Site Design

 

    When people say coding is its own language, they mean it. This week we focused on design of the website as well as adding credit card payments. Getting everything set up is harder than I thought it would be. For payments, specifically through PayPal, you need to insert a code to allow the button to function and unfortunately it is not as easy as copy/paste. I still think PayPal is a good option for my site and I want to see it through. 

    The design aspect is fun for me and I’m glad a chose a builder that is a little more intuitive for now. There is a lot of information to make sure is added to your website and I am glad I can focus on that instead of trying to design a site without a template. Choosing colors was a hard task but I finally came up with a color scheme I like and now I just need to figure out how I want to incorporate it.

GoogleAd Keywords

Finding good keywords and avoiding bad ones is necessary for well preforming GoogleAd campaign.  A  good keyword is high quality, and relevant. It describes your product and targets your audience. It will be niche to your business and competitive in your field. It sounds like a tall order but being able to hone in your keywords will drive business to your site and offer a higher conversion rate.  Avoiding bad keywords will help to save money and grow your business quicker. I want to make my brand known as quickly as possible in order to help with word of mouth and get into the market I am striving for. If you start out advertising to the wrong market it could cause more problems trying to get into the RIGHT one.  It's similar to an indie author that I know. She started out making friend people in the "clean reads" community and really loves it but her books are a little more heavy than people in that community read so she has trouble marketing it to them. 

Writing an Ad

 This week we focused on writing and finalizing our Google Ads. I believe I have come up with some good headlines and descriptions, but I won't really know until we put them into action and see how they do. I'm excited to test out the ads and adjust as needed. I think going through with an actual campaign will be the best way to learn the ins and outs.  This is a youtube video our teacher shared last week that is a pretty thorough explanation of Google ads.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=DQmaymgbBfC5vjYa&v=a-JmhK9nKJk&feature=youtu.be What I will be testing out.  Headlines  Bookish Merchandise Prose Before Bros Prose Before Bros Co Literary Community Literary Designs Popular Book Designs Book Club Fits Shop Bookish Tees Merch for Readers Book Lover Merch Inspired by Bookstagram Inspired by Booktok Inspired by Indie Authors Niche Bookish Apparel Descriptions Book Sweatshirts and Tees Inspired by Your Favorite Books | Literary Community | Shop Online No...

Quality Score and Google Analytics

 Quality Score      A Google Ads quality score is like a check engine light. It shows when something is in need of attention but doesn't tell you exactly what. The score is best off of three things. Your click through rate, the relevance of your ad to what people search for and the quality of your landing page. It's an overall performance score at how well you are doing at giving the consumer what they want. A few tips for raising your score are: 1. Optimize the mobile site. Be sure it is easy to navigate and has a fast loading time. 2. Answer the user's search. 3. Treat data responsibly.  Google Analytics      Google Analytics gathers data on your user. It tell you how long they are staying on a page as well has how they navigate to each page. It also shares your demographic. This data can help you further optimize your site, generate leads, drive sales, and raise brand awareness.
