Things are starting to get real.... Having to get my website up and running has been stressful. When I researched the different website builders it seemed really easy. Like you just put in your stuff and it made it all look and run perfectly. But when I did it for real it was a lot more complicated. I think I made three different websites before I finally went with one. It was confusing and I am still not sure I know what I am doing. I am going to need to watch some more videos to know exactly how to get things to work. I am excited though and feel like this might actually go somewhere. I have said so many prayers about this website and had so many late nights and early mornings working on this site and that is only one part of running a business. I just need to take a deep breath and keep on keeping on. In the end it will all work out.

Every week in learning how to start an online business teaches me one more thing I never knew I never knew. This week, I have learned a lot more about the importance of the right headlines and descriptions for my Google Ad campaign. As I have been diving deep into the Google Ad world, I have enjoyed trying out different headlines and keywords and seeing what combinations produce the best advertisement outcomes. I learned a lot about how important relevance and keyword insertion are to making my ad more dynamic and also relevant to my potential clients. Overall, this learning experience was fun, and I can see its value of having good keywords, headlines, and descriptions in running an effective campaign. I am excited to see how my rewritten ad performs and to evaluate if any tweaks need to be made as I watch what traffic it produces. I am grateful that I somewhat understood what I was doing this week, and I am excited for next week's challenges.

This week I learned about SEO's (search engine optimization) and how important social media can be in helping improve SEO's. From this weeks reading's and articles I learned that social media isn't just about making and posting content it also can be helpful in connection with your business plan to make that information or content searchable and tractable which in turn will lead people to my website and help get more traffic. I like that it is a free cost wise to promote my online business. I also learned more about what Google Analytics can do to help me know which social media sites are most effective for my online business. That is going to be an effective time saving tool.

Bad and Good Key Words This week we learned the importance of choosing keywords that people might use to search for our products that aren't too broad or too specific. What I learned about Keywords and Google Ads this week has been eye-opening. I never knew that companies choose keywords for their websites. I also didn’t realize how important it is to choose the right keywords to get more traffic to your website. I learned a lot this week about what makes a good keyword and a bad one. You don't want it to be too specific because that could hinder some potential clients but you also don't want it too broad or people will be led to your site that have no interest in your product. For my website, because I am offering Photography portraits in a specific location, it is important that my keywords lead people who need a photographer in Colorado. For example, a good keyword would be “Portrait photography Colorado” instead of just “Pictures”. I look forward to experimenting with ...
