I'm up, I'm up - six hours of sleep.

No orders, no Indiegogo action - cheerleading has begun!

Good luck, BK. Nice new perks.

In Young Mungo, Annie somehow comes up in conversation. The poor young Glaswegian is not impressed.

Speaking of the sun coming out tomorrow, this art installation description (typos notwithstanding) looks interesting!

News item flashed across my screen: "Trump Troubles Open Path for Senate GOP White House Hopefuls."

Pictured are Cruz, Cotton, and Hawley. And DeSantis waiting in the wings. We are doomed.

Facebook is being the worst I've ever seen. They are really working overtime to make sure as few people as possible see the posts, whether on my own page or in groups. They HATE that I'm not boosting ads anymore - I did and for a seven-day ad for $35 they guarantee you that between 500 and 1000 people PER DAY will see it. When the final report came in, they said a total of 546 people had seen it in seven days. Pretty sure what they promise and what they deliver is actionable.

It's so frustrating.

Normally, when I post these updates, we get at least a person or two right away to come in. This petrifies me when we're going into our final week and can't get past 72%, which it's been since Saturday. We're still over 5K away from the goal and we don't get the goal even if we get there unless we cover the fees. And frankly, I'm running out of stuff to put up - I cannot do better than what's there. That's not to say that the first two weeks and some of the third were amazing, because they were - but they were because people were seeing the posts regularly.

I ask in total ignorance of how these things work:

When we do see your posts, does it help at all to immediately 'like' them? Does that do anything to bump them up into greater visibility? How about leaving a comment?

Edit: Just got the "Night Music" CD post in my feed. Liked and commented, for what it's worth.

Douglas Stuart wrote the wonderful Shuggie Bain. He’s got a new book out called Young Mungo. It’s a difficult read. I’m not sure if the really depressing parts are worth it. I’m more than halfway through, so I will likely finish, but it’s sad. And all too realistic.

I have a hold on the Kindle version of Young Mungo.

Yes, leaving comments really helps fight it, because when a post is engaged they tend to think others need to see it. The Night Music CD went so fast I couldn't even believe it. Probably could have charged more - so, two items so far today, but even though it's over a hundred bucks, still didn't change the percentage. But at least we're inching closer to 15K.

bk · « **Reply #84 on:** July 05, 2022, 03:00:09 PM »

Liking helps, too. If you're not following me, you should be. Also, if you're not, visit my page and like and comment.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #85 on:** July 05, 2022, 03:19:27 PM »

Definitely a follower, but I do find I'm seeing some of these posts a few days after the fact, and that there seem to be fewer reactions and comments than is normal.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #86 on:** July 05, 2022, 03:50:00 PM »

73%.

I figured out the percentage thing.

They don't round up. 73% of 20K is 14,600, so it didn't change from 72% to 73% until that number was reached. 74% is 14,800 and I say that's when it will change again ... or by God my name isn't Criswell.

bk · « **Reply #87 on:** July 05, 2022, 05:12:45 PM »

73%! Close to 74.

I must have been a good boy today. I just treated myself to two scoops of ice cream: piñon or pinenut and cafe con leche.

Onward!
