been a long time

Ok so it has been a long time since i was really active on this blog - a big part of the reason - last summer cafepress decided to stop paying shopkeepers their royalties for sales and only give them 10% - so i have been working hard to move all my products to zazzle i have also moved my primary web url from http://www.shopaholic-chick.com to http://www.shopaholicchick.com - i still have both but my primary is now without the hyphen in it.

it has taken me most of the last year to move everything over from one site to the other and i am just beginning to be caught up. i will try to feature some new products off the new site over the next couple weeks.

i really think the zazzle products are much higher quality and seem to hold up much better then the old ones.

New Store Released!!

Ok so i spent the last several weeks working on my new shop - called from santa;s desk - these are thank you cards from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus which you can have personalized for your kids!!

there are dozens to choose from with several different inside messages for your child perfect for if your child wrote a letter or went to visit Santa in person at a local store or mall.

Stop by and check them out today here are a few but there are many more in the store

It has been a while since i updated my blog i have been busy working hard launching new stores and moving all my designs from Cafepress over to Zazzle - ever since Cafepress decided to steal our profits and only pay us 10 cents on the dollar for what we were making - so they could steal out profits for themselves....

so while moving to zazzle has been long and stressful it has been fun they have so much more i can so there like custom cards and designs as well as layering designs to make them even better!

not feeling well

I managed to add about 5 designs today - since i was not feeling well today

New Shop

So today on top of trying to calm to fears of panicing shopkeepers i decided to launch a new shop. I launched a new shop www.cafepress.com/witcheswardrobe - it has about a dozen designs so far and I am hoping to have another dozen added tommorrow. It is time for me to throw myself back into my work and make some major changes to bring in the big bucks, i have been slacking off the last few weeks and i cant afford to keep doing that.

Shake Up Today

So today cafepress announced that the Volume Bonus & Affilaite programs will be undergoing a change.

Personally I have always seen the volume bonus as just that, a BONUS. So not a big deal for me, but some shopkeepers consider it part of their regular income. So they are not so Happy. Some shopkeepers have even begun closing shops, which personally I think is a very rash decision to make. Everyone needs to first wait it out and see how it works. Yes bonuses may go down - but comissions will be going up with the changes in the affilaite program. And with the new lower threshold for base bonuses - there is a chance bonuses will not really be as adversely affected as people are thinking.

All we can do right now is wait it out and see where it goes - and remember a Bonus - is a Bonus - and should not be taken as anything more!

Got a book

Ok so today i bought a new book, dreamweaver for dummies, i have not gotten to read it but i think i will sit down and start on it later tonight or tommorrow. I am kind of tired this evening from running around doing errands today in this horrible heat and humidity.

expansion

Ok so today i decided to make some expansion moves and registered a whole bunch of websites and got dreamweaver to work on building pages....now i just need to lear how to use dreamweaver so i can build these pages...

i also found out that there are still some issues on my other page which was built in yahoo page builder...i thought i was the only one having problems, but apparently it is not just me because someone else reported the same issue :(

no motivation

Ok so today I just have no motivation, i did prepape some new art work for my store but i just can't seem to get into working right now...everytime i get started the phone rings or someone comes to the door - i think imma just give up for now

today

I managed to get about 40 designs loaded into my shop today yayayaya!! I am so encouraged I hope i can keep getting motivated like this!

ok so...

ok so i haven't done much in the last week. i have been catching up on some long deserved sleep and getting some house work done. i did add about 15 new designs last week, but that is not nearly enough. i really need to get motivated and just spend a whole day adding stuff and get this stuff all loaded. i do need to make some more designs too, i have loaded just about everything i have had lieing around for a few months (or years)...back to work i guess

so yesterday

i got nothing new added to my shops - well no new designs - i did add some new products into one section that i noticed has been getting sales that can use some beefing up - and i realized it was mixxing some important products - i also created a few dozen new images to beef up one section that i am hoping will do very well - and placed some ads on google adwords for this section - once the section is set up i will post a link to show you what i mean!! stay tuned

this morning already

so far today i went through and added the "my friends" link on a few stores i did not realize were missing it, and then i went into my website www.shopaholicchick.com and added a new friend and removed a friend who cannot seem to keep his banner running, i have warned him a few times before but he never seemed to fix it, and it has been about 6 months, so oh well i can't keep him if he cant keep his own site running! i need to get some more done on adding those designs i made yesterday but right now there are some issues with uploading new images to cafepress so i will wait, most likley the servers are just overloaded, it happens on weekends sometimes. maybe i should go to the beach for a while??

nothing....

i feel like i accomplished nothing today. I did prep about 40 new designs for one of my shops, but i did not get them loaded. I did get more stuff loaded into google base, i have gone back to unsing instant cafe reather then cafetoolbox since it seems to be working better for me right now. ever since the new cpextract change cafetoolbox has stopped working. i have reported it a few times but nothing seems to have changed oh well. i also worked on some meta tags for my shops. oh well guess ill do more tommorrow

it's been a while

Ok so i know it i has been a while since i posted regularly on here - but i have been really busy....i was travelling abroad going to school full time and opening a whole slew of shops. my newest shops are www.cafepress.com/sportygirls - a shop for girls who love to play sports & www.cafepress.com/whoilove which is a spurr off of another shop. sporty girls was just an idea i had when i got a special request email from a parent about one of my designs...and realized the of my sports designs my pink ones seem to sell well - so i decided to run with it!!! who i love is more i love ____ designs....i have letters A - C loaded already and i am working on letters one at a time i hope ot have them all up by the end of the year. Currently my goal is to get 250 designs a week loaded all summer - so i will try to keep you up to date on the numbers....i have about 125 this week but it is friday already so i better get back to working. I am going to try to stop in every day and post the number of designs i got uploaded for the day so i can track myself a little better!!!


PS my friend just opened a new shop www.informedgear.com
