subtle shill

>>15982580
sorry fella

I know this feel, but it's 6 dollars to digital Ocean

>>15982593
no its literally not and don't misconstrue it as one

hostgator fucking sucks

>>15982580
you can get hosting from HG for like $2 if you don't know what you're doing yet wtf are you paying $20 a month for

>>15982580
you got scammed

HostBRZ

>>15982580
>Hostgator

Lmao
I built my site from scratch and host it on github pages and I pay $9 a year for my domain on namecheap.Yous an idiot, OP.

>>15982621
he means you’re trying to get us to ask what your project is

>>15982580
How much are you spending on marketing?

>>15982580
>>another month of my project not making money
>>you paid $23.80 to hostgator.com

its ok sergey. you can always dump another 700k on us to cover the expenses.

>>15982876
oh no definitely not
maybe when I actually finish it and it starts making money

not now

>>15982580
Do you have just one project or several running at once?

>>15982580
You should have at least three personal projects running at the same time. Even if you're a wageslave. I'm completing my first now and the next two will come even faster.

>>15982580
Also OP, why did you choose Hostgator? I'm about to pull the trigger on A1 Hosting, but the problem they had earlier this year with the massive compromise does still worry me.

>>15982580
>>15983072
what's your project anon?

>>15982580

I'll bite - what's your project OP? Actually curious since I'm working on a project as well and I don't want to come out on the other side with a million hours worth of sunk cost and no recurring revenue.

>>15984206
What's your strategy?
Nowadays, b2b subscription based models work well. That's what I've been working on as of late.

>>15984018
>You should have at least three personal projects running at the same time
Is this true?

t. 0 projectlet

>>15982580
S-Sergey?

>>15984018
>three projects

How? I'm spending all my free time on one project (vidya game) and just the asset creation alone is eating up nearly all of my time.

>>15983046

>>15982580
Link site

Literally got my domain for a whole year for under $10 on namecheap

What the fuck are you doing

>>15982580
sometimes you have to work at something for years until they become profitable. going from 0 to 1 is one of the hardest things to do in any new pursuit.

>>15984642
I would say so. It helps spread your risk and once you do get more than one project up and running, then you have more security for cash flow too.
If one of your projects slums down in the winter time, the other two can help average the revenue up. Whereas if you had just one project you would be at the mercy of how well that preformed year round.
It's the advice I give to many people.

>>15985465
It really depends what kind of project you're working on, how much time is needed for that project, etc. For developing a game, that can vary too.
I did that last year. And I know that it takes a ton of time. It's very time consuming and I was working constantly on it. I personally found something else and put those project on a shelf to leverage later when I have a fair means to market it correctly.
Is your game targeting a niche audience of some kind?

Think of how you'll implement the marketing in advance.

>>15985757
Nah hardest is going from 1 to 0. You think you've made it past the hump and then you just get absolutely mentally nuked from realizing it wad just a fluke of nature and your never gonna make it.

IMAGINE NOT HOSTING YOUR SITE FOR FREE AND USING NAMECHEAP FOR A DOMAIN LMFAO


NETLIFY
GITHUB

OP MAYBE YOU'RE JUST NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS SHIT LMFAO

HOSTGATOR????????

IT'S FUCKING NEARLY 2020 LMFAO THIS IS MY COMPETITION HAHAHAHAH

>>15985724
depending on the assessed needs of the business, hosting can easily cost more than $10 a year desu

>>15986018
I just looked, if I wanted to host multiple domains through namecheap, it the middle of the way plan would cost more than the plan I was going to use in A1 Hosting. Not only that, after the first term the price would likely increase and that plan doesn't even come with email service. You have to add emails on for another ~$120 a year. That's over ~$430 for the middle of the way plan.

If an anon is trying a new project out on wordpress and it doesn't need a domain email, then it would be worth it. And I would even recommend it. But for the long run, I would say no. For someone who needs multiple websites, email (this is a must for professional business), and good bandwidth available all for the right price, this is not it desu

>>15984642
You don't need to start three projects at once. But it would be optimal to plan on having three going at one time and accounting for how that would work out in your life.

>>15982580
I thought I was the only one. At least we're trying to make it, r-rigt? Haha

Vultr is the best value hosting unless you've got a static site which can be hosted free on github or wherever.

