There are a lot of people out there who don’t yet have a website or blog and always say something like “I should really do that, I could use the extra money” or “I would love to write about X, I bet I could do a blog about that”. My response is, what are you waiting for? No, really. What is it that is standing in your way?

I see so many people who sit on the sidelines and keep saying those same things about how they should do this or that but never lift a finger. I will admit that blogging and/or running a website isn’t for everyone. It is also not something you should take lightly, but if you have ever even considered starting an online business then what could possibly be holding you back?

Since I don’t know your answer - heck, you probably don’t even know it yet - I will just list a few of the “obstacles” that might be standing in your way. Who knows, maybe you’ll see your obstacle and realize how to overcome it.

• I don’t have the time
• It’s too much work
• I don’t know “computers” well enough to run a website
• What if people make negative comments about my articles
• I don’t want to risk all that money
• I’ve got nothing to write about
• There are already too many people doing that, too much competition

Do any of these sound familiar? Let’s take a look at that list again, only this time I will give you some answers.

Aloha and welcome to the new and improved Beach Bum Blog! To make a long story short, we were not happy with our previous hosting provider’s inability to allow us to upgrade our blog software. So we ended up getting a better deal with the new hosting provider and have already seen an improvement in speed and reliability, not to mention the world class tools that are offered with our new hosting provider.

So you might be wondering, just who is our new hosting provider? We’ve opted in with Bluehost. We’ve hosted other sites there but now that they are offering unlimited add-on domains we just couldn’t resist! And this is a great idea for anyone out there who wants to host multiple domains without paying a small fortune in multiple hosting fees. Bluehost is also extremely affordable and you’ll be amazed at all the extras you’ll have access to. I highly recommend them. Click on their banner below for more info. If you don’t have a domain yet, just go there now and get one! What are you waiting for? Sheesh!
