Hot diggety, folks! The 30 Pounds/4 Months cookbook seems to be selling. Either that or I created one heckuva cover for the thing.
Clicks on the Bitly link for the cookbook exceed those for any of the Racy Books by about a zillion to one. Apparently readers are more concerned about their waistlines than their fantasy sex lives. 😀
We may be looking at the difference between plugging a book on Facebook and plugging it on Twitter. Obviously, I can’t very well post glowing reviews of Porn Lite novelettes on FB, so all of the active campaigning for the Roberta Stuart bookoids has gone up on Twitter and Google+. Twitter is a bottomless pothole for that kind of stuff, so one competes against well-funded, savvy advertisers there.
The mention I put on Facebook was passed along by a couple of FB friendoids there. That presumably had the effect of a recommendation. And it presumably reached a lot more people than my feeble FB membership does.
Interesting. It speaks to the idea (one that has gone unarticulated in this space) of creating short eBooks from past FaM content. Y’know, Funny has been in business since Two Thousand and Aught-Seven! That is an OLD PF blog.
Funny isn’t even a personal finance blog anymore. These days it’s more like a lifestyle blog…or just a personal journal. How many times can you say “get a job…live below your means…save extra cash…set up a Roth IRA…use your employer’s 401(k)…get out of debt…start a side hustle…check out these bargains…avoid these scams…try these frugal household hints…make your own laundry soap” without turning blue? Hafta say: after a few years of that one gets mightily tired of it. Plus the field is way too crowded now. I wonder how many PF bloggers are out there today? Has anyone checked Sam‘s Yakezie group‘s membership lately? It must be vast by now.
BTW, did you read this post from Sam on the hidden benefits of trolls? The guy’s a freaking genius.
LOL! I’m too easily distracted today. Must brew another pot of coffee and get down to some actual work.
