I started writing the blog because I would talk peoiple's ears off about the book I just read and thy would tell me I was going over their heads and giving them too much information. My wife specifically! ha! She told me to write down my observations on what I read.
I have seen it grow. I only track "new" hits. Originally I was stoked to see 10 new hits a week from around the world. Now I get upwards of 100 hits a week. All for a blog reviewing books that no one gives a shit about.... ha!
It is tricky to begin, but once the ball is rolling, and you are writing about things you love, it becomes second nature.
I share the latest review on the book and here and on twitter but not a lot of actual marketing.
still, mine gets a good amount of traffic for an esoteric blog about paper books. I get a thrill out of seeing anew country listed in the "audience." Places like Belarus, Turks & Caicos, Malaysia, etc.
Thanks for checking it out guys...
