THE GOOD WORD is poised for an explosion of goodness. 1 year in the making, THE GOOD WORD was registered in April of 2012, it was an after thought to GreenFest. ”We simply needed a playbill for the concert and it evolved from there”, said publisher Steve Schappert. Traffic started very slowly as the site took shape for the concert usually 5 views a day up until July when we printed the playbill. We received 360 views at our peak on July 24th.
“Plagued with setbacks, the site out grew WordPress.com in September as we started using 3rd party advertisers, which began the slow, painful migration to Bluehost.com traffic started to increase, problems would arise and knock us back down, but we kept moving forward” said Schappert.
Persistence: Schappert has 16 years of web development experience and he just kept kicking it until it worked. This past week all server issues have been addressed and the site sits on it’s own server, previously it had been sharing a server with 32 other of Schappert’s sites. ”We are ready for take off! After a year of playing with a basic idea THE GOOD WORD is now ready to take the global stage as a major force in the battle between good and evil“, said Schappert. You become what you think of and THE GOOD WORD will promote the good things people do to be successful while helping other people and the planet.
