Hi Leisa,
Sounds like you are overwhelmed already with what you are doing. To get visitors and buyers to your site, so they know who you are and what you are offering, it does take time and effort.
I am sorry you feel lost and overwhelmed by everything. Take a day off rest breathe and be kind to yourself. When you feel relaxed you will feel better. Eat the BIG Elephant one bite at a time.
