Monthly Recap: May 2022

Its June. How? Where did the year go? Anywho, lets dive in!

So first off, the thing I am most excited about is the fact that this is the first month I am aware of that I had bigger book sales numbers than the month previous, without launching a book. Usually if I see a bump it's because I just put a book out, but this month I had a (slight) increase in sales over the previous, just by being me. You do love me!

Now that I have jinxed it, I am sure I will have like, no sales next month. But still! Baby steps!

What else. I had a big bump to Hilltop Howlers facebook follows thanks to a popular review I did of a new restaurant in town. My podcasting fees went way up, due to switching to a host that allows me to have multiple shows and my own network, then adding on a zoom paid membership so I can record as much and as long as I like. So I def need to work on building up my patreon to offset those costs. I have some thoughts, but only time will see. Also, I need to figure out what I am doing with some of these groups I run. I am thinking of closing some down, in favor of some others that seem to be doing better. We shall see!

Overall I am happy with the month! Onwards and upwards!
