My Goals

An improved website murraybrowne.org –better looking pages. I’m only drawing 100 visitors a month and 70 subscribers. There was a significant dropoff when I had to switch in October 2025 from Typepad to WordPress. I lost most of my Search Engine traffic.

Maybe more traffic this would generate more online book sales through the Alibris site and my online store at Bookshop.org. The links will take you to the pages. But I believe it takes a lot of traffic to generate any significant sales. (Managing my expectations.)

I would like to understand more social media like Threads and Substack. And make better use of Instagram. (How often should I post without being obnoxious. )What kind of mix of story and reel and post should I use.

Basically I would like to see more of a readership for my writing blogs and drive traffic to my long form essays which reside with Tropics of Meta. (You have to do search to find my articles.)

I think our first step is that you look my website and social media presence at what I am doing and then we talk about it over coffee. Remember you can always opt out at any time — no pressure.

First Payment

Several possibilities:

Look at the Rebecca Solnit books at University of California Press. I forget which book that you have but you may want the other two.

or

Look at the Ed Tufte books set that I sell. You may be interested. I can bring them when we meet and you can take a look.

or

Give me a list of a few books that you are interested in and I can get them through my bookselling sources.

One final note:

Here is the video of Down & Outbound.
