Talk about a few new domain acquisitions
A coping strategy I implemented to help me deal with kids during COVID-19

20 years ago was the best time to create an online business. Today is the second best day. If you’re spinning up a new website and need hosting, I personally recommend siteground. What’s better is they’re offering 3 months Startup Hosting for only $0.99! They offer free email, SSL certs, you can transfer in a wordpress website or create a new one with the press of a button. They also offer auto-scaleable cloud hosting, wooCommerce hosting and more! (you can even register domain names there). They have an easy to use UI, secured through two-factor authentication (please set this up). Their support staff is always helpful via liveChat when I use that.

Coronavirus, kids out for the year, economic outlook. The wholesale market is ridiculous still – who buys all number domains (b/c I don’t know of a single end user who has them or uses it for a website). “Domain investors” are judgy-jerks still.

Good things

Initial goals of 1 podcast per month (starting in August). I’m a bit ahead of goal – which was modest to be fair.
I’ve learned to quickly record/upload/update podcasts
I feel like I’ve gotten better at speaking
People are listening – it’s a fairly small number, but even looking at the data that indicates where people stop listening is encouraging. Thanks to everyone for that.

Bad things

I’m a little too formal in my approach – and I don’t think I’m being “myself” enough. So I want to get smoother at just talking w/o all of the organization.
Guests – I haven’t had any. That’s mainly b/c I’m convinced I’m working through the kinks. But I need to make that leap and soon.
Lots of room to get better. Intro/music/talking points, less stuttering, being myself, being more consistent. Most importantly, delivering information my listeners really want and deliver it in my own way (with my personality).

Future Plans

Guests
Maybe some better music or sound effects
A video on youtube (do people really want this?)
