I give my books free as a welcome gift to people who join my mail list. Triberr has definitely brought people to my blog on that score. I also try to cut down my online time and Triberr plus something called Feed140 make things look like I'm much more active on twitter than I really am. I might use my AE slot next month to cover Feed140, it's brill!@Ruby_Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136530922804444637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-59692447093345122562013-10-26T11:33:03.595+01:002013-10-26T11:33:03.595+01:00Thanks for the frank answer, Ruby.

Since I'm one of those traitorous types who gives all my fiction away for free (except for Amazon, because they won't let me), I'm unconcerned about sales - though I suppose nobody sniffs at a few more readers. Still, I'm trying to cut down on online time, not increase it, though at some point I may give triberr a 'tri' out of curiosity. In any case, I'm glad you've told us about it.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-29703585595537413522013-10-26T10:41:46.311+01:002013-10-26T10:41:46.311+01:00Slowly the mists are beginning to clear thanks to ...Slowly the mists are beginning to clear thanks to your patience, postings such as this and the added expertise of Chris. I still can't see myself flitting from Tribber to Twitter to all the other sites with nonchalant ease but I know more now than I did when you mooted this idea, Ruby. Thanks for all the work on our behalf.Bill Kirtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345949773423764808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-79310540333228089262013-10-26T10:35:52.643+01:002013-10-26T10:35:52.643+01:00Great post.

And punchy titles? Oh yes!

And if it just gets people to click on my blog - does that show that they actually read anything? I take your point about punchy titles for blogs - to point people in the direction of my work, but fly-by people just to make my stats look good, I'm not sure where that gets me.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127111575563904349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-42461338796171352222013-10-26T09:52:52.267+01:002013-10-26T09:52:52.267+01:00I suppose it's all about creating a platform, ...I suppose it's all about creating a platform, getting yourself noticed, and your name recognized. After all, why bother writing blog posts if no one reads them? And surely if your name is recognized it will have some spin off for your books. Great post, Ruby.

When I write posts about writing, social media etc then I do get increased sales of The New Author, but I don't think blog traffic translates into novel sales. Unless the novel has a particular topic and the blog posts follow that topic.@Ruby_Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07136530922804444637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-1578133768267963612013-10-26T06:42:01.942+01:002013-10-26T06:42:01.942+01:00Interesting.
