I'm flattered...Hi Courtney...nice to meet you. I'm flattered that you would ask for my opinion (I'm old -- no one listens to me anymore! lol .. actually, not true. Except for the "old" part. I'm 55! I have two beautiful daughters, both in college. They're 21 and 19. They're my best friends. Sucks that they're both away at school right now, but when they're home, we spend a great deal of time together, mostly shopping, laughing and just enjoying each other.<br /><br />I started my blog just about a year ago. It's become less of a blog and more of a sale site. Besides loving to shop, we love great deals. So now I'm sharing them. You're off to a fine start. The best advice I can give you is to be consistent. The moment my posts slow down, my visitors tend ot disappear as well. Try to make a schedule, and force yourself to stick to it... Once a week. Twice a week. Twice a day! It doesn't matter. But once your readers know WHEN you're going to post, they're giong to come back if they like what they see!<br /><br />Since mine are individual site sales, I scatter them over the course of the day. It seems to be helping. I'm still trying to figure out how to actually get them to visit the site directly, but most seem to prefer the feeds.<br /><br />I hope this helps. Keep up the great work!<br />Debbie (the old lady in NY!)debbiecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016074691718591130noreply@blogger.com
