Before we end the month of April I just wanted to acknowledge this blogs 2nd birthday, which officially happened on the 15th of this month. It is a bit hard to believe for me as I had no idea where starting this blog would lead. Little did I know the kind of reaction and following I'd garner after such a short time, which has pushed me time and again to get to work on the next post.
This little corner of the web is still small compared to the bigger and older guns of blogdom such as Wert, Graeme, Aidan, and the ever present Pat, but the number of visit each month just keeps growing. And I've also been happy to see the rise of other great book bloggers such as that smart mouthed yet erudite Scotsman Niall Alexander, the reviewing machine Stefan over at Civilian Reader, and the very honest Sarah at Bookwork Blues. Most of all I'm glad to spread my love of books around. This place all started because I love to talk books and talk books I have. I'd like to thank all of you for the support and for continuing to read my musings. I hope that you all continue to follow me on this journey as we discover new authors and great books together.

ReplyDelete@Everyone - Thanks for all the kind words!
ReplyDelete@Travis - My advice to start is to create a schedule and stick to it. Whether that is posting twice a week or a month depends on your goals. Early visitors look for consistency in posting, but the other major thing is share your opinion very openly. Try not to hold back. It takes a while to build-up an audience. It was probably 6 months before I started getting a good amount of regular traffic. Also, go for books that don't get attention on other blogs. Some of my most popular reviews are for books hardly any other blogs give attention to.
