Tee hee

Heard from someone who donated that they forwarded the address onto a couple of friends, who very kindly donated straight away - and said they hadn't read the book yet, but were going to print it out to read on the train...

Been busy on other work, but will start the promoting very soon.

Hello Google!

Somehow the site is already listed in Google!!

This is very bizarre, because one of my other sites, that is a lot bigger and Search-Engine-Friendly still isn't.

And this other site has been live for a lot longer (I started copying up pages for http://www.morningtoncrescentbooks.com a couple of weeks ago), and is fairly well optimised.

Wheras MCBooks is a two page site with no inbound links whatsoever - it didn't even have this Blog til today (ignore all this if you've no idea what I'm going on about!).

Very bizarre - but I'm not complaining.

First Day, First Donations

WOW - got back from a Samaritans shift, and there was my first donation.

Thank you so much to the person who donated - you are a complete star!

Even better, since then two more people have donated - got two emails within about ten minutes of each other, so thank you to those people too.

First total - £32 :)

And a testimonial:-

"Good luck with the fundraising - and thank you for such a fabulous book!"

The First People To See It...

Just got back from the wedding of one of my dearest friends - and have sent an email to the guests asking them if they'd mind sending the details of the site on to their friends.

It's the very first bit of marketing, and even though it's to friends, I'm still a bit nervous as to what people will think...
