Top 10 Flanders Family Posts of 2022

Every year in January, I take a look at my analytics to see which of my blog posts have enjoyed the most popularity in the preceding 12 months. I do this in an attempt to spot past trends and learn how better to serve my readers (that’s you!) in the future. So let’s see what we can learn from my top 10 blog posts of 2022.

So what can we glean from this list? If you look closely, you’ll see that of my top 10 posts of 2022…

90% were free printables
40% were overtly Christian in nature
30% were educational resources
30% were games (including 2 word scrambles)
20% were coloring pages
20% were bucket lists
10% were calendars

And if you include my best-performing posts of all time, you’ll see a similar trend.
