SiteSell and Site Build It! and my new website

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I started a new website back in March, called American History Fun Facts. This was my first website (but it won’t be my last) using the SitSell Site Build It! program, and I have to say… I’m very impressed!

My first attempt at a website was not very successful. Traffic is low on my handcrafted jewelry website – Julia Hutchins Designs. When I decided to build a new website, I wanted to make sure that it was successful. With the SBI! program, I felt sure that my new site would be just that.

It’s been successful beyond what I could have imagined, in only a few short months. I can’t wait to see wait the next six months bring! My traffic stats are shown below, starting with my first partial month in March, and going through August 1, 2010.

March through July SBI traffic stats

March through July SBI traffic stats

As you can see, my traffic is great for a new site! Visitors more than doubled last month! My bounce rate is in the low 20′s, depending on which source I use to look at it. I’m completely sold on SBI! and will definitely build my future sites using their program. I have to do the hard work on my website, but SBI! provides exactly the tools that I need to do it! That, along with the knowledge they provide with their 10 step Action Guide, gives me everything I need to build a successful website.

SiteSell offers a monthly plan that you can cancel any time. If you are wanting to build a successful online business, or even make your current business more successful on the internet, I highly recommend trying their monthly plan.

If you want to watch some videos of other SBIer’s who are running their own successful businesses, read some of their stories here.

Creations with Heart – Share the Love…Blogger’s Unite Featured Artisan July 20, 2010

Monday, July 19th, 2010

This Weeks Featured Artisan is Creations with Heart

I truly enjoy creating jewelry and it\’s a bonus and a pleasure to make it available to you!

I love to create classic and western jewelry that will always fit your style! Gemstones, crystals, pewter and leather are just a few materials I enjoy working with. I\’m a \”dog mom\” so including animals in some of my creations is a must — I love them so much! A percentage of all animal related purchases is donated to help the animals. It\’s something I like to do to help our furry friends that need and depend on us.

You\’ll see jewelry styles ranging from classic, animal themed, southwest, western and inspirational. My wish is to have my guests smile when they put my jewelry on. When you smile, you feel good!

I hope you enjoy the jewelry I\’ve created and may it bring you joy and happiness

National “Thank Anne” Day – Anne from Made for me by Oaklie

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Today, April 22nd, has been declared “National Thank Anne Day”.  Who is Anne, you might ask?

The Anne that we are thanking is Anne from Made for me by Oaklie.  Not only does Anne make gorgeous crocheted scarves and accessories, she also works tirelessly to help promote other artisans, like me.  She started the “Share the Love… Blogger’s Unite” program that I participate in to promote fellow artisans on the On Fire For Handmade Ning network that I belong to.

Anne deserves her own day, and I am happy to participate in the “Thank Anne Day”!  Thank you, Anne!  You are very much appreciated!
