When Bloggers Think About Bringing Their Blogs To An End

If I was given a dollar each time someone wanted to give up on blogging, I would be an extremely rich man.

This year alone, I have read blog posts from bloggers who were uncertain of their blog’s future and thought that it would be prudent of them to not renew their WordPress plan.

Now, putting an end to one’s blog is a drastic move and ending a blog prematurely might not be the best course of action.

Some People Are On A Very Tight Budget

The economy has taken a turn for the worse worldwide. People are deeply concerned about:

• Not having enough money to buy food to eat.
• Not having enough money to put gas into their vehicles.
• Not having enough money to pay their rent.
• Not having enough money to pay their electricity bill.
• Not having enough money to pay their water bill.

It is as though they are living day to day and they are unsure of what the future brings.

Therefore, the renewal of a paid WordPress plan can be a burden for some people.

However, one’s inability to renew their piad WordPress plan does not justify the abandonment of their blog (More on that later).

Ask A Happiness Engineer For A Discount

Now, it would not hurt to ask a Happiness Engineer for a discount when the time comes around for the renewal of your plan. If you complain about the price of your plan being too high, there is a chance of him or her giving you a discount code.

Apparently, no one really goes out of their way to ask for a discount.

Or, asking for one never crossed their mind.

Downgrade Your Plan

Currently, there are lots of personal bloggers who are on the Business plan (Some of them can afford it and others cannot).

If you are experiencing financial difficulty, you can lessen your burden by downgrading your plan; for example, if you are on the Business plan, you can downgrade your package to the Premium plan.

You should not have to undergo sleepless nights wondering how you are going to manage paying the fees for the Business plan.

Realistically, you are supposed to know which paid WordPress plan is most appropriate for you.

Let Your Domain Revert To A WordPress Subdomain

If you do not renew your paid WordPress.com plan, it would revert to a WordPress.com subdomain; which is the free plan.

People who choose this route are usually the ones who:

• Are in a bad financial situation.
• Refuse to renew their WordPress plan because they view it as being exorbitant.
• Refuse to renew their WordPress plan because they believed that they were being censored by WordPress.
• Believe that uprading their WordPress plan was a horrible mistake.

Truthfully, there is no shame in allowing your WordPress plan to revert to a WordPress subdomain; you can always upgrade your WordPress plan in the future.

Final Thoughts

The God’s/Goddess’s truth is that most personal bloggers tend to jump blindly into blogging; they are unsure of which paid WordPress plan is truly right for them (They grab one and pay for it without ever thinking about what is going to transpire later on).

If the personal blogger realizes that they have made a bad decision pertaining to their paid WordPress plan, they can:

• Request a discount from a Happiness Engineer whenever the time comes for them to renew their paid WordPress plan.
• Downgrade their paid WordPress plan.
• Allow their subdomain to revert to a subdomain.

Therefore, there is really no need for a blogger to put an end to their blog due to their inability to maintain a paid WordPress plan.

However, if a blogger has chosen to end their blogging journey because they no longer desire to publish blog posts on their blog, it is okay for them to close the proverbial doors on their blog.
