Hits but no conversions. Site Redesign ongoing! Feeling motivated.

 11/10/25 12:31 am

I am a little overwhelmed sometimes.  I have visitors to my store but no conversions (sales) yet.  I remain undaunted.  The store is still being revamped.  I need to get more test prints of products for live photos. I need to have SEO (search engine optimization) done.

I experimented with advertising.  I get traffic.  It works.  But no sales.  The product I used says "go within" on it, and it's geared for women.  I worry that women might feel the product opens them up for sexual harassment.  I can half hear a man cat calling them offering to "go within".   A re-design is in order.  

The store re-design should make the site more trustworthy.  The shopify AI had several bits of advice on how to make the store more trustworthy.  I also need to do a first time buyer ad campaign of 10% off first order.

I also see I need to up my designs on yoga products.  There's a lot of gorgeous clothes out there with superior design.  I came across a successful POD yoga clothing store, which can help me to see what sells.  My pullovers seem popular (well, they get hits, anyway).  

Funny, my science Hawaiian shirts get the most organic traffic.  If I have to change the store to "Chemist", I will LOL.  I need to expand on this with a DNA shirt.  I also have a Cas9 shirt.  My blot shirt does well too. 

I actually had a few people (like 5) view my blog.  I was surprised.  I thought this wouldn't have a single soul visit this.  People are busy.  I don't know if anyone would be interested in my attempts to work outside the normal system and be out here on a limb on my own.  I think of my former colleagues who are working in industry.  They're focused on the assays they have to run.  They're thinking of the PowerPoints they need to generate.  Or they're thinking about the protein they're purifying or the cells they're culturing. Maybe they have to work on goals or their self reviews.  It's that time of year.  But, I doubt they care about my little effort.  I miss the industry, but I do crave independence and I am working hard now to figure it out, now that I've committed to it. 

On the coaching front, I need to refine my training further.  I understand the concepts of marketing myself, but my YouTube channel hasn't gotten traction at all, but I just started.  I understand that women who are divorced are mostly just scared.  So I'm thinking of focusing on this more.  It's so stressful.  They can't think about a dream life yet.  They're just trying to get through a day. I joined Facebook groups for divorced women.  So, I'm getting a good read on their challenges.  They want to build a new life but its one foot in front of the other.  I'm not sure if any of these women believe in manifestation.  It works, but it's a skill. I need to refine this skill myself.  So, my next video will be about calming and stress relief. 

It took me a while to get going and to commit.  Now I'm on my way to creating what I want.  I know I'll get where I need to go.  I have no doubts.  I'm psyched.  I'm feeling motivated in this moment. I just need to stay on focus and off of social media.
