   • If you’re serious about your business, be serious about your hosting.
   • We have many great episodes on hosting platforms. You can find these episodes by using the search feature on our website.
   • Our favorite hosting platforms are WP Engine and A2 Hosting.

   • Choose a topic that you are passionate about, so you will continue to want to write about it over time.
5. Hit publish 04:33
