I have made the switch, it was a long time coming. I hesitated to pull the trigger on the idea, my blog has always been more an outlet than anything else. Never did I imagine I would actually want more out of it much less it creating another source of income. Two years ago, I headed over to blogger and created a blogspot account. It wasn’t until August of 2010 that I actually posted semi-regularly. A few days ago a check came in the mail from one of my affiliates {they are all posted on my make money page} and I just couldn’t let the idea go that my hobby could actually pay the bills. I researched and researched and researched for days on where to start .
There is so much I didn’t know. Other than I needed to obtain a URL and someone to host my blog. I knew I needed to be on wordpress, but how and where to start was foreign to me. I also wasn’t completely sure if I needed to be on wordress .org or .com.
My husband has a website that is hosted by godaddy. I know that he has had questions before and within minutes has gotten a real person on the phone to walk him through everything he has needed. I soon realized godaddy had hosting that was set up for a wordpress account that required no work on my end. I got my url and hosting for wordpress. Literally within 30 minutes athriftydiva.com went live. The transition was seamless. Go Daddy actually did all the back end work. All I had to do was set up a password and import my blogger to wordpress with the click of a button. Easy Peasy 🙂
I’m very excited to be on a new journey with athriftydiva.com free from the box I was living in with blogger.
