Running from December 15th to January 1st, most of my books are enrolled at 50% OFF, except a few which are enrolled at 25% in order to maintain a $0.99 minimum and the rest which are already at that $0.99 minimum:

Okay, delayed again, by busy-ness in my life and work outside of writing… Barely able to find time to post some of my promos to my social accounts. No time for writing, at all. Anyway, October saw a very small (~2%) increase over September’s blog hits. That’s all there is to say.
Another decline in September, but not down to June’s low. I finally got my home internet in better shape towards the end of the month. Now I just need to get caught up on some stuff related to my social media posting…
Yes, I’m even later with this than I was last month. Life’s been busy and the same issues I have with Internet access at the beginning of each month (tied to my cellphone plan) were still an issue.
Anyway, blog hits declined in August, but only in comparison to July. They were still better than June or May and were better than August 2022. If I just had the time to finish my current book and keep up with all of the social media posting to promote my existing books, things could be better.
Yeah, I’m almost a week late on this, but I frequently have limited Internet access at the beginning of the month and when I do have access, other tasks take priority.
Anyway, July 2023 did see a jump in traffic compared to the two months before it, likely the effect of the Smashwords sale this month. Not quite to the level of May+June combined, but close. Yet, still lower than July 2022, for comparison.
Not a lot of writing/promoting activity again, so blog hits dropped even further, to the lowest level in more than a year.
Maybe the Smashwords sale this month will help (see here), but I’ve got to promote that, too. And my real life job (no, I’m not telling you what it is) is going to be busy in July, too. So, we’ll see what we see.
Smashwords is running its annual July Summer/Winter Sale again, starting today.

Yes, this monthly status is delayed again. Sorry. Just busy doing other things. And that’s the main cause of a big drop in hits in May, more than 50% from April and the lowest in five months.
Late posting of this, again, Sorry. Slight decline from March’s numbers, but that still places April above any other month in the site’s stats. Just one sale from the shop all month, though.
Measured in terms of hits to the site, this was a HUGE jump for March, 70% above February’s numbers and an all-new high (at least among the stats since launching the leenyspress.com domain)!
Now, if only sales would match that activity…
