20 years ago was the best time to create an online business. Today is the second best day. If you’re spinning up a new website and need hosting, I personally recommend
siteground. What’s better is they’re offering
3 months Startup Hosting for only $0.99! They offer free email, SSL certs, you can transfer in a wordpress website or create a new one with the press of a button. They also offer auto-scaleable cloud hosting, wooCommerce hosting and more! (you can even register domain names there). They have an easy to use UI, secured through two-factor authentication (please set this up). Their support staff is always helpful via liveChat when I use that. Would you use my affiliate link?

Intro – migrated my blog/domain name challenge being a time suck/still working for less-than-free. Coronavirus, kids out for the year, economic outlook. The wholesale market is ridiculous still – who buys all number domains (b/c I don’t know of a single end user who has them or uses it for a website). “Domain investors” are judgy-jerks still.

Good things
- Initial goals of 1 podcast per month (starting in August). I’m a bit ahead of goal – which was modest to be fair.
- I’ve learned to quickly record/upload/update podcasts
- I feel like I’ve gotten better at speaking
- People are listening – it’s a fairly small number, but even looking at the data that indicates where people stop listening is encouraging. Thanks to everyone for that.
Bad things
- I’m a little too formal in my approach – and I don’t think I’m being “myself” enough. So I want to get smoother at just talking w/o all of the organization.
- Guests – I haven’t had any. That’s mainly b/c I’m convinced I’m working through the kinks. But I need to make that leap and soon.
- Lots of room to get better. Intro/music/talking points, less stuttering, being myself, being more consistent. Most importantly, delivering information my listeners really want and deliver it in my own way (with my personality).
Future Plans
- Guests
- Maybe some better music or sound effects
- A video on youtube (do people really want this?)
