I want to share a tip. Something that I decided a couple of years ago was to start thinking about what I wanted to do with my blog. I wanted to be able to use it as a platform to market other items outside of my post. I wasn’t sure when this would change, but I knew that I wanted to do it on my own.
Whether it be books or short stories, a new website, products etc I wanted to have one collective recognizable space for self-promotion. In order to do that I needed to create a custom logo. Being broke and wondering if this was a good idea, I reached out to my girlfriend who had a marketing background for suggestions. She suggested Fiverr. I searched and found a wonderful designer who designed my custom logo. If you’re new to blogging or want to design a logo, think about Fiverr.
My custom logo took about 2 weeks and the designer that I selected went back and forth with me a couple of times and it was perfect. The price and the images including the vector file were about $75.00. Very reasonably priced.

I just signed up for Fiverr about 2 weeks ago but I still have yet to use the service but I was happy to see there are so many different types of services provided. I’ve been wanting to self-host my site for some time now, was all set until I found out my original theme wasn’t compatible with the self-hosting platform.

Dang. Why not self-host through wordpress.org?

That’s what I was trying to do but the Premium template I was using wasn’t compatible on wordpress.org. I wish I would have known that before I attempted to make the change.

Dang. That sucks. People should know that. Maybe you should write a cautionary post before choosing a premium template and then trying to self-host. Will it work on Go Daddy?

I left GoDaddy for Siteground but the problem wasn’t with them vs. WordPress. When I get my thoughts sorted out that’s not a bad idea to do a post on this topic. I believe my mistake was assuming that paying for a premium theme meant it would be compatible to use when transferring over to wordpress.org but I was wrong.

I never knew that, so I’m sure other people don’t know. I think we would all assume that.

When I was going through it with them it was one of the first things I mentioned to them that they should have it documented somewhere because I looked everywhere before making the changes and this particular piece on this specific premium template was not mentioned anywhere. When I have some time I’ll have to go back to see if they’ve updated their instructions on moving from wp.com to wp.org.

This is very good to know. I have been thinking about using Fiverr for design purposes but just never got around to it. I have, however, recommended it to someone else. Now that I see what the results can be I am more likely to use that service.
I love those kind of sites that allow you to hire someone do a task without charging you an arm and a leg.
Thanks for this Sis 🙂
