If I could start my blog all over again I would....

What would you differently if you could start your blog all over again?

- register a domain name?
- hire a designer?
- not blog about my family?

What would you do differently?

When I first started, I had a plan in mind of where I wanted to go so I was listening to advice from everyone who suggested hiring an editor temporary to help me focus my content, buying facebook fans, buying twitter fans, and everything under the sun. All I could see was $$$ and I want not prepared financially for a huge expense. I did take the advise on the editor because I thought that people were suggesting that because I was a horrible writer. She was A NIGHTMARE. She want her own blog but some reason did not start one and then wanted part ownership of mine even though I had decided to partner with by BFF, when I terminated her, she went through my fans list and bad mouthed me. I don't think that I will ever recover from that one. If I had to start over again, I would join MBC first and never hire an editor.

Hi Leteesha,

I thought it was an awesome name and the truth is once a military spouse always a military spouse. As a military spouse myself, I find it helpful when other people locate information for me or having interesting things that can benefit my life. If your husband makes a career out of the military or he decides to pursue another career, you will always understand the workings of military life and be able to offer some wisdom that will benefit all branches of service.

I'm new to blogging and this forum! I'm so glad that I've found you wonderful ladies. I'm taking a mental note of all these post and learning from them.

I'm very new to blogging but I know right off the back that if I could do it over again, I would have chosen a different blog name that I could grow with. This was a huge mistake on my part. I'm an Army spouse and my husband may not be in the military forever LOL. I really don't want to change my blog name from Thrifty Military Wife but I see now things could change.
