Will you critique my new author site?

I've created this site so my audience knows where to find me. I write teen and young adult novels and short stories. Do you think I am on the right track? http://www.theorlandogray.com/

You wrote "four metals" instead of "four medals" on your My Gigs page. Just thought you should know if you're selling proofreading services (which I used to do back in high school for extra money).

The layout looks nice though.

Haha. Thanks. I will fix that right away.

No problem. :)

Did you have many customers?

SW-User

I didn't get a ton of them, but I had a few regulars that liked my work. Attracting the right people that'll come back to you for other projects is more important than pulling a bunch of different one-time gigs, in my opinion.

@aiyana: That's nice. Regular customers are the best type to have. So far when I critique people praise me for it. They say that it is helpful and humorous at the same time. But they don't want to go out of pocket for it. Do you still critique?

SW-User

I don't, I only did it in my junior year. That was probably three years ago now.

@aiyana: But seeing you used to critique, does that mean you also enjoy writing?

SW-User

I like it, but I'm more into art.

@aiyana: Cool! Do you mind if I see some?

SW-User

Pretty much all of my paintings are in storage right now because I didn't have room for them, but I'll let you know if I finish any more pieces soon 😊 school is just getting in the way lately.

@aiyana: 😢 Then I will see them next time. Anyway, it was nice chatting with you. But I need to return to my writing. It never ends!

SW-User

It was nice talking to you too. Good luck.
