To all the folks who don't believe Cohost can be used for marketing because of a lack of Numbers

Analytics for itch.io bundles are notoriously less detailed than analytics for regular projects, but approximately Day 1 of the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle has 5 purchases originating from cohost.org for both the Fright and Treat Editions each. t.co (aka Twitter) has been noted for most sales of the $10+ Treat Edition, but at least one person coming from Cohost dropped double the amount for the $60 Fright Edition. My sincerest gratitude to you, you epic giga chad :host-love:

I am excited to see how the sales go over the next few days! This will make for an interesting post mortem at least.

I feel like people are letting the lack of numbers scare them despite what feels like extremely clear and present engagement to me.

I keep seeing my roommate post his (very cool) looking game to Twitter and getting zero interaction, and being like 'man you really need to get on a site that actually has discoverability'

At some point I feel all the informative tweets about "replies, quotes, RTs help the algorithm!" have conditioned people to just do that out of obligation rather than a sincere interest in doing anything actionable about the content in the post. The visibility helps, yes, but when business-y folks talk about the marketing funnel to sales (and hopefully, folks actually playing the game), the conversion rate in regards to the number of interactions is pretty sad :eggbug-nervous:
