A Whole New Look

"We've been very busy here!"

It's amazing what I can get done when I put my mind to it.  Or for better words, when I ban myself from the social sites.  I surprised myself that I could commit to such a big task.  And overall it's created a "mold" for future doings.  Like I stated earlier, I'm attacking my goals head on without looking back.  

Earlier this week on my Facebook Page I mentioned that I was revamping my blog.  Then I decided what the heck, let's update everything.  I'm aiming for a fresh approach to the new year.

An so I made the list.

~Update Etsy banners in both shops.

~Update Meylah logo in photography shop.

~New Blog layout and header.  Add buttons.  New pics of the puppies.

~Create a Welcome Page for Facebook.  I confess.  Code scares the shit out of me, so this will most likely be outsourced.

~Update content in all shops.  I highly recommend that you do this with all your online venues often to make sure it's information is current.  I was finding entries that weren't needed and content that I left out.

~Change Twitter Background and Profile Picture.

~Order new business cards.

~Convert Facebook over to the new Timeline.  I prefer to do it myself other than Mr. Zuckerberg doing it for me.  (Actually, it's not that bad).

~Launch new products.

Crazy list, eh?  Actually it wasn't all that bad.  I kept one key word in mind when working on it.  Branding.  I've spent a lot of time reading up on the important role it plays in your business.  You want people to know who you are and what you can offer them.  Create an identity (your logos) for yourself.  I could go on and on, but I think you get what I'm saying.  

Conclusion:  I'm happy to report that 75% of the above list is complete (audience clapping).  A little fine tuning and the welcome page are all I have left to complete.  Aren't we always "tuning" the inside details?  Then the real fun begins.  The launch of new products for my Etsy Paper Goods Shop.

Are you following my blog?  On the right sidebar you'll see a box to enter your email and subscribe to my feed.  In the process of this makeover I've come up with some useful tips for Etsy sellers.  Stay tuned for more.
