i'M off track - Help me please

Hey kumisi69,

I am sorry for your experience but happy for your improvement. My first reaction was to suggest you begin creating a resource for others that have gone thru what you have been thru and how to cope with it, equipment that you use etc. But you are so passionate about the fantasy niche I think whatever you can pour time and effort into and it does not feel like work is what you should be doing.

Just about anything WordPress related can be found on video in YouTube if you type in your problems.

I think people that are into video games would love to know how to create images. And alot of them are really into fantasy themed games. Maybe you can focus on them. Its a huge lucrative niche.

They hang out on gaming sites, tips sites, and social media very easy to find and with your talents you can certainly catch their eye and interest.

I think my best suggestion is just get started!

Do not worry so much about SEO and those types of things, especially if you are feeling overwhelmed right out of the gate.

Get WP installed on your hosting site with a theme you like, you can always change it later.

Google "Free Wordpress Tutorials" if you need help with basic stuff. You do not need to know everything just how to create a post and a page to start with.

As far as content start with your story. The type of art you like. How you got started. The mediums you use. Post a gallery of your work. Start with you. As you do that your knowledge of WP will grow and so will your abilities.

If you want to expand from there you can. If you interest is "Fairy Arts and Crafts" stick that into The Google Keyword Planner and make a list of Keywords you can target. Things like:

fairy arts and crafts projects
fairy arts and crafts ideas
fairy tales arts and crafts
fairy tales arts and crafts ideas
fairy tail arts and crafts
tooth fairy arts and crafts
fairy arts and crafts for preschool
fairy wings arts and crafts
fairy themed arts and crafts
fairytale arts and crafts for toddlers

Write articles using similar ideas as the article themes....and go from there.

Start slow, start simple, start with your story and let people you know about your new project.

Hope that helps!

Hi K,

So happy you're feeling better! One note; can you earn online if you're on disability? Just thinking about legal ramifications. Hey awesome, you're working your passion. I say, go down that road as you are, start a self hosted Wordpress blog to build trust, to gain authority, to brand yourself and to show off your work, and naturally, you'll connect with other influencers in your niche. Also, dig deep into this forum. Listen in to the really helpful, friendly folks who are out to inspire you, and to grow your presence. You have all you need to know here; treat it like going back to school. Be patient. Read. Study. Take notes. You're back in school, and hitting the books, so you're being patient, right?

Study, study, and put the knowledge you pick up into practice. You are ahead of 99.99% online and in your niche because you're following your passion, not money, and hey, it took me 6 years about to learn this lesson.....now you're getting practical, and learning sound, helpful IM techniques, and hey you already have a career online too.

Onward and upward!
