My Own Domain

Posted by abie on 1:25 AM in
A lot of my blogging friends have been convincing me already to get my own domain since it really has a lot of advantages over my free blogspot account. I have been thinking about it and right now I have two options:

* I can get my own domain name for my original blog (howellabie.blogspot.com). I have inquired to all the paid blogging sites where my original blog is already approved. And so far, only Smorty requires that I re-apply again my new domain name. The rest of the sites only requires me to send them an email and they will update my account with the new domain name.

* I can get a domain name as my new blog. This is les complicated since I just have to wait for 3 months until it gets indexed in Google and as soon as I have 10 posts per month within 3 months, then I can just apply for it’s approval from all the paid blogging sites. But the disadvantage of this is that, I now have 3 blogs (howellabie.blogspot.com, princessbela16.blogspot.com and my new domain) to maintain which I think would really take a lot of my time.

Hmm, what do you think guys? I plan to buy my own domain this weekend (Cut off for my credit card). Please help me decide.

hi abie.
i don't know how option 1 works.

so i'd go for option 2 hehehe.
just submit the sitemap to google para maindex agad. i could help pano gawa sitemap pag wordpress ang ginamit mo hehehe.

i think 3-month-policy isn't applied anymore.
i was approved by one when my domain was 3 days old.

disadvantage nga ba ang 3 blogs?
saken, advantage yun. :P

hi sis! just saw ur comment sa blog ko, thanks ha and i will gladly help u then pero bago pa din me sa wordpress & sa mga domain etc ha...

With re: sa post mo ->
For me ha, if you really have time you can go for option #2, pero if u have like a regular work or something medyo mahirap yung 3 blogs, hindi mo maiiwasan na may mapabayaan ka sa isa sa mga blog mo. Pero e push thru mo na yun pag bili ng domain mas masarap ung feeling hehehe :)

Have a nice day sis!

Hi Abie!

Option #2 is the best one if you have time to maintain 3 blogs. :) Maganda yun kasi you have 3 blog that would generate income. But I can attest na it is very time consuming as I'm currently maintaining two and hirap ako so bihira na ako magblog hop. Add up to that is my office work load.

Kasi sayang lang kung 3 yung blogs mo pero di mo naman ma-maintain. Sayang yung cost and baka maging source lang ng stress.

Option #1 is better if you decide that you don't have the time and energy to maintain 3. Mabilis lang sa paid blogging sites na i-approve yung migrated blog mo. So you will still maintain 2. Send mo lang ng email yung paid blogging sites to add replace your old blog with the one with the new domain.

I hope nakatulong. :)

abie, hmmm i can attest that maintaining 3 blogs is super time consuming. if you notice, my 3rd blog, puro duplicate entries nalang yun. paminsan minasan lamg ako magkatime to post an original entry there. but if you thin naman you can handle it, go. but minsan downside is, kung pare-pareho lang nakasulta on every blog, minsan other bloggers dont visit na the other blogs... well, obeservation ko lang yan ha...pero no question that of course income is going to be bigger if you have three. pero minsan readership will suffer if you talk about same stuff naman. like me hahahaha

hi abie. for a working mom like me, maintaining even one blog can be difficult at times. dalawo o tatlo pa kaya? hehe. so i'd go for option#1 (if i understand things correctly -- transferring content from the free blogspot account to your new site right. tama ba?).

Mich says:

hi abie, if you time, go ka na with 3 blogs! additional kita din eh :) although i must warn you, 2 blogs pa lang ako hirap na mag-maintain. it's up to you talga.

hi abie! binasa ko na din suggestions nila and ganon din masasabi ko. hehe! ok yung option 2 kung gusto mo talaga na i-career yung paid blogging since mas ok siya dahil 3 blogs na yung mag generate ng income. pero medyo mahirap lang mag maintain lalo na if you're working pa. tapos like what jane said, baka may isang blog na mag suffer pag di mo na kayang i-maintain. isipin mo na din kung ano ba yung purpose ng pag blog mo. kung mag generate lang ba ng income or para din ma-document mo yung mga

hmm naputol yung message. anyway as i was saying, isipin mo na din yung purpose ng pag blog mo. to generate income ba or to document yung mga nangyayari sa yo. kung both, then go for option 1. pero kung marami kang time and maraming kwento, then go for option 2. hehe! i hope nakatulong. good luck! :)

Hi Thea,

Thanks again for helping me out sa indexing sa google. My blog is now indexed na daw.

Hi Eds,

Yun nga iniisip ko eh. Baka di ko naman ma maintain pag 3 blogs. Pero I'm excited na nga to get my own domain.

Hi Farah,

Naku sis, true ang sinabi mo. Pahirapan talaga ang opps ngayon. That's why I'm really, really considering in buying my own domain.

Hi Nice,

Yan talaga biggest concern ko as I have my regular day job din. Baka di ko lang din ma maintain, so sayang lang.

Hi Jane,

I'm currentky maintaining 2 blogs pa lang and di na din ako maka blog hop, so feeling ko talaga mas mahirap talaga pag 3 blogs na. Nauubusan na nga ako ng topic sa 2 blog ko eh...hehehe

Hi kelly,

Hirapa talaga mag maintain ng blog. Di na nga ako gaano maka blog hop kaya I'm really considering option 1.

Hi Mich,

Naiisip dagdag kita talaga yun. Pero tama ka, mahirap talaga mag maintain.

Hi Toni,

yun nga problem, wala na din ak gaano time so feeling ko mahirap talaga pag 3 blogs...hehehehe

Thanks mga sis sa mga reply at suggestions nya ha.
