Is It Me ?

Often quoted by my colleague Tony Gould long since retired and busy with skiing and antiques (I hope) - we would have a brew and recount how could it be so that this or that has carried on - were we the only sane people to see it ???

It must be something to do with working for myself and my own timescales, I forget that other businesses do not always work 7 days.  So when I place an order Friday late afternoon, I then wait until Monday  ...afternoon and expect to get a reply saying 'OK all is well you will get your parts by...." needless to say that it's now Wednesday and I still haven't had confirmation of the 'first offs' or expected delivery date..... do I ask too much ? I know I am impatient - but I also know my order is small beans and not worth much as it is to a small engineering shop - it doesn't take much to write an email does it ?

Having spent the better part of the day milling two Pine Trees into boards for a friend t make into garden benches.  This evening I spent an hour on Twitter seeking some new followers and trying to get some interest in the website and this Blog.. There is a great little feature run every Wednesday evening by an Enterprise LookEastMidlands, where if you use the '#lookeastmidlands' and tweet it goes out to all those following #lookeastmidlands... well I think thats how it works.
So this weeks hour has been rewarded with 7 new followers of  look_creations. maybe I should have a twitter account for the Fan-Ce ?? Will think on that.

I have managed to work out how to get Google analytics to track the Blog views as well as the website, I have YouTube tracking video views and so far things are ticking along with the Fan-Ce webpage getting around 10 hits per day.

I have purchased various website domains based on typical searches for the product and set up forwarding addresses to the existing webpage.  I still have to establish how these affect google search positions etc - so by the time it all gets set up I should be able to boost the existing traffic levels and work out some cunning Keywords & Addwords for the new pages.

Next priority aside from making the fans up, is to get a brochure / flyer for POS and get some sample product out into a few Stove Shops - then make a really decent professional video for YouTube and the webpage and link all the YouTube channels to it to merge the feeds back to the webpage / online sales page. According to YouTube Stats' most views have been by males 20 - 45yrs old - so I'm thinking bikini clad gorgeous model caressing a cool bottle of beer while watching the fan spin on top of a woodburner ?......erm.... maybe I should stick to the woodturning and furniture :-)

Tomorrow - I have to get on with a commission to get some funds for the next development on the Stove Top Fan-Ce.
