    RLF Gems: Blog Stats for Jan 2013 #RLFblog

    RLF Gems

    January on Romance Lives Forever had two ties, one for third
    place and a three-way tie in fourth. We had 1 model interview, 16 author
    interviews, 4 character interviews, 3 book releases, and 2 articles, and one new
    feature article for 28 posts in a 31 day month.
    We introduced a new feature this month: Cover Love. This is a short intro to
    a book and includes only a blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the
    author. We use it if one of our scheduled authors is unable to appear, and no
    other material is on hand. If you would like to submit your book for this
    feature, see the FAQ page for more information.
    The top posts are all interviews this month. Here are the top five posts (judging
    by page hits).
    Of special notice: In the history of the blog, only eight
    other people had more hits than our first place winner, John Steiner.

    2. Charley Descoteaux
    3. Patricia Yager Delagrange

    Triberr to over 549k potential readers, are featured front page in the daily Romance Lives Forever Paper.li ezine,
    and the blog has its own hashtag (#rlfblog) on Twitter. This year, we also
    created the Booklover’s Guide to Romance
    Lives Forever
    with links to guest authors’ books and social media. It is
    110 pages crammed full of who to follow and what to read. The FAQ page provides
    updated downloads of optional interview questions, and a guide to the blog. You