>current 3 projects stalling for various reasons irl
>starting my 9th and 10th of 17 projects up tonight
>realize my 11th will be moved back since it'll cost more to buy up said company in a hostile shares takeover
>might never buy impact wrestling at this rate
>missed buying stardom
this shit gets tiresome but keep at it OP and dont let a bit of a setback stop you. Multiple projects is the way to go and >>15985993 is correct with what he said

>>15984567

B2C for the product I'm working on at the moment. Might expand the offering to B2B, but I need to earn a decent income on the B2C offering first. Marketing B2C is a bit difficult especially since it is cryptorelated, but we'll see - will probably have to come up with some creative growth hacking marketing strategy on various forums and communities.. What's your strategy?

>>15985724
>namecheap
dns registration is not hosting. hosting is $5-10 a month on the low end
>>15986018
>implying anything worth visiting is a static github

>>15986196
this is bait

>>15984018
>You should have at least three personal projects running at the same time
>doesn't even have one project done yet
lmao brainlet. I'm already working on my fourth and they're all profitable and low maintenance.

>>15986245
that's your wrong assumptions but tell me about your active projects anon i'd like to see what you're trying to accomplish

>>15986202
>cryptorelated
Not a bad area to be in at all since it's still the pioneer days for it when it comes to commercial utility.
Best thing to do to make it more marketable is to reduce the amount of uncertainty people feel about towards cryto and business. Provide simple and concise information on how your service does what it does related to crypto. Also make the potential customer feel more comfortable with crypto in general by providing short snippets of information that you feel is relevant and short snippets dispelling any common misconceptions people might have towards crypto in the context of business use.
That would all go on the sales page or maybe Q&A.

For my strategy on marketing I'm following something called the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) but adapting it for my niche market (which isn't necessarily tech related). I did research back in university with the TAM which proved it's value to me and I think you should look into the TAM as a frame work in finding the best way to sell your service to companies. It's solid stuff that helps explain what variables allow markets to react more positively to accepting technology. Lots of research to back it up too.
One of the biggest variables is perceived ease of use, so you would want to emphasize how your service makes a job, that would otherwise be either impossible or difficult without your service, easier for the company / their clients.
Best of luck anon, a toast to you.

>>15982580
Use an s3 bucket website
It'll drop your cost to about$0.50 per month

>>15986742
what could possibly go right with dividing your focus on 17 projects?
unlesss you're talking about work that takes only a day. How will a project that you spend less than 10 hours on compete with projects with thousands of hours of work in them?

>>15987004
I have multiple projects going at once because statistically only a few make it. Plus a few are more I want to pursue this but it's unlikely (buying impact or stardom). And I prefer having something going on constantly to keep me going and motivated.
Still waiting on you to post your active projects you're currently working on anon dont let everyone down

>>15987250
it's okay to let a project fail if it's not gaining any traction. but splitting up your time is not the same thing.
There's no way to make a competitive product by only spending a few hours on it. You're just lying to yourself by saying "chances are one of my 50 pieces of utter shit will make it".
Risking it by working on something instead of a job is about accepting the risk that it probably won't make anything. It's not about lying to yourself about the chances by spreading yourself thin.
If its about experience in many different areas, that's valuable, and do what you want but if any one of your 17 projects is a good idea, you need to drop all the other 16 and focus on that one.

>>15982622
This.. OP must be a dumb boomer

>>15982580
Don't feel too bad, anon. I started 3 websites. One of them very quickly started making me ~$200-300 a month, but it had upkeep associated which at the time I couldn't deal with, so I sold it for a very cheap $1500. The jabroni who bought it broke everything and destroyed the traffic, he can't even get the Amazon links to work. Now I have the time and I know I could be taking in $500/mo especially during holiday season but some retard owns it who killed it.

The other 2 sites were dudes. One makes me nothing, the other ~$20/mo which is just enough to pay my hosting fees. Overall I probably put ~300 hrs of work in, MOST of it on the site I sold and the site that makes me nothing. Feels bad.

>>15987291
Hmm still not talking about your active project/s anon and I know how I work and what works for me and having 17 projects I cycle thru until they all get where I want them. You assume I will drop them all which isnt a goal or plan unless it's not doable (buying stardom) otherwise it'd going to keep being worked on til it's done. None of these projects are get done in a day since im not rushing them. 5 are video games and 1 is a movie. There's also the book. Add in buying various business and opening a gas station here I have alot im working towards. Now again for the 3rd 4th 5th idk time what projects are you actively working on/towards? And buying crypto doesnt count.

