It's been two years and a month since I launched my first "real" website. I call it "real" because it's the first one that ever went anywhere.
I tried my hand at blogging and ebay-ing and etsying before, but all of it went nowhere. No traffic, no visitors, no sales, nothing! I didn't really have any strategy that I stuck to either so I guess it was pretty half-a%%ed of me to think anything happens without a plan.
If you know my story, then you probably know I started my How-to-Make-Jewelry website at the end of October 2007.
Look at me now, Baby!
Here's where I am according to SBI''s ranking page:
What's that number? Alexa ranking is a way of ranking traffic and popularity of a site. There are over 100 million sites on the web, and Alexa (now owned by Amazon) aims to rank them all. (Alexa comes from the name "Alexandria" as in "Library of Alexandria" which had all human knowledge stored within it. )
The Alexa ranking refers to where your site is on the scale of 1 to infinity. Google is currently #1, Facebook is #2, Yahoo is #3, and so on. And I'm 180,320! Pretty darn good for a one-woman show!
And I'm catching up to Rena Klingenberg, Hi Rena!
Do you have a website? Check your ranking here on the Alexa website
I checked my site worth on Website Outlook too, but that was really just more for fun. I have no idea how they put a price on it. But according to them, How-to-Make-Jewelry.com is worth....
Wow! Is someone going to give me $14,600 for it?
Probably not. But kind of fun to see. They got my ad revenue wrong - I make a lot more than that, so maybe I'm worth even more?
If you want to see what your site is worth you can click on the picture above to be taken there too.
Do you want results similar to mine? I'm offering lessons using the same strategies, except we'll be building Handmade Jewelry Sales Websites! Just register (free) on the right if you aren't already signed up.
(You'll get a free report explaining my whole strategy and philosophy too.)

Hey Christine
I tried to leave feed back for your PDF on how to get results... it went to a page that said "thanks for the feedback". I couldn't leave or say anything. I will say this here though, EXCELLENT report. Lots of it resonated with me, gave me ideas and made me think about how I've bee doing in the past. I highly recommend it if folk haven't read it yet. By the by, I've had FOUR sling babies. Wretched little monsters and all I can say is "Thank the Gods for the slings!" ;-)
