...just like a good bookseller. But then I had a big dry period with no orders and it really depressed me. I have over 6,000 books online, don't tell me you can't be tempted by something I have listed!
But the dry period continued - until this morning. Then I got three orders through Google! That's cool!
I think what happened was that I had to do a purge and replace on my own website to make sure I had the right books listed - somehow the count got off.
I check each time I upload, but sometimes I get busy or don't get the email back or... And it was off. When I removed my books and replaced them, I think it took a bit of time for my books to get indexed again on Google. Sigh...
But they are up now and all systems are go.
I posted a Pelton Water Wheel catalog from 1905 and a Handbook of Practical Mechanics today, along with other interesting books.
Who knows what I'll find to list for tomorrow?
I'm Jo Ann Hakola, The Book Faerie, bookworm and bookseller. I have been selling books since January of 2000. It's a homebased business and I sell online only. Here is my website: http:www.bookfaerie.com I offer free shipping stateside. It's a one woman endeavor, and I love working for myself. I have over 6,000 books online now. I do book reviews from a reader's point-of-view and try to spread the magic of reading.

I hear you. I am also a bookseller and I hate those dry spells. I have about 11,000 books listed, and I get dry spells too. I think it is part of this business, but I still hate them. With the recession I have noticed that sales are down.
I am doing the same as you, listing and listing more books.
