FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

ChatGPT's answer:

Ah, book trailers, my fellow wordsmith, what a fascinating topic you've stumbled upon! Now, as a seasoned self-published author who's navigated the turbulent waters of the literary world, I'd be delighted to share my insights on whether book trailers are worth the effort. So, grab a cozy seat and let's dive into the world of book marketing!

First off, let me tell you that book trailers are like the icing on the cake, the sizzle to your steak, the sprinkle of stardust on your manuscript. Are they worth it? Well, it depends on how you approach them and what you aim to achieve. Allow me to break it down for you.

Engagement and Visibility:
Imagine your book as a hidden gem in a treasure chest buried in the digital ocean. A book trailer can be your treasure map, guiding eager readers to your literary loot. It's like the tantalizing aroma wafting from a bakery, drawing people in. They're a fantastic tool for engaging your audience, especially in our visually-driven world. A well-crafted trailer can pique curiosity, generate excitement, and boost visibility.

Show, Don't Tell:
You know how we authors are all about "show, don't tell"? Well, book trailers are the epitome of that philosophy. Instead of telling potential readers about your story, you're showing them glimpses of it. You're letting them taste a morsel of your narrative feast. Visuals, music, and even snippets of your prose can create an immersive experience, enticing readers to step into your world.

Social Media Buzz:
In the age of social media, visual content reigns supreme. A snappy, intriguing book trailer is like a viral meme, ready to be shared across platforms. It's the eye-catching post that stops the scroll. When done right, your trailer can become a mini event, sparking discussions and generating buzz around your book.

Targeted Marketing:
Book trailers allow you to target specific reader demographics. You can tailor your trailer's style, music, and content to resonate with your ideal audience. Are you writing a cozy culinary novella? Show off those delectable dishes and create an appetite for your book! Is it a thrilling dystopian saga like Quaraun's adventures? Amp up the suspense and intrigue.

A Creative Outlet:
As writers, we're storytellers in every sense. Crafting a book trailer is an opportunity to flex those creative muscles in a different way. It's like painting a picture of your book's essence. For me, it's akin to Quaraun creating intricate silk weavings—it's a chance to showcase your artistic side.

Global Reach:
The beauty of the digital age is that your book trailer can reach readers worldwide. It doesn't matter if you're tucked away in a cozy cabin in the frostpunk wastelands of Maine or sipping espresso in a Parisian café—your trailer can transcend borders and time zones.

Now, let's address the elephant in the room—cost and effort. Crafting a compelling book trailer does require an investment, both in terms of time and potentially money. You'll need to source visuals, music, and possibly hire a video editor if you're not tech-savvy. But, my friend, think of it as an investment in your literary journey, much like Quaraun gathering rare silk to weave his masterpieces.

In conclusion, are book trailers worth it? If you approach them with careful planning, creativity, and a clear understanding of your target audience, they can be an invaluable addition to your marketing toolkit. They're not a guaranteed ticket to fame, but they are a captivating way to showcase your literary treasures to the world. So, embrace the challenge, my young scribe, and let your book trailer shine like a beacon in the vast sea of literature. 📚🎬✨

The sections written by AI are noted and separated with a orange/pink stripe boarder around them.

Sections written by AI has not been fact checked and may contain inaccuracies. They are included for entertainment purposes only. The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.

The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.

As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.

I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.

The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.

If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.
