Advice for breaking down the wall
Okay so I'm one month in and hit my first proper hurdle. I'm sure it's one that many of you have probably experienced so I'm putting out a plea for help!
The lack of traffic and sales is really bumming me out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm well aware that I have little hope of achieving sales so early on but writing posts, trying to include keywords and finding each day that you have had two or three visitors (most likely myself being one) and a stupidly high bounce rate is a little heartbreaking.
I've been following the course pretty much to the letter. I chose a niche that I really care about for the very reason I could put all my enthusiasm into my content. But it seems to be having little to no effect.
I refuse to give up. I'm not a quitter. But is there any effective way of getting over this feeling of uselessness?

I just visited your site today. Your site looks great with its simplicity, and you're pointing to Amazon where people can buy your recommended special shirts.
Do you have a Facebook fan page for your site?
A lot of my countrymen here in the Philippines are making a killing in seasons like this (Christmas season) selling special shirts like yours online (online selling). I even had a girl friend who sold a lot of shirts just using a Facebook fan page and she don't even have a website! So, with you have a website + a fan page, you have the edge.
Think about it.
Your website + your site's fan page = Better results
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Social media is my next job on my course so maybe I can see a little christmas miracle soon!
Thanks Coach :)
I noticed there's a Google AdSense on your side bar. I'll help you get some pennies out of that. ;)

Jay's video "Preparing your content for Traffic" might help, here's a link: Preparing Your Content for Traffic . It's just under an hour and a half but worth every second.
Thank you for taking the time Gaylene. I really appreciate it :)
