Quite a Learning Experience- Part II

In Part I of the learning experience, I talked about getting my listings set up in Shopify. There was plenty to learn as this was my first e-commerce website and I found it to be frustrating at times--- but nothing compared to what was to come! Linking apps to my store!

I have come to one main generalization- everyone who puts "how to" articles and tutorials together ASSUMES the reader/viewer knows more than she actually does!  :-)   I think I watched more tutorials on YouTube in one week's time than I had all the rest of my life combined! 

When frustration hit a high point, I called my daughter and asked, "What's that horrible noise?" 

Her reply was "I don't know, Mom.  I don't hear it.  Is it outside?"  

"No, it's in my house- it's me banging my head against the wall!"

Little by little, app by app, I began to link things to my website that I needed.  An email marketing app.  An "Ask a Question" app.  A gift wrapping app. 

I still need to do some research on apps that can help drive traffic.  But for now, I am taking a break from my website to do some much needed creating.  It feeds my soul and puts me in my happy place.  There is always plenty of time in the future for more head banging, right?
