Here are 7 proven reasons for bloggers to run a WordPress blog in 2021:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Save Time and Money with WordPress Blogging\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you&#8217;re an aspiring or experienced blogger, it&#8217;s more likely you&#8217;re looking for a blogging platform that can save you time and money. With WordPress, you just hit the jackpot. Although WordPress is a powerful tool, it has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Bloggers like this platform for a variety of reasons. WordPress allows you to create content instantly and publish it without having coding experience. What does this mean for you? Saving time and money, and allowing yourself to get creative with writing, without having to bother about the technical stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And do not forget that WordPress is a <\/span><b>free platform<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You should agree that this is a big bonus. Some themes though have some paid plans. It all depends on your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Web design in WordPress has evolved over the years. Right now, it is block-based, meaning that you can add blocks with different functionalities to your design: paragraphs, images, videos, and more. You just have to create a new page and start adding your desired type of content\/block. It\u2019s that fast and easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also mentioned page builders that allow you to build sites by drag and drop, this means that you can build a site in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Show Off Your Personality<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, WordPress has a wide range of themes, some of them are multipurpose, some of them are suitable for various niches. This means that you can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">choose a WordPress theme<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that suits your blog topic, needs, and preferences. All in all, it gives you an opportunity to show off your personality and therefore attract like-minded people to your blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you want to create a blog with a <\/span><b>customized design<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can use<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colibri<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Here are some reasons to rely on it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A variety of templates not only for the whole website but also for each block<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different design elements<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A possibility to add videos, slideshows, and collages to your blog<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatic adaptation of your website for any device<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A free version<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colibri also has templates for different topics: business, services, sport and travel, food and drink.

WordPress has many plugins for those wanting to monetize their blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Understand Your Readers Better\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To successfully promote your blog, you should regularly publish new content. But this is not enough; you should also do your best to<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/profitise.com\/the-smart-way-to-generate-leads\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generate leads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding your readers is the first step. WordPress has all the tools for this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know which ones?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you need to collect the leads. This is not a WordPress built-in feature. But, as you probably guessed, plugins can help you fix this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the most popular form plugins out there:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpforms.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WP Forms<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gravityforms.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gravity Forms<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/forminator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forminator<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/contact-form-7\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Form 7<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you need to manage those leads and create email nurturing campaigns. Now, most of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getmailbird.com\/business-email-providers\/\">email providers<\/a> out there have their own WordPress plugin: Sendinblue, Hubspot, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, the moment your leads come pouring in, we definitely recommend the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/googleanalytics\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plugin. With the help of Google Analytics, you can analyze your website visitors\u2019 behavior. The plugin allows you to check key information right in your WordPress dashboard (if you have installed Site Kit by Google). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/crazyegg-heatmap-tracking\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy Egg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plugin also comes in handy as it tracks visitor clicks and mouse movements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Improve Your SEO skills\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search engine optimization is another must-have step in promoting the blog. The more people find your blog when searching for it on the web, the better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if your SEO skills are poor? WordPress has a solution for this case too \u2013 the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoast SEO<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plugin. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With it, you can <\/span><b>optimize any page<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the right keyword request. This plugin gives hints for titles and text optimization when you create a post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can enter a keyword and the system does all the work. Yoast helps you analyze if a keyword appears often enough in the text. The system checks not only the title and text but also the URL and image description. And if something is wrong, it notifies you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7417\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Yoast-SEO.png\" alt=\"Yoast SEO\" width=\"900\" height=\"1032\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.
