Why You Should Start Blogging on Shopify Store Now

If you’re running a Shopify store, you may be asking whether blogging on Shopify can help your business. If yes, in what way and should you use the platform to host your blogs, or is it better to use a WordPress subdomain? But before we take a deep dive into this exciting topic, let’s set the record straight. If your business revolves mainly around blogging, the better choice is to use WordPress. However, experts suggest that if you’re already on Shopify, it’s better to use the platform to run your blogs.

Why? Simply because it can boost your store traffic by 40%.

If you’re not confident enough to take that giant leap of faith and solely use Shopify for blogging, you can at least try writing your first 20 blog posts within Shopify. And if after that you don’t see a significant increase in your store traffic, then move on to WordPress.

10 Reasons Why You Need A SEO App

If you’re a Shopify store owner, you need to optimize your shop to gain a massive following that will eventually increase your conversion rate and add to your sales.

Since the launch of eCommerce, people have grown a non-stop, insatiable hunger for dropshipping. However, after realizing that success in this field, just like in any other field, requires a steep learning curve, most of them give up. Luckily, those who stuck around and carried on despite the struggle were greatly rewarded. They just unlocked a new endeavor that blew up and became more and more profitable.

But the story doesn’t end there. Since almost everyone sees the platform as profitable, the competition grew more vigorous. Therefore, if you want to stand out, you need to be on top of the search list, and that your listings should show up when people search for products like those you sell.

No matter how uncomplicated these things sound, they are easier said than done. The truth is, your market is ever dynamic, and they bank more on the experience they get when using the product than the thing itself. To get their attention, you must challenge their minds, touch their hearts, and tickle their funny bone. And how do you do these? By intensifying your SEO efforts.

Eventually I just used the simplest way to create the landing page.