>>15982580
>start small business idea
>forget you have to work 16 hour days for the first three years on it
>complain when it doesnt "work"
People like you think money grows on trees.

>>15987427
i have a paying job. how much are you making anon?

>>15982580
I use hostgator. Their service sucks ass. Absolutely shit tier website editing wysiwyg, and no fucking support for custom coded webpages.

Can't wait until my year is up.

>>15987737
Retired from wage slavery after the bullrun of 2017. So you're working a paying job but have no active projects you're working on. Come on anon you're better then this. Get some projects going

>>15987823
its a hosting service, not your personal web developer. a web dev would cost far more than $2.50 a month. that wouldn't even buy you an hour of pajeet's time.

>>15987880
so you have nothing on the line if you lose, and plan on failing. that's fine but don't pretend you're better than anyone for it.

>>15987899
I can code my own, im just lazy and wanted a wysiwyg to help me do all the layout work i hate doing.

But i ended up fucking myself. I got the layout for my site done, went to go modify the code and found out i can't. Now I'm sitting on a pile of shit and im out $30.

Ohh well, lesso s learned i guess.

>>15987427
I work the same way, well done anon.

>>15987908
I never said I was better I said you should get on projects because you're better then that. Dont twist words because you're not willing to get on that level just yet. But as I thought this was all about your inability to get things going in life and so you lash out on others for it. Not my fault your life isnt where you want I did my thing i made my money and now I can enjoy that. Be it buying impact wrestling or owning 2 lambos or buying a gas station in a cabin town or releasing video games on old dead consoles. I have goals and ambitions and I chase them meanwhile you sit online shit talking me or others for chasing their dreams while you yourself chase no dreams. This multiple hour convo is perfectly clear now knowing that. Step up your game own up to your own failings and stop lashing out at others because they have done well for themselves otherwise you come off as a salty seething bitch mad you're not rich.

>>15987946
Thanks anon glad to see another multiple ambitions man forging his way. Best of luck and many profits to you

>>15987972
> because you're not willing to get on that level
you mean above me? you got lucky on shitcoins and you're pretending you're successful. You don't know the first thing about running a successful project. You're mad about getting realistic advice and you're lashing out at those who give it while boasting about your wealth as if that means anything in the development world.
If you had to survive on your projects you'd be dead in the water

>>15984653
good man, cheers anon !

>>15988034
Lol now I know you're lashing out. I'm not pretending im successful im building my empire including multiple business and video games in the works. And to project and claim i'm mad. At what? Some nobody never was talking shit online he's never going anywhere and will never be anything? nothing to be mad about anon. But keep projecting it's obvious you're seething. And you are wrongly assuming none of my projects are successful. did you miss that i'm working on my 9th and 10th? You and your selective reading and goal post moving. You lost you're not gonna win this contest you started nor will you ever get on any level but wage slave. But fire back with how im mad im the bad guy my projects are all failures and I wouldnt make it with out the crypto money. Again you assume I had no money prior to crypto I just didnt have nearly as much. The amount of things you're wrong about is comical. But fire back some more projections and bullshit assumptions while telling me im a failure and wouldnt make it. Some people

>>15988161
so how many *successful* projects do you have anon? please tell me more mr crypto neet

>>15988230
I run a bed and breakfast and party store as 1 project. I own a bakery tho I almost rarely have any hands in that and its almost all run by my manager who's been in the industry for 20+yrs and i'm thinking of selling it to him since I am not good at that stuff and find it a distraction I currently don't want. And I run a drop shipping website that transfers goods around the usa. I also built up some decent funds for a few years selling on ebay before they went full the customer is always right nazi.
It's not much but even without crypto earnings I have enough to work on various projects without having to sweat cash or worry about bringing in enough monthly.

>>15988276
>I am not good at that stuff and find it a distraction I currently don't want
so you're basically doing what I told you to do.
>selling on ebay
so you buy and resell? how much stuff did you have to go through?

>>15982580
>$23
>hostgator
what in the fuck are you doing?

>>15988161
>im building my empire including multiple business and video games
Bro...
