This quarterly report raises more questions than it answers, and here are some of them:<\/p>\n
1. We’re showing the total number of downloads from Google’s Android store<\/strong> for the first time. As we can see, after some time, many users who downloaded an app cease to be active users, or delete it from their phones. What can we do to sustain our numbers and grow them?<\/p>\n 2. Nearly all our mailing lists<\/strong> are either shrinking or static (Swedish is an artificial growth – imports from the English list). What can we do to grow our lists over time? (Short answer: get unions which request campaigns to promote them to their members and allies.)<\/p>\n 3. Only 5 new correspondents<\/strong> added in the last 90 days — how can we bring in new ones, especially to replace those who become inactive over time?<\/p>\n 4. Traffic to our news pages<\/strong> remains quite low, especially to the non-English ones. We have twice as many unique users of our campaigns as we have of news.\u00a0 What can we do to drive traffic to our news site?
