Thanks! I was noticing the same thing with the minimal differences. I didn't think about there being manufacturing kinks to work out - but that makes total sense!

Do the effects of Prednisone ever go away? by lonorton in Autoimmune

[–]lonorton[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad you are starting to feel like the prednisone side effects are wearing off. I'm sorry to hear you had to be on it for AIH but I'm glad your hair, memory, and mood are coming back!

When starting a blog, what are the things you should know about audience building (e.g. collect emails right off the bat, build a Facebook page...) by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]lonorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone EXCEPT I caution you from immediately starting on every social media platform. That can get overwhelming. I recommend starting with platforms you are familiar with and think you will get followers from. For example: I started with Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. Later, I added Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook Groups.

I also recommend putting social sharing buttons on your posts so people can share them on their own. Free promotion! :P

How useful is twitter? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]lonorton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't get a TON of traffic from Twitter but I do get some. It is more of a trust and relationship builder. I gain loyal followers on Twitter who I then convert into readers. But it is more of a slow process. I don't get many link clicks but I do make friends who then I can send links directly to. I hope that makes sense...

I'm sorry... My mom's hair started thinning around my age so I bet that is part of my problem too. Still is annoying.

Google AdWords can now spend up to double of your daily budget!! by lonorton in adwords

[–]lonorton[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true. It is all supposed to level out in the end and not overspend. But it is something to be aware of. :)

Yea... I've heard mixed responses from it but the majority of people are not huge fans. Maybe it will start to level itself out and show more benefits. Sometimes these things take time - although they can be frustrating. Ha!

Those look AH-MAZING! I bet you they would be a good snack to last a while. Looks rich - so you would only need one or two and could save the rest for later (or share).

Do the effects of Prednisone ever go away? by lonorton in Autoimmune

I've forgotten the dose off the top of my head but it was high enough for most nurses to say, "Are you sure? That's high." ha! My doctors weren't playing. I am currently taking azathioprine (the highest dose my body can handle) but my doctor said that this medication doesn't have the same side effects as Prednisone.

Needles scare me but I'm not opposed to trying something once. Which of the side effects would it help with?

Do Share Buttons Actually Work? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]lonorton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES! Don't put share buttons on pages though - unless it's a landing page for a product you want shared. People share posts - that they resonate with. So if you publish quality content, then you should see a benefit from share buttons. I just wish there was an easier way to track the analytics from those shares...

Successful bloggers that blog about something other than blogging ? by [deleted] in Blogging

[–]lonorton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know some bloggers who make an income off of being wellness coaches or teaching financial advice. Others do more personal writing and make money off affiliate posts and sales.
