Starting Out

A friend of mine, who has good intentions for me, suggested I started this blog. My first thought was, huh? What's a blog?

So I did some research. Apparently, this blog, this very one, will help me get my new internet business buzzing on the internet. I hope so, because, personally, I think my website is awesome. I just can't seem to figure out how to get traffic to it without spending a fortune.

SEO's seem like SEAs to me, a VAST sea. It's so overwhelming, I wonder if my brain will ever, as my daughter says, "wrap around it". Now, I am smart, very smart, at certain things. But some things just elude me. I can actually feel my brain closing down when I try to understand this whole search optimization thing.

So, I've created a LittleLovees Face Book page. I've started a blog (is anyone READing it?), and I have started a small, very small, budget for google adwords..pay per click (shudder!). I have a Constant contact account, with 1,000 email addresses in it! What more do you want from me, I ask that SEO God???

Seems like a little Faith is in order here.

I created Littlelovees.com because I was an early childhood Music and Movement Specialist once. I got so frustrated because every session I taught, I would spend hours combing the internet trying to find child-safe musical instruments for kids under 5. I had to go on all of the larger musical instrument websites, and comb them for anything that "looked" like it might be safe. I wasted a lot of money, since many of them had hidden dangers, like screws, sharp edges, and toxic paint. I actually called the top sites, begging them to please just create a "early childhood instruments" section on their websites. I walked many of them through what that meant.

I sold my Music and Movement business last year. Now, in my "Pre-tirement", I am creating an online business, just to help my former collegues and the thousands of families out there find interesting child-safe instruments, as well as educational items, and other childhood necessities.

I'm full of hope that this business will be as successful as my last one.

Faith, right?
