It's been quite
some time since I have posted anything to update this blog,
attributing a great deal of my absenteeism to the fact I have a
difficult time with something not to a certain standard, especially
when my names attached to it. Not that I'm 100% done (there's still a
lot of work and changes ahead), but it's a start.
Well, I worked on
my website for a while, trying to get it just right. Added content,
changed my mind concerning the direction I wanted to go in and
wavered with the simple layout for longer than I needed to. Getting
it just right can be nearly impossible if you really aren't sure what
you are doing in the first place.
This went on for
about a month when I finally decided I was never going to get it
perfect and I just needed to publish it without the need for
perfection. Not that I got to the point where I figured I would just
publish garbage. I just have to remember; I can edit it any time I
want to.
This being my
first website and a beginner with affiliate marketing I got lost in the learning curve, trying to figure out
things without even beginning to try them out. I was afraid of making
a mistake before I even started, breaking down my chances to learn
simply from the mistakes I wasn't making make. Make sense?
It was time for me
to commit and just decide. It may not be the best decision, but who
knows what experience I could come across.
So I finally put
it out there and made www.lordxatl.com
public.
Since doing so, my
hits started off very low. I could only find it using Google and when
I tried Yahoo, it came up with no results.
I waited a few
weeks to see if anything changed and it hadn't. So I did a little
research and looked into press release. I came across some sights
that would handle my press release for at least 89 dollars to start,
but that just seemed unnecessary.
I looked a little
deeper and found Freewebsubmission.com and discovered a decent
response almost immediately after.
Now this is my
first site, so I have no idea what to expect from my one attempt at developing a web site. I started with an
average of 11 hits a day, but after submitting my site to the other
search engines, I started getting mid to upper 30's. This has been
going on for about two weeks, so I'm exited to see what else I will
come across to improve my presence.
Not that I have seen a lot of feedback from writing articles, but I'm going to continue anyway.
