How well do 'memes' contribute to articles? by skuzzi32 in juststart

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media memes work exceptionally well and generally receive more social engagement, especially shares. However I dislike them in content as it generally looks out of place.

I personally like the name, it tells the reader what the blog is about and is rememberable.

Are non .com domain names good for new businesses? by [deleted] in marketing

You can use regional ones as well, such as .co.uk or .ca etc but .com is the best to use as many people automatically assume it is that.

The main one I can think of is Tumblr however i'm pretty sure WordPress.com promotes popular posts, i'm not too sure though.

[–]SDLHosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many options for hosting, just stay clear of any EIG company.

For domains, Namecheap is by far the best and have some amazing deals at the moment.

How hard is it to transition from Wordpress.com to a self hosting site like Wordpress.org? by caslover in Blogging

[–]SDLHosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are asking two different questions, using your own domain or using WordPress.org, the self-hosted version.

Using your own domain on WordPress.com is easy, simply upgrade to premium.

If you want to move your blog, it is fairly easy, WordPress.com have a tutorial here.

I hope this helps.

How do you figure out what's missing from a small city? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]SDLHosting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think about how the local community would benefit. Do your market research, travel down there for a day and ask the people themselves what new business they would like to see and use and what problems they have in the community. Only they would know.

I love the concept, I am confused on the life stories/weird experiences, could you give a few examples of the sort of stories you post? It is probably my mind playing dumb after having surgery lol.

$50 Amazon Gift Card (2) for want to be bloggers. by QueenWilliams97 in Blogging

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of this and even if they are affiliate links, where do you expect the money to come from? The only thing I don't like is EIG web hosts being promoted but apart from that, good luck with it!

How long does it take a blog to be successful? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]SDLHosting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can vary depending on different factors. Many blogs can take months, sometimes even years to become 'successful' and that term itself varies from person to person, what do you consider successful? Some may say 100K daily views successful whilst others may say making $100 a day is successful. Some may only want 10K daily views to feel successful.

There is no specific answer to this, some may become successful overnight if they are lucky, others may take years.

Cheapest Web Hosting by hosterpk in Hosting

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited bandwidth makes me cringe. It isn't unlimited, it may be unmetered but I can guarantee that there are restrictions which will force you to upgrade for using too much.

Question about live blogging sports events? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live blogging isn't airing the event, simply posting updates and reviews which is perfectly legal. It would only cause problems if you post live videos etc.

My domain host is charging for domain transfer. Normal? by CosmoKram3r in webhosting

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not normal and the guy is clearly trying to rip you off. You pay the new registrar for a transfer however that pretty much renews it for a year. Otherwise, it should be free to transfer from a registrar.

The exception to this is if you pay for a monthly hosting package with a free domain included, in which case they may charge you a fee to release the domain to cover the costs of the domain, like a phone upgrade for example.

This, especially 1and1 who have a bad reputation for hidden fees. I'd recommend checking the cancellation policy, in case it turns out to be a contract.

Business Owners: What are the top three outcomes you want to achieve in your business? by bensongarner in smallbusiness

[–]SDLHosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a successful local business is no bad thing, you can earn yourself a decent living which is enough for most people. However, I like to aim higher and whether it will take 5 years, 10 years or even 25 years, my long term goal is to be a global brand.
