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.

I’m “branding” my tweets with MarketMeTweet!

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

I just signed up for an awesome application called MarketMeTweet!  Prior to MMT, I had been using Hootsuite to keep my three Twitter accounts running and to have everything in one place for easy access and use.  But I just heard about MarketMeTweet last week, and this is the greatest Twitter app since sliced bread, in my opinion!  I quickly became an affiliate of MMT, and just today I signed up as a user too!

What’s so great about MarketMeTweet?  For me, it’s the ability to “brand my tweets”.  Look at my tweet below, and you will notice at the bottom of the tweets it says “via American History Fun Facts” and “via Julia Hutchins Designs”.  Those are my branded, clickable links to my websites, American History Fun Facts and Julia Hutchins Designs!


Isn’t that cool?  Instead of advertising for Hootsuite, or Twitter, or Tweetdeck, I’m now able to advertise for my own websites!  Not just one, but all of my websites!  I set up a “brand” for all three of my Twitter accounts, with clickable links to my different sites.  You can set up as many brands as you want, and use on as many Twitter accounts as you have.

Now this feature would be more than enough to sell me on MarketMeTweet, but they also offer lots of other great features.  I can schedule tweets, either individually or bulk (by uploading a text file with multiple tweets).  I can schedule them through Google calendar, which allows me to schedule my tweets through a mobile device that supports Google calendar.  I can also look at all of my scheduled tweets by week, month or even year.

I can also look at my Facebook personal and business pages through MMT (and update them!), follow and unfollow people, send one tweet to all three of my Twitter accounts, import my RSS feeds to my Twitter accounts, set up reply campaigns, and so much more.  This really is the perfect tool for my businesses, and I am so glad I found out about it!

If you are interested in trying them out, they offer a 3 day trial.  That’s how I started out with them, and it’s only been one day and I already know I’m keeping it.  I LOVE MarketMeTweet! Now I’m off to play with it some more!

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

Great new Twitter app – MarketMeTweet Application

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Have you heard about “MarketMeTweet” yet?  Do you use HootSuite, Tweetdeck or some other application to send your business tweets out?  If so, you are missing a great opportunity to send out your own branded tweets!

MarketMeTweet combines so many of the features you love (scheduled tweets, twitter managment, RSS, facebook integration, etc) with the ability to “brand your tweets” with a clickable link to your website!  How cool is that?  Instead of seeing “hootsuite” or “tweetdeck” below your tweets, you could be sending out a clickable link to your website with every tweet you post!

You really should check it out – it’s very affordable (especially with other app’s talking about charging for their services).  Why pay another service to brand themselves through your tweets, when you could be branding your tweets yourself?

Their lifetime plan with special pricing ends tomorrow, so if you want to take advantage of a great lifetime price ($99) – better hurry!  But don’t worry, their other plans are so affordable that you can still take advantage of them after the lifetime special pricing ends.
