My Small Business Journey ~ Day to Day in July

My Small Business Journey ~ Day to Day in July

I had a meeting on the 30th of June but I am telling you about it in July so take what you will. 

We looked at my SEO in the meeting and it had jumped up dramatically. It went from 9.4k volume to 23k volume and is continuing to rise. I had 65 SEO clicks on one keyword which was Advent Calendar. So I am here to tell you that SEO does work! It takes time and especially if you have over 100 products in your store like I do but it is totally worth it. 

Here's a quick break down of what you should be doing. You look at your product and write into a search bar (i use Spyfu) all the keywords one at a time that you think relates to your product. You then chose the highest search volume keyword with the lowest search difficulty and thats what you call your product. You then put it in your title your alt text (your pictures) your description and make sure you url is called what your title is called. Its thats simple. Time consuming but simple.

Yay its Friday and its also the last day of term for my children which means for the next two weeks no alarms and just getting up when my body clock wakes me up. 😌

Yesterday I finished a blog! I know its been a while since I have done a product spotlight blog but Christmas is July is a huge keyword at the moment so I thought I would take advantage of it with a blog about some of my products you could do in July. 

Christmas in July
I am also working on a Christmas in July activity box and some favour boxes to put up on  the website.

I have also made some new birthday cards for the new shop in Blackwood the Lemon fizz is opening up. 

I have been asked to put my cards in both shops and go on commission but I still really want to be part of the lemon fizz community so I think I will keep my shelve in Lemon Fizz and display other products as well as go on commission if this all comes about.

I have been working on some new gift boxes to put in the lemon fizz shop and up on the website. They aren't complete yet but here's a sneak peek.

Gift boxes
I also had fun over the weekend making some new large number cards I think they turned out great and are just so adorable! 

These will probably be going up on the website too. 

I also have a new wholesale endeavour that I am working on with Chilli sauce distributors where I am making Father's day cards with  a chilli theme so when they are a bit more complete then a rough drawing I will show you them too. 😉

Gosh I love school holidays! I am looking after my 8 year old Niece at the moment so yesterday we went to the movies then in the afternoon I worked on getting these fathers day chilli cards complete so I could show my wholesale customer. 

Chilli cards
She loved them and would like four of each so that is what I will be working on today! 😊
