    RLF Gems – Blog Stats for June 2012

     

    RLF Gems.
    The top bloggers (by page load) for the month of June
    resulted in a tie for third place in the top five. This month was unusual in
    that the blog was closed for a period due to my illness. The good news is that
    I did not have a heart attack. The bad news is that I learned my heart did have
    a slight weakness that needed medication. I’ve been on the mend and taking
    better care of myself as a result.
    In June, we had a few character interviews, which were well
    received, and every day that we had a posting saw top numbers. The article I
    wrote for the Marketing for Romance Writers blog tour (in preparation for
    Marketing Summer Camp) scored nearly twice as many hits as the next in line.
    That was gratifying, and a surprise. Model and photographer Cherif Fortin and his
    business partner Lynn Sanders hit it out of the park with their interview this
    month. I had them on twice because their article was so unique. They helped
    pioneer a new media that combines film, ebooks, audio books, and images to make
    a new media. You can learn more about it at this URL. http://is.gd/a3oh1m
