I am learning alot of new tricks and tips about internet presence,
self promotion, marketing and ultimately selling. This is an
enormous and enormously complicated field. I am starting to
pay particular attention to my backroom statistics to try and fathom
who my particular audience are and more importantly what it is
that appeals to them most. Statistics are interesting although
difficult for me to fully understand.

their favourites. Amazing what a bit of luck can do, except sad to say my
luck ran out and no new sales were generated. Still all exposure is
good and gratefully accepted and so I have to focus my eye on the
long ball in this situation. Delayed gratification.

Another statistic that I have been mulling over recently are the
daily page visits to this very blog. Consistently it rates at around 50
hits a day. Who are you and why do you remain in the shadows?
