Five Really Cool Reasons Why A Self Hosted WordPress Blog Beats Blowing Up On Social Media!

So (entrepreneur) do you currently have a state of the art WordPress blog and or website?

If not, are you planning on getting one anytime soon?

Hopefully, you’re not thinking of going the free website builder route with one of those server hosted sites by (either) weebly.com and or blinkweb.com are you?

Don’t get me wrong, because just recently I did a blog post where I mentioned those two free resources as potential start up (only) options, if your money was extremely tight!

So I’m not now suggesting that you shouldn’t be utilizing them as extremely viable resources.

Besides (as of this writing), both of those free web building resources, offer you the option to purchase your own domain name, so that your site-domain- name doesn’t have to end with their extension on it. For ex. www.yourfavoritemathtutor.blinkweb.com

Instead, if the domain name your favorite math tutor dot whatever, was still available, you could purchase it, and still use their server as your host for free! It’s just, that’s not the route the real ultimate insiders take!

So neither should you. Those type of free server based sites are cool for getting your feet wet and or strictly for a hobby site of some kind!

But for professional branding purposes, you really don’t want to go there! With that said, hopefully you’re currently active on at least some of the major social media platforms, like twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and or Pintrest or Instagram etc.

And if you are hopefully you’ve got a gazillion twitter followers! But whether you do or not, here are five incredibly profitable reasons why (in this marketers opinion), having your very own self hosted WordPress blog beats blogging it up on social media!…..

 So Who Else Wants To Discover Five Really Cool Reasons Why A Self Hosted WordPress Blog Beats The Heck Out Of Blowing Up On Social Media?

First of, (FYI), just in case there are any newbie marketers reading this post, and the term “self hosted” isn’t quite clear to you.

It just means that you (or somebody) pays to have your site hosted (stored online somewhere in cyberspace), instead of the website provider such as blogger.com or livejournal.com and or WordPress.com hosting it for you.

What’s that? You didn’t realize there were two distinctly different versions of the free WordPress platform.

Well yes there are, in fact you can read about in an earlier post I did about WordPress.

Now then, let’s say that you like, DiDi (DD) Alcheva through tons of consistent hard work, have managed to build up a twitter following of 100,000 plus fanatical followers! Bravo!

Successful Entrepreneurs Know It’s Best To Maintain As Much Control As You Possibly Can!

But here’s the deal. Twitter, FB and any other social media platform just might decide to either change the rules or worse, and tomorrow you wake up and poof, you’re no longer 100,000 twitter followers strong! Say what?

Hey, it’s happened to some of the biggest names out there! So let’s take a look at five incredibly profitable reasons “why” having your very own self hosted, state of the art WordPress blog, beats the pants off blowing up on social media!

1.) Potentially profitable reason # one: First and foremost (ladies & gentlemen), as long as you or somebody pays your hosting bill, then guess what?

You don’t have to worry about waking up one day to possibly discover that your 100 (or in the case of rockstar marketer DiDi Alcheva) your 100,000 plus twitter followers account has been mysteriously shutdown for whatever reasons! Total bummer I’m sure!

Now that’s not to suggest you won’t have your occasional ongoing maintenance glitch from time to time with WordPress and or any other self hosted blogging platform! Because you most certainly will! But still you’re in far more control, than you are with any particular social media platform.Period!

2.) Potentially profitable reason # two: Next, (entrepreneur) with just a little basic comprehension of some proven on page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques.

You can definitely learn “how to” start consistently ranking higher and higher in the major search engines, like Google. For free! (Meaning: you invested your time learning how and you didn’t spend tons of money.)

Which means, you’ll start receiving your share of free (organic), targeted search traffic! Which also means that’s yet another chance to be linked to by another highly influential marketer! And receive even more free (organic) traffic!

4.) Potentially profitable reason # four: With your very own self hosted blog, you can let other marketers guest host on your site and share their extremely valuable content with your audience and vice versa!

And literally gets tons of massive free exposure to your specific target audience!
