| Tapping Into My Reflection (Photo: christianyves) |
And it's true. I really did.
Being a good writer, or so I am told, and possessing the natural gift of gab, I figured it would a piece of cake.
I was wrong.
Between work, family and a attempting to have social life, it didn't leave much time to properly devote to running a quality blog or website.
Properly is the key word here.
I've seen websites thrown together in minutes, some good, many just so-so and I wanted to have create a quality website and not just make money
During this time frame, I had changed jobs.
I'm not really one to change jobs too frequently, however, it was a great opportunity in a related field and some travel was involved so there was even less free time to devote to website.
And then - - - I promptly got laid off.
That really rocked my world because in the business I was in, there are agreements signed and it basically meant I could not work for a year.
Not good.
Being the eternal optimist or at least trying to be, I told myself it was the perfect time to start a website.
There were so many factors to consider though.
Being out of work, I had to watch my pennies, and as you will later find out, the term, "When it rains, it pours" totally applied to me, but not in a good way.
After losing my job something happened to me that I can almost guarantee has never happened to anyone else and it resulted in huge medical bills and the inability to walk. It was very painful and I could not even think, let alone attempt to create a website.
Many more months passed and I was just starting to feel like Chellie again so I decided to forge ahead with my plan to create one or more blogs and had a number of factors to consider such as:
- Where do I start?
- Should I purchase my own domain name?
- What about hosting?
- How exactly do I create a quality website?
- What topics should I focus on?
- Would I administer the website on my own?
- What about security, SEO, social media and advertising?
The next series of articles will cover how I went about it and will provide detailed information about my experience and how you can start a website all by yourself on the cheap if you have the time and the perserverence..
