This post was published on blogger during the migration process but wasn’t exported her and it’s so important I can’t let it go so I’m posting here too. We have moved. Just a few fixes here and there, me trying to get to know how to work with WordPress and, that’s it at last. So happy and grateful to wpbeginner team. Below is the post copied from the old blog.
I woke up really really happy this morning because our migration from Blogger to WordPress is almost complete.
Handled by the best hands in the system so, there’s no more fear of losing nothing at all. If you are a blogger on the blogger platform, even though that has been great for us, we all do know the benefits of blogging on WordPress but fear won’t let us attempt the migration ourselves…
Fear of something going wrong during the transfer, fear of knowing next to nothing about WordPress; and finally,
FEAR of dropping in Google searches. W
hen I started blogging a few years back, If I knew then what I know now, this transfer would have happened long ago. That is not to say that blogger is not good, NO it’s great if you are not really looking at making good money from blogging.
I honestly want to also make good money blogging. I want to earn good, sweet income from blogging. Well, from research, I think moving to WordPress is taking a step in the right direction.
Getting experts to help migrate a website from Blogger is expensive and not only that, you want to be sure of who is doing what?
Also, considering the exchange rates, it costs heavy thousands when you convert Nigerian Naira to Dollar but you know what?
I didn’t have to pay to move this blog, just a simple condition met and that’s all. Right now The process is almost complete and the next time you see us Update, just know we are Live on WordPress.
The best hands in the job are getting it done for us for FREE. This migration and Setup is something we’re getting FREE of Charge from wpbeginner.
It started late last year and is taking up till now because the blog is already heavy with lots of images and posts (Over 3000). If these were less, we would have been done with by now.
Wanted to wait till switching is complete before the announcement but can’t hold it in any longer, bear with me please. The joy is indescribable.
If you are blogging from a location like say Nigeria, and you get mails/messages from blog readers saying they can no longer access your blog, maybe it’s time you migrate too.
It’s that serious. You are losing readers. losing traffic like me because even when I advise that they try using other browsers, not everyone has the time to start downloading browsers when there are millions of blogs out there on your same Niche.
For every one person that takes their time to contact you and make this complaint, there are many others who didn’t bother but just bounced and left.
There are some Networks over here that I feel users are no longer able to open blogger blogs with, especially users who browse with Chrome.
If you are facing this, it’s time to help your blog and that is why I am convinced that this blog migration help from wpbeginners came in at the right time.
I cannot afford to lose blog traffic in 2019. I started getting worried about the number of people complaining they can’t open my blog.
When I post links on Social Media, I get this complaints and initially didn’t bother much but lately it started to disturb and I went searching for blogging tips online. First I researched on the difference between blogging on blogger platform and WordPress.
After the read, became more convinced that this blog here needs to move as soon as possible. Then, I became worried about losing Google Ranking after migration.
HOW TO MOVE FROM BLOGGER TO WORDPRESS
I went back to The Great Google in search of How to migrate from blogger to WordPress without losing Google Rankings and that is where wpbeginner appealed to me. When I opened their link and landed at that website. It was exactly what my blogger blog needed.
After reading, got even more convinced to move and with the free migration offer gorgeously staring at me, we jumped on the offer and honestly, the swift response from the experts humbled me. They are the Professionals so, nothing to worry about.
This Year promises to be awesome! We look forward to better SEO, better ratings, better quality and more unique content and smarter blogging choices. We also look forward to reaching high quality Traffic (If you know, you know).
We got help to move from Blogger to WordPress FREE and this is the first miracle of 2019 as more will unfold eventually. Amen! We mean business this year and watch out for new and exciting things to come shortly.
