I’ve given myself a deadline

I’ve been working really hard since my last post to get my first affiliate site up and running.

I am determined to get it up by the end of this week.  GreatCamerasguide.co.uk will profile the best digital cameras.  The site isn’t up at the moment - well it is, but I’ve got the Launchpad theme from Themeshaper on it. And Google is coming visiting every few days so it shouldn’t take long for it to come back and index the pages when it’s up properly.

I have a few things left to do:

  1. Glossary - I have developed a glossary full of technical words relating to cameras and photography.  I have used the WP Snap Wordpress plugin.  I’ve just about got it working but need to style it to look more like my site.
  2. Add content - I’m trying as hard as I can to get some content written.  I’m trying to target some search words which might attract some visitors before Christmas.
  3. Sort some images - I need to download some camera images and resize them - a site trying to sell cameras with no images of the actual products would be pretty poor.
  4. Sort out all the analytics tools - it’s all the things like registering the site with google webmasters and google analytics
  5. Boring but important content - I’ve got to sort out all the legal stuff, privacy policies etc.
  6. Upload it all to my hosts
  7. Activate Akismet - I won’t be forgetting that lesson again.

I shall be foregoing my evenings television (and my ironing - that’s no hardship believe me!)  to get this sorted and it might involve some late nights but I’m determined to get something up soon - I’ve been faffing around for far too long now.

I am worried about it though - once it’s up I really do have a proper commitment to make.  It will still involve hours of work every week - and I want to add main shop part - probably using PriceTapestry - so I will still be working hard on it over the weeks to come.

Why not subsribe to my GreatCamerasGuide feed to see if I manage it!
