Two Landmarks This Week
Earlier this week , I posted my 300th blog post. The overall goal is to reach 1,000 and reach 500 by the end of the year. In the last few weeks, blog hits and comments have noticeably risen, and my colleague and mentor, Lloyd Lofthouse, for this, saw a big jump between the 300-400 mark.
In addition, Left Coast Voices broke into the top 1 million ranked blogs (there are 400 million) and this went quicker than we anticipated. It is important to set clear and measureable goals. I feel this is what separates those serious authors from the hobbyists.
I am interested to hear from authors who focus on blogging to sell their books:
1) What were your goals for the year/month/…
2) At what point in your blog and online development did you begin to see consistent sales rise?
