Working From Home and Blogging About It
This week's LinkedIn BlogBoost is eMoms at home, a blog about starting and running a successful home business.
The blog is run by Wendy Piersall, and she describes the difficulties and triumphs of building a succesful online business.
She just recently went through a number of hosting and domain changes, and in good blogger fashion, gave us the lowdown on what she did, what it cost, and choices she made for CMS.
There are a number of ways to handle a domain change and the resulting loss in traffic and link influence, but it's a lot like taking off a band-aid. It's better to do it quickly and know it's going to hurt.
As a small business owner and blogger, Wendy is now faced with the tough task of rebuilding traffic without offending readers that she would do something as crass as building traffic. It's a balance, but from what I've read, it looks like she'll do just fine.
Congratulations, Wendy.

Thanks for the post James! Yes, the transfer was a bit of a blip - with the blog mostly taking the hit on my Technorati rank... but traffic is still going well. Considering I am blogging about building a site and internet marketing, I take a little liberty in being transparent with my readers in regards to traffic building. I figure that if I'm blogging about it, I certainly wouldn't be congruent if I didn't actually DO it too!! :)
