Virginia.

Seriously, our readership is 53 times higher in Malaysia than it is is West Virginia.

Our West Virginian cousins are missing out.

So, we hereby announce the beginning of Operation West Virginia!

What do you have to do to participate?

Tell someone, anyone, in West Virginia about SuperForest.

I just did. It went like this:

First, I wanted to insure that my message was received, so I googled "Vegan food West Virginia"

This lead me to the address and phone number of Mountain People's Kitchen in Morgantown, West Virginia. (304) 291-6131.

(Ring. Ring.)

Woman: "Hello, Mountain People's Kitchen?"

Me: "Hi, do you guys have a computer with internet access? Not for customers, but for you working at the store?"

W: "No."

M: "Do you have it at home?"

W: "No."

M: "So you don't have internet access at all?"

W: "Not poor people like me. Some folks have Comcast."

M: "So you don't email?"

W: "I have email, but I don't use it."

M: "So what if someone wanted to get in touch with you and tell you about something amazing?"

W: "They'd have to call me."

M: "Great, well I wanted to tell you about this amazing website. It's called SuperForest.org. Super, like superman, and forest, like trees."

W: "Oh yeah?"

M: "Yeah, it's really great. It's all about positivity and sustainability."

W: "Hmmm."

M: "Yeah, check it out if you get a chance. SuperForest.org."

W: "I will. If I can steal a signal, I will."

M: "Oh wait, you know what the best part is?"

W: "What?"

M: "There's no advertising. No banners or pop-ups."

W: "I'll check it out."

M: "Awesome! What's your name?"

W: "Ashley."

M: "Thanks Ashley. Have a great day."

Ashley: "You too."

(click.)

See! That was easy.

Ashley at the Mountain People's Kitchen was very nice and managed to sound genuinely sort of enthusiastic, which is way more than I was hoping for.

Tell someone in W.V. about SuperForest.

Tell 'em that the Malaysians are getting all the good info first!

Awesome.

Love,

Jackson & Team SuperForest
