The Numbers Game




Agog?

I bet you are. We're about to find out how many books this blog can manage to sell in a week.

If you remember, we started on the 15th March, I've been posting most days since then. I've also been tweeting regularly and sticking each new post on Facebook.

I have 1666 twitter Followers and 84 Facebook friends.

This blog has had the following visitor numbers:

15 March 168
16 March 135
17 March 162
18 March 118
19 March 127

Hmm. What should I make of those numbers?

Well, for a start surely most of the traffic is friends and family, isn't it? At least that's what I would expect.
However, I can't think of many Americans that might know me. Then there's Germany and Poland, that's a bit of a mystery as well.

So, that's where the people viewing the blog are living. That's how many visits we're getting. But how many books are we selling?

Well, we need to leave that question open for a few more days, I promised to give it a week and I'll take a look then and let you know.

In the meantime, if you're a friend or a family member who's bought Due Diligence please let me know if you haven't done so already. You need to be excluded from the figures otherwise I be giving my fellow authors and bloggers false hopes.

So, unless you're a friend or family member, feel free to buy the book. You'll be doing everyone, including yourself, a great service.
