I just got this comment on my blog I was considering using WordPress for a new
blog but 13 dollars a year for mapping a domain seems high why is there even a
fee at all are you serious $13 hey what's up
Sara Cal focus on building your audience those are the products I'm just doing
everything come take a look well I realized that $13 can have an impact on
some people's lives and $13 can be a meaningful amount of money I mean I grew
up for $13 a lot of money but if you're about to start a business and you're
concerned about spending $13 on your domain name for a web business you need
to not start that business you need to go get a job or a second job you need to
save up some money so you can actually invest in making sure that you do this
business the right way as an example you might be wondering what is a good thing
to invest in well I always invest in three things I invest in basic
infrastructure infrastructure like hosting domain names email marketing
services course platforms things that allow you to actually have the business
the second thing you should be happy to spend money on is developing your
knowledge and skills and the reason why I say this is because this is like half
not even half of the books that I own and that I've read I take books I take
courses by person every year I actually set aside money purposely to just by
course I tell myself that here's how much money I'm going to spend this year
on courses and I spend it there are so many people out there that spend an
inordinate amount of time trying to figure things out and what ends up
happening is they put themselves in this position to be super stressed out about
their work and when you're trying to figure everything out on your own you
end up wasting more time then you need to waste and that's
why I always tell people if you don't have the money just yet it's okay
do yourself a favor start saving to start that business now that way when
the time comes to invest in something like infrastructure or knowledge you can
do it the third thing that you should have no problems spending money on it's
a peace of mind sometimes when you're thinking about hiring somebody they
might throw back a price at you that is a little higher than you wanted to spend
and at that moment you're like all this is out of my price range and we go find
somebody else and then you end up hiring someone that is less than perfect and
they give you a less than perfect job this almost always is more costly in the
long run I remember hiring a designer that cost a few thousand dollars and
they put together a great design for me when they were finally done it just was
unusable I couldn't use the design at all now you would think I learned my
lesson I didn't learn my lesson because I did it again until finally I decided
to go find the guy that did the premium design and and it cost me a ton of money
but it's funny because it would have been cheaper had I just didn't hire
those two people to begin with now what I want to hear from you is what are you
spending money on now that you could cut back on and why that said what are you
spending money on right now that you should probably spend more money on
leave a comment right now and I look forward to hearing from you
you
