Another Lesson Learned; Maybe

I expected to see a bump in visits to my book blog after my book and I were featured in an area newspaper. It didn't happen. Then today I see a big bump in visits. Now I can't remember what I did yesterday that could account for it. I need to keep a log of some type to learn what works well and what doesn't work.

Another Paper Article

A second area newspaper printed an article about me and my book. This one said they would print something if I sent them a press release. I did, along with pictures, and they printed exactly what I sent, including a typo neither Microsoft or  I didn't catch. Now I have enough confidence to send a release to other area papers. I haven't checked yet to see if the article increased traffic to my web site or resulting in any spike in sales. Let you know later.
