Hello,
2015 has been a huge year for 4x4earth, with the migration to the new website, the introduction of the podcasts and our little website becoming Australia's largest free and independant 4 wheel drive website, with over 2,000,000 visits and 6 million page views!!!! That is an amazing result and a big thanks to all of the team, especially the mods and those organising events and trips out.
The podcast has been a really big success with around 20,000 downloads of the podcasts. Most popular so far have been:
Everything you wanted to know about Diff Locks but were afraid to ask; and
The day I killed my Jeep!
To make it easier for everyone to listen to the Podcast, we've created the 4x4earth Podcast app. Now you can download you favourite tracks and listen to them in the car on your way to work or when you're out on the tracks with no radio reception.
The big question is what do you want to see in 2016?
A couple of ideas we have are:
More 4x4earth merchandise - caps, beanies and T-shirts. These help spread the word and bring in a bit of revenue - the website upgrade cost a fortune and we need to pay that off somehow.
Bring back the function to upoad and download track files for your GPS.
A better feature for organising trips. At the moment it is pretty ad hoc and I think that there are better ways to do it.
More competitions. Would like to see best photos, best cooking ideas and the like in return for cool prizes.
What would you like to see? Is any of this exciting, or have you got a great idea to further build on our little community?
