With fall in full swing all over, things at YMX are rockin’ along. And I don’t just mean the forum community, but all over at YMX things are doing quite well.
We’ve got better content than ever, better access to artists and new music, better reviews of books and other stuff, and quite nice free giveaways.
And people are noticing! There is nothing more exciting for a small publisher than seeing people finally start to recognize that you are a producer of good content. And it’s fun from our point of view because we can see that loads more people are signing up for our free weekly newsletter and getting our stuff delivered to them on their feed reader.
I may sound like a dweeb, but it is just plain fun to see stuff go from idea, to development, to implemtation, to "consumers" consuming and liking what you’ve produced. It’s kind of a little boy high.
Perhaps again, I’m a dork. But it’s also very exciting for me to see that this infant site, which wasn’t more than a crazy idea 2 years ago… now is getting first class content from people like Thousand Foot Krutch, David Crowder, Erwin McManus, Shane Claiborne… and of course youth ministry "names" like Jeremy Del Rio, Dave Rahn, and Len Evans.
All the time the YMX team just kind of sits up and looks around long enough to say… "Are you kidding me? Is all of this good stuff really happening? We’re just learning how all of this works!" YMX is clearly a God thing because we really just worked hard and dreamed and the rest of everything has fallen into place for us.
The best part of where we are right now is that this isn’t the end of our dream for the site. In fact, this is just a milestone… a point of celebration from where we were on the way to where we want to go. Gotta love crazy goals!
