Day 6: Pick Your Platform Wisely
Quick story.
I created a tiny niche site on Squarespace like 3 years ago, before I knew anything about anything really. I will say that it did very well for me as I started to write and grow.
But something happened. I couldn’t do any of the things I was learning to do. Like adding certain plugins to capture more leads, having them designed properly, SEO optimizations, URL optimizations, speed and the list goes on.
When I switched to Wordpress I was lost. So. Incredibly. Lost.
But I got comfortable over time to switch platforms, and it was the best decision I ever made. I made everything better, I started making money from my blog even though the traffic went down slightly from the changes.
This was an insane process. Switching from Squarespace to Wordpress is no simple task. And there is even less documentation supporting how to do it properly. Trust me, I messed it up. Just do your research for the goals of your site. Be very intentional in choosing where you build your website.
Where Am I Going To Build This Site?
My pick for this website is going to be Bluehost for hosting + Wordpress platform for website building + Astra Theme for more customization + Elementor Pro as the drag and drop builder for design.
