I have 2 full ecommerce sites, 3 single page sites and a full time job and right now a big struggle I’m having is trying to strike a balance between driving more traffic and improving my site conversion- which frankly are not very good.  I know that until I can sustain a certain level of traffic that has be to where I put my priority, but there’s a catch 22 in there.

One thing that will make it a lot easier to drive more traffic is a little bit more money to buy some help with all the work. But oooops, it would be a lot easier to get more revenue if the sites were converting a bit better,.

Now it’s entirely possible that I’m getting unnecessarily bent out of shape because frankly, business is kinda dead at the moment.  I’ve hear that from a lot of other people lately though, that traffic is down and people are not in any great screaming hurry to part with their money.  Come to think of it, neither am I.

Yet, I don’t feel discouraged.  I get a little frustrated now and then and tired and there are days that I am desperately tired of looking at these monitors when I could be out playing golf or – more likely- pushing a vacuum cleaner around my very messy house.  But mostly there are just so many things I want to do and I wish I had more time, but you know, it’s been a very long time since I woke up in the morning and felt that the day ahead of me was going to be a bore.

I might not get it right the first time but I’m still sure I’m doing the right thing for me.
