My website is born!

I referred in a previous blog to the fact that I've dropped off the WA radar lately. I wanted to show you what has been occupying me for about twelve hours a day for the past several weeks. It is not finished, it is not perfect, but if I wait until it ticks those two boxes I'll be a REALLY old lady and I just don't have that sort of time. So here it is in its imperfect glory...
I have gnashed many teeth and stamped many feet in birthing this baby. I have never used Wordpress before (and the relationship is still strained) and I have certainly never had an ecommerce site or integrated PayPal. I have pushed myself to the limits of my knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and then crashed through. I have learned how to set up, create and upload print-ready artwork from my own original drawings. And I have turned down two paying jobs because they would have taken me away from this task to which I am committed. For someone who hates dealing in uncertainties I have deliberately pushed myself out the door of my comfort zone and locked it behind me. Dr John Demartini says that a person grows most in that place between comfort and discomfort... which, if it is true, means that I have been growing like a freakin weed lately!

The site is far from finished and so far has only two products - well one actually because they are a physical and a digital version of the same thing. I haven't yet worked out how to include an optin page nor given any thought to my offering or my call to action. I know I will include reviews and links to other products but I haven't had time to sort out any affiliate programs yet. I have a whole bunch of freebies to include once I work out how to upload them and integrate them into my optin process. I have to write and stockpile enough blog posts to last the next six months so I am free to create another 300-odd original designs to go in my next nine book titles. I need to watch more videos on keywords and SEO because I'm sure my site is all but invisible at the moment.
And I figure if I strap a broom to my back I can sweep the floor at the same time.
1.22am. My new bedtime. GMG out.
