Nice.

Awesome post. I want to thank you for the endeavors you’ve made in composing this intriguing article.
Thanks for the kind words, Mahmoud!
Wow! Really nice article with a lot of knowledge on blogging, good to read your post sir.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you found me here 🙂
I don’t see domain privacy as an option in bluehost. I clicked on the recommended choice for hosting. Is this something I should be concerned with wanting and not finding it available in my choices? Should I just go with the cheapest option since this is my first blog and I don’t know what I am doing? Please guide me!
Hey Rebekah! If you went with Bluehost’s Choice Plus Plan (the one I recommend), then domain privacy is included in your plan—so on the final checkout page it should say “Domain Privacy Protection: Free” (meaning that it’s included in your plan selection if you went with the Choice Plus).
That being said, I 100% feel that for your first blog, yes—you can definitely be fine just moving ahead without it and running on their cheapest plan option. You can always re-evaluate and upgrade your plan in the future as your blog grows anyway, so don’t sweat it. I say push forward!
Glad to see this article, I really enjoyed it. I will definitely share this with my friends. Keep up the amazing content.
Thanks, Jessica! 🙏
I really enjoyed while reading this post. I learned a lot from this post. It is really helpful for us. Thank you for sharing a lot of knowledge.
You’re welcome, Maria! Glad you found my guide 🙂
I cannot imagine how many hours it would have taken to write this post. My best estimate is 60 hours. This is not a post, it is a book. This is the 5th time that I have come to this article while wandering from another article of your blog. This is an amazing article that has been written very well and in simple language. Thank you for this article and I would like you to write more articles like this. Apart from this, your income reports are also very motivating. This time I was reading your July income report and as soon as I read it, I got excited and I am feeling refreshed and very highly motivated too. Thanks again.
Thanks for the kind words, Ravi! I’d say 60 hours might even be on the low end if I had to estimate the amount of time that’s gone into this guide over the past year or so. Really glad you found it so helpful, that’s what I like to hear 🙂
Wow, this is a very very helpful article! Thanks for writing.. I think these days is all about connection. And I am talking both the connection with your customers as with your employees. Internal connection is sooo important and most of the time forgotten. In the company I am now working for, we use a very handy bpm software to make sure this internal connection is also there, and it is really helpful and cool haha!
