www.lulu.com are still talk<strong>in</strong>g cheap repr<strong>in</strong>ts of faulty books<br />

that replaced faulty books, when it is high time <strong>the</strong>y gave me a<br />

refund at last.<br />

The ma<strong>in</strong> – and excellent news – is that my website is<br />

attract<strong>in</strong>g many visitors and may yet yield sales soon – even<br />

though I was surprised to see only FIVE visitors recorded today<br />

for yesterday! That vast drop MUST reverse itself! I had<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ished typ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> above, or thought I had, when I checked my<br />

emails. To my astonishment <strong>the</strong>re was an <strong>in</strong>vitation to be his<br />

friend on ‘face book’ from <strong>the</strong> very same ‘David’ from Mymms<br />

Ward back <strong>in</strong> May who still owed me £90 for a set of my books!<br />

So I politely replied say<strong>in</strong>g ‘call me on (home no.) or (mobile<br />

no.)’ and repay my £90 first please’! Cheeky bastard!<br />

Thursday. Only SIX visitors reported – is this a trend? Had a<br />

letter from T3 Direct say<strong>in</strong>g very directly, my contract was<br />

def<strong>in</strong>itely still <strong>in</strong> place, and if I wanted my phone back, or a<br />

replacement phone, to pay <strong>the</strong> first <strong>in</strong>stalment on that contract!<br />

I did not know what to do – really I still wanted to get out of<br />

<strong>the</strong> damn contract! I phoned Manuela, and discussed several<br />

issues: -<br />

• The Google Adwords Campaign had only attracted just 58<br />

visitors <strong>in</strong> two weeks – cost<strong>in</strong>g www.book-promotion.com<br />

a pr<strong>in</strong>cely £10 or so! Some huge campaign, I don’t th<strong>in</strong>k!<br />

• There had only been 5 or so visitors a day <strong>the</strong> last two<br />

days<br />

• The visits were very poor quality <strong>with</strong> a 92% ‘bounce rate’<br />

(totally dis<strong>in</strong>terested visitors)!<br />

She agreed to discuss all this by email <strong>with</strong> Kumar, <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

<strong>in</strong>stance. F<strong>in</strong>ally <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> even<strong>in</strong>g of yet ano<strong>the</strong>r quiet day, I<br />

‘chatted across <strong>the</strong> pond’ <strong>with</strong> a ‘Megan M’ at www.lulu.com<br />

help chat l<strong>in</strong>e. I had a long w<strong>in</strong>ge at her about <strong>the</strong>ir Stef of<br />

Pr<strong>in</strong>t Support, say<strong>in</strong>g she was dragg<strong>in</strong>g her heels <strong>in</strong> response to<br />

many emails and chats about my refund for four faulty books,<br />

preferr<strong>in</strong>g – Lulu Inc. preferred – policy? – to issue <strong>more</strong> duff<br />

repr<strong>in</strong>ted books! The poor Megan M listened but could do<br />

noth<strong>in</strong>g to help.<br />

Suddenly on Friday morn<strong>in</strong>g was good news – visitors, all of 96<br />

of <strong>the</strong>m yesterday! I saw Jemima and a tra<strong>in</strong>ee social worker<br />
