SEO Struggles

SEO is a pretty simple concept, but putting it into action is quite a struggle for me. I'm pretty tech savvy but playing with keywords and this and that, I guess, is too much for me to grasp. I re-opened my shop last year and there hasn't been much sales nor traffic. I received some mentoring from small business groups that focus on online selling and there's so much to learn about SEO. I get the concept, but it's hard to figure out which is which.

Not going to lie, getting my little business to take off is taking a lot of work, investment and sometimes I just feel defeated. In contrary to what I'm trying to focus on - positivity.

But... but... but... I'm not giving up now!

I have new designs ready to create and list, and more ideas are coming. While all these great things seem to be promising, I can't help but feel helpless with this online dilemma - and it's one thing I never thought I'd have an issue with. When I think about it, a brain block is probably what's preventing me from learning. I'm hesitant to learn, for whatever reason. Honestly I don't know why, but it's most likely because it's so overwhelming. 

Ohh, this auntie is struggling...

So despite the struggle, there are a lot of ideas in mind for my shop. I will soon be adding more items.

I love painting - so why not make paintings!

Water color is my favorite medium. I know that many people think that many people associate water colors with children, probably because there are always water color kits for kids that are cheap and easily accessible. However, real good water color paint can be very pigmented and long lasting. Of course, don't expect it to be cheap but you can find quality mid-range brands. I've been thinking of making my own water color, but, of course, here I go again with "making my own".

I have a craft-shopping addiction.

I also like abstract and minimalist paintings. They resonate with me. I often make my own, but then don't know what to do with them. So here's something I made and put up on my store.

It's Monday. There's more to come for this week. I really wish there's more time but let me go ahead and dive into this SEO world for now. I just finished my day job, still quite stressed as always, but no stress no gain? Okay that's a toxic way of thinking. But hard work pays off!
