The 9 undeniable reasons you should upgrade your WordPress.com account today Ank Percuma Percuma, if you're anything like me, you might be asking yourself, "why should I upgrade to a paid plan when WordPress.com offers so much for free?" Great question! To answer, here are 9 provable facts – not empty marketing hype – to tell you why you should upgrade today: Reason #1:
Upgrading is the only way to use a custom domain name with your WordPress.com site. This is by far the most common reason people upgrade to a paid account. It's no mystery why. Think of all the sites you love to visit. I bet they all have a memorable or unique domain name, right? Your domain name is the first thing visitors see about your brand. And right now, your website address is anakpercumapercuma.wordpress.com. That's perfectly fine if you're building this site for fun. But if you're building something more than a hobby site, upgrading to get your custom domain name is a no-brainer, especially since plans start at just $4.00 per month. Click here to see a full description of our plans. Reason #2:
World-class SEO experts love WordPress. Search engines can send you massive amounts of highly qualified and free traffic if they like your site. That's where WordPress's search engine optimization (SEO) tools come in, because they automatically "bake in" the most important SEO best practices. You don't have to take my word for it. Here are a few of the many accolades WordPress has received from industry experts: WordPress is the absolute best platform to use as the foundation of your SEO success story.
—Search Engine Journal, the largest trade publication for the SEO industry.
A source at Google told me that WordPress offers "the best out-of-the-box SEO imaginable," which is probably why it runs nearly 30% of the Internet.
—Tim Ferriss , famous author, investor, blogger, and podcast host.
WordPress automatically solves a ton of SEO issues…. By using WordPress you've already taken the first big step. WordPress is a fantastic piece of software.
—Matt Cutts, Google's most well-known in-house SEO expert.
Upgrading your account gets you access to things like a custom domain name and advanced SEO tools, which search engines love. And because WordPress.com is the easiest way to use WordPress, you can spend your time building your site, rather than worrying about SEO. Reason #3:
Upgrading costs only $4.00 per month. At just $4.00 per month, WordPress.com is an incredible value. Consider it this way: for less than the cost of a single Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks, you'll gain access to the same software, engineering team, and technical infrastructure that's used by some of the most popular sites on the internet (more about that in Reason #8). Reason #4:
We'll give you a free domain if you don't have one yet. And in case $4.00 per month isn't already a good enough deal to make upgrading an easy choice, I'm going to sweeten the deal by offering you a free domain of your choice when you upgrade to a paid account. Reason #5:
We offer a 30-day money-back-guarantee. We proudly stand behind the quality of WordPress.com. All of our plans include a full 30-day money-back-guarantee.

In other words, upgrading is 100% risk free. Please note that if you accept our offer for a free domain when you upgrade, we simply ask you that you cover the costs for registering the domain. The domain is yours to keep! Reason #6:

Your upgraded account gives you access to hundreds of professionally-designed and easy-to-use themes for any kind of business, portfolio, or blog. What's more, if you select either the Premium or Business plan when you upgrade, you'll even gain free and unlimited access to ALL of our Premium templates, which typically sell for between $50 - $100 each. Reason #7:
You'll get round-the-clock live chat and email support. Your upgraded account also gives you direct access to our customer service team. We call them Happiness Engineers, because their mission is to make sure you are a satisfied customer who stays with us for many years.
