I have finally finished merging the majority of my websites. I still have about 10 more items to include in my catalog, and then I should be able to fully start my promotion campaigns.
The change in doing this has been almost immediate. I’m no longer having to focus on items for 3 websites. For example, before I would have to decide which children’s items I would make, which adult items, and which miscellaneous, some of which fit in two different websites at the same time. Now, it doesn’t matter. It’s all for the same website. I can sit down and get 3-4 new items completed in a day and not feel guilty that I worked on one more than another.
The only issue I have now is deciding on what products I want to blog about or include in my Newsletter. My list hasn’t necessarily grown, but I have been consistently marketing to the list I have. The wonderful thing is that my traffic has tripled. That, in itself, is a huge plus! Who would’ve thought. For one of my websites, I wasn’t receiving as much traffic, now that I’ve combined them, I’m getting much more traffic.
The next issue is to up my affiliate game. I do have an affiliate program on my website, but it doesn’t bring me as much traffic. Plus, most of the time I just receive spam. I changed the way I add affiliates, so now that has stopped. I want to add Share-a-Sale, but it costs $700 to get started with them. Mostly, you put your payment money in, and they take care of payments for you. Unfortunately, to begin, it is $700.
As for a monthly goal? I want to double that traffic I have for July.
