agree, being on neocities isn’t about gaining followers fast, but I need more visits and followers to gain more sales bc my site is basically promoting my shop

hi!! my motivation really comes and goes for this site, but my biggest piece of advice is really just to pace yourself. take your pages slow and remember to take breaks. this is the easiest way to combat burnout for me ^_^

okay and as for gaining followers (which ancientcrypt is right, usually that's not the point) but i understand that your website is your shop, so I would treat it just as a business. if you're off of social media that's going to be a little more difficult in my opinion, but definitely still doable. making a small update to your site everyday puts it in "global activity" everyday, which helps with people seeing (1)

your site everyday. also join webrings, cliques, fanlistings, etc. and make friends! that's my biggest piece of advice. you ARE on neocities (which we like to believe is way different than social media, but it's not, really -- besides just being on the indie web). if you're passionate about what you're doing, people will follow.

i switched to atabook a bit ago, I didn't see any way to export the messages so I copy-paste each one on myself (annoying, I know) but there might be other guestbooks that let you do that

i'm thinking of just getting rid of my landing page :( i feel like it doesn't highlight what's actually going on inside as well as it should be
i got rid of mine after seeing some people have a discussion about the point of having a splash/landing page, and how it's kind of pointless and serves little purpose. it also creates a barrier between the user and your website as a whole, so people might click through and see your splash page and decide to leave instead of carrying on through to the rest of the site
see that's what i was thinking
I like my splash page, which is mostly just a big ass graphic saying my site isn't mobile friendly- which is very true. But since it also serves as the thumbnail for when ppl on neocities are browsing, i think its done well for me. Realistically I think thats how most people are going to encounter it (as a thumbnail first). Just my two cents. u do u boo.
