Byebye To My First Third

Byebye To My First Third

I'm not too keen on big announcements, but I felt this had to be formalized. I have three websites, and after much thought - frome the inception, actually - I've decided to abandon my first website. I will first get rid of any no-longer-needed affiliate programs, then get rid of all the affiliate links. What to do with the personally written materials??

Should I cancel the various affiliates that only this site uses and then just delete everything?

Nothing I wrote is phenonemenal. Nothing bookworthy or sentimental.

The site isn't bad or detrimental in a business way; it's personal. Still a subject I am fond of, but I'd rather focus on the other two sites.

The domain name expires midway through next year. I'll just be sitting on it. I'm not wanting to go against any rules here. I'm not trying to sell anything. If somebody wants it, I'll give it away; otherwise, it's going to collect dust.

Sometimes we learn things the hard way. I'm new. Just ready to leave one-third of my business behind and focus more on the other two thirds.

Someone is going to come along and lecture me for breaking some rule I don't know about and then I'll delete this.

The simple point is, I'm not quitting. I'm not trying to get pity or make a buck.

The old site going byebye is fear not fear dot com. I just don't want it anymore, and I'm a realist. Time to focus on what I feel is working better.

Advice? I'm thin-skinned, so spare me any public beratings. Just tell me to remove the blog and I will. Thank you.
