Well, we survived our first month and seemed to have fixed everything that needed it. We’ve had nothing but wonderful responses to our first recipe site and we do appreciate all your interest.
The first recipe book we sold was the Apple cookbook and, surprisingly, an old high school classmate of mine, Cleo, bought it. As soon as she saw the list of books, she was hell-bent on being our #1 customer. Unfortunately, when she tried to pay for it, the need for one of those fixes I mentioned above, surfaced and had to be straightened out first.
Finally, after some email and phone concern from Cleo, we got it fixed and she bought and downloaded her Apple cookbook. She seemed in such a hurry to get it, that I asked her about it. Here’s her answer.
“I couldn’t wait to get my e-book. My mother swipes apples from the assisted living buffet which she saves for me. I don’t really want or need them, but it makes her happy to think she is really getting her money’s worth at the residence. Now, I will have 15 ways to use them. Thanks for saving me from retracing the steps of Johnny Appleseed.”
Now there’s a reason for needing a new recipe book in a hurry that never would have occurred to me.
If you check out the links on the right panel, you will notice our “Paying It Forward With Gratitude” page. Both Carol and I believe in recognizing the people who help us when we need it. Both Paula Brett and Robin Skeen are two special Internet Marketers, bloggers and successful authors …friends… who believe in helping where help is needed. Read their pages and see who they are, if you don’t already know.
Carol Smith, my business partner, just finished this month’s free ebook giveaway, “Oklahoma Family Thanksgiving Dinner.” It’s full of her family’s personal holiday menu and a few glimpses into the group dynamics of keeping them out of her kitchen while she cooks. I’m sure you’ve all been there a time or two, or will be soon. Enjoy…Pat
