Monthly Recap: October 2022

TRANSPARENCYMONTHLY RECAP

10/31/20221 min read

Alright! Another month in the books, and it was a good one!

So first things first, I had a great day at the Montevallo ArtStalk! There will be a follow up blog post one day this week to go more in depth on that, but suffice it to say I made over 300 bucks in one day. And then I sold a bunch of books at my launch party for book 4. So those two events combined to well over 400 bucks of in person sales! Hell yeah!

Outside of that, everything was fairly normal. I am looking into some scheduling software that will allow me to automate a lot of my posting, which I hope will save me some time, but more importantly I will use that to do a better job of promoting the other things I do like shirts and games.

On the social front, same old same old for the most part. Facebook got a decent bump, but that was because of me inviting a lot of folks on my friend list from my personal account. So it's not like fans have been wandering in from the cold as it were haha.

Also, my email list should be getting a bit of a bump this upcoming month as I log in a bunch of email signups I have gotten. I also am looking into StoryOrigin, which will hopefully help me grow my list. And with CONjuration coming next weekend, I am really hopeful that November is an equally good month.
