October Newsletter
By Cheval John
Can you believe it is October already?
This is a time for a fresh start to finishing this year strong.
It is also a special time because today is the fifth anniversary of when I moved my company blog Vallano Media, LLC to a self-hosted site using WordPress.org.
It was still the best decision to move from wordpress.com to a self-hosted site because of the opportunities to grow this blog while simultaneously build the business.
Though I lost viewership when the site was moved, it has grown slowly over the years and is poised for a breakout.
To keep up with tradition, here are articles for this month’s newsletter
