Traditional Blogging is Dead 💀
R.I.P WordPress. 🪦
80% of blogs fail within 18 months.
With a failure rate so high, why on earth would you start one?
Think about it…
You buy a domain name, pay for expensive website hosting, and spend weeks (maybe months) making your blog visually appealing for future visitors.
Except… they don’t come.
Crickets.
Sure, a few stragglers find you every once in a while. But most of your comments look like the spam folder of an old email account you created with Yahoo back in the 90’s.
You install plug-in after plug-in…
Spend hours learning about the best SEO practices…
And if you’re lucky, things pick up a little.
You’re getting 100 visitors a day now.
Oh, and look at that!
You actually made a sale through an affiliate link you pasted into an article.
Could this be it?
Are things about to take off?
And then – a Google update – named after some obscure f@cking animal like a Platypus.
All your hard work goes down the drain.
Finally, you throw in the towel and curse the hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars you flushed down the WordPress toilet.
If you even make it that far…
Why you should forget about building a blog on WordPress.
WordPress is the flip phone of blogging platforms. While the digital landscape of how people consume content is rapidly changing, WordPress is not.
WordPress flexes its muscles more in complexity than user-friendliness.
It’s an unnecessary hurdle for creators who just want to … well… create.
Navigating through the numerous plugins, updates, and settings can feel like deciphering a secret code.
Platforms like Medium ditch the unnecessary tech fuss and make things easy. You sit down. You write. You hit publish.
