Hit Counter
The last time I looked at the hit counter was Sept 23 - one whole month ago. The blog was registering as having had 321 hits then and now the number is 448 - which is about 4 hits a day - not great, but not terrible either!
Where does the Time Go?
I can't believe its been so long since I last wrote a blog entry and when I look to see what I've been doing it feels like a lot of time spent doing nothing particularly productive.
One success however, is my Twitter account. I now have 140 followers and the number rises every day. Sometimes I spend a couple of minutes at a time reading other people's tweets and retweeting some of them and at other times I can spend half an hour to an hour messing about going to the different links and reading stuff on line.
Is it productive or not? Hard to say, because I don't think any of my tweets have translated into direct sales BUT I am building a network of on line contacts some of whom will one day think about buying a Treasure Trail maybe - meantime, I am on the word of mouth marketing mission!
