Well, my blog and book launch failed... So over the last few weeks I have been working to launch a new poetry blog (hello distance poetry). I launched it yesterday by sending an email out to 7,400 and also posting all over Facebook, and my college which has 1,300 members Facebook. I received about 700 visitors last night, but almost no one bought the book. I only made a few bucks off sales, but tons of people visited the blog. I feel lost. I worked so hard for so many weeks, I understand that poetry doesn't sell. And I understand that this is a non marketable niche, but I love poetry and love art. I didn't really want to make money I guess. I just wanted to make back all the money I spent on the website, promotion, and editing. I guess I'm posting just to talk about the experience. I learned from it, and next time I'll do something different, but it was just hard learning from dropping all that money.
