Bit of a story.... bear with me.....
So I started with WA quite a long time ago, likely 10 years, maybe less, no matter ... I was diligent and immersed in making sure I followed the lessons and built my first website. SEO etc all the keywords and all the stuff we are told to do....
Life goes on and other things crowd in .. travel with tennis son, helping husband build his business, answering his phone for customers etc... Im a woman.. I can do a multitude of things !

Fast forward to 2024 when I decide my natural skincare business would be better if it was a shopify website. Bit of a kerfuffle here getting it transferred but all sorted out and it was fine.... but.. what didnt I do?
All the blinking stuff I did at the start of my WA journey... forgot about seo, forgot about keywords and the way they should be inserted into my website.. and... and this is the really annoying thing..
I go to see the guy who is dealing with my husbands website seo and adwords, he is tweaking things to make it more productive and he takes a 5 minute break and says 'oh why dont we have a quick look at your site Helen ' ( I had been moaning about the fact I dont want to fairs and festivals but want to get online better and get into wholesale)
Im thinking ooh hes going to be pretty impressed with what I have got. Hahahahah ! Thats when it dawns on me that I did not do any jaaxy or set up seo or anything other than populate the products on the site. My god... all that experience here and I become an airhead!
