The way you explain the pros and cons of WordPress versus other platforms really hits home. I especially liked how you showed that different creators have different needs. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights! 💜
I'm not a food blogger, nor did I ever consider myself a blogger/content creator but I switched from squarespace to Wordpress a couple years ago when I leaned into more blogs on my site. SS just didn't even come close to the SEO functionality of wordpress. Do you know anyone who has monetized their site on squarespace?
Deep sigh. No. But also why is that the case? (Internal scream) I'm on SS now and I just don't want it to be true haha. But I may switch myself to WP. I’m just on SS because the setup was easy but that’s about it. I'm trying to give SS a chance to turn it around. But I'm skeptical. 😅
I was on Wordpress for about 10 years before switching to Squarespace for the ease of design. What's significant for my traffic is writing for publications + backlinks. I also regularly publish here on Substack and find that I 4x'd my website traffic since.

I was so hopeful on SS as well!

The ease of design bright me to squarespace too. It's interesting your strategy for driving traffic. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you, it’s all about finding what works. For me, I would rather write and pitch then fiddle with Wordpress 😆
Me too … me too 😅
