From My Mind to....

Genre Settings Are Three

Today will be genre number 70 of the 96 genres on the Browse By Genre list for my current reviewing activity. Regional! That's today's genre.

Before I open the listings to select which item to review, I like to guess how many items will be displayed. I'm surprised more often than not. Which means I don't have a great track record for guessing. Today's guess was under 1000--601 is that magic number of Regional listings.

One bit of data I wish now I'd added to my Genre Review Spreadsheet was how many items I've reviewed used all three available genre settings. All I know for sure is not every person uses all three. As I update my own Port (and individual items), I find I'm guilty of the same--failing to use all three settings. I'm changing that now.

It should be obvious. Using all three genre settings places your story or poem on three different listings. Use a little ingenuity and you can find more places to showcase your item, such as "The Shameless "Plug" Page" , or find a reviewer off the Most Credited Reviewer list and request a review (provided that person's Review Requests is ON). 

I'm off to complete my Regional review.
