WordPress claims that its software is used to create more than 1/3rd of all the websites on the World Wide Web. Speak to any beginner or veteran blogger, and you will find that WP software is easy to use, versatile and reliable, there are thousands of free templates that look professional, and you can host your blog for just a few dollars each month.
When you begin to think of the staggering number of websites and blogs on the Internet, the fact that WP is so prevalent really says something about that blogging platform.
Did you know that 2017 saw more than 86% of business-to-business (B2B) companies blogging? Add video to your blog, and you increase organic, free search engine traffic by 157%. The Social Media Examiner website reveals that 2 out of every 3 online marketers have a blog.
Additionally, 65% of internet marketers say they are going to increase the amount of time they blog, and websites that have a blog attached have more than 4 times as many pages indexed in Google and other search engines.
One study shows that at least 60% of all blogging content is considered low quality, or irrelevant altogether. This means that all you have to do is consistently produce high-quality content and you leapfrog ahead of most of your competition.
All these studies reveal that millions of people blog regularly, and all that accumulated time and effort and would not be spent unless these blogs were paying off for their owners.
