Friday John Ku – AKA TGIF

April 14, 2017 · by · in TGIF · 43 Comments

Friday once again. Always glad to see it roll around. No particular reason other than it gives me an opportunity to reflect on the week and see if I’ve done anything worthwhile. Hold on let me think a moment. *crickets*

I’m back. This week was pretty productive. I finished up all the edits within my power on Circumstances of Childhood and sent it off to the editor. That was a biggie this week. I also placed My GRL on an Amazon Marketing Services promotion. I will be interested to see how that goes. This is the first time I have done it seriously. The idea is for Amazon to match your book with searches done by their customers. I managed to come up with over 200 keywords so this effort should be more telling on the program. I’ll keep you posted. Today’s John Ku talks about trying new things. Hope you have a great weekend.

    What is it about Friday? Even though I’ve been retired for 7 years, I spend each week striving for Friday!!

      I think it is a line in the sand where the reward moment can be savored. At least that’s the way I look at it. 😀

      I’ll let you know. I need to to some analysis and tweaking. The promo runs thirty days so I’ll have a good idea of what works and what doesn’t. (maybe) 😀
