Well here's some news; in case anyone wanted to buy something from my website - I have setup a 'PayPal Me' account which means I can take direct payments for anything in my shop!
Now, I'm glad that I tend to generate 100 unique visits per week; that's great it really is. But I need to turn some of these visits into sales - and I've no idea how to do that. I think I'm reasonably good at writing the books, creating the look and 'feel' of them and even taking the photos and designing the cover etc. but I'm not so very good at marketing them once they have been written. So if you have any ideas of how I could achieve some sales, then please let me know! And just in case you think you'd like to buy a book or two - here's where you can send money too: paypal.me/AMitchell939 And remember that my latest book is OUT NOW! Thanks for visiting my site, stay safe and keep reading... Alan

Now this is a short blog post and I only put it 'out there' as I must confess to being a bit worried. You see, last year when in Lincolnshire; we met a young girl who was a waitress and was so lovely I gave her a copy of my (then) current Poetry Book as a Thank You (I've checked and it's not against the Geneva Convention). We also left a tip, which I know was far more preferable for her or any person in the hospitality trade I'm sure.
She was so sweet, she sent me a thank you and a poem of her own, which she subsequently gracefully allowed to be included in my (now) current book of poetry - 'Voices in the Wild'. Before it came out, I sent her an email offering her a signed copy (or two) as a Thank You for her poem. But I did not hear anything from her. I sent a follow up email a week or so ago, and sadly I've still not heard from her. If she doesn't want a copy (it might have been me offering to sign it that convinced her against it) that's fine; but I'd just like to make sure that everything is ok with her. So, in the unlikely event that you know her (Miss O Parr of Lincolnshire), drop me a line to assuage my fears? Thanks - I don't expect this to 'work' but it's the last thing I can think of that's not too intrusive. Take care all... Alan |
