Someone asked about buying a framed print and it's been tweeted about and is going around facebook. All of this and no finalized commissions. I've been told my site is sleek and well designed and I'm sure the commission button works, but still, no commission deals done. I've had 4 people contact me about buying a map and when I quote them a really low price I hear nothing back. If I can't get commissions from all this I might as well give up now.

Edit: I'm sure people would love to get the attention I'm getting and let me say I am very grateful for it, but the commissions thing is always in the back of my mind.
This is all normal.

I once had my comic book reviewed in USA today, as one of the top non mainstream comics to find at New York ComicCon. It lead to hundreds of hits to my site in a few days. I got 7 orders for the comic.

I get lots of map inquires, and most of them never pan out. Some I even tell them, they aren't ready for a map, or that if they are planning on having someone publish their book, they should let the publisher pay for the map.

It just takes time.
