Why move your newsletter to WordPress.com
Moving your newsletter to WordPress.com gives you more control over your content, your audience, and how your site grows. Here is what you get:
- Own your audience and content. Your posts, subscriber list, and data belong to you, and you can export them at any time.
- Keep more of your revenue. Start for free, add paid subscriptions when you’re ready, and lower your transaction fees by upgrading your plan.
- Customize your brand. Choose from thousands of themes and adjust colors, fonts, and layouts on your newsletter landing page.
- Grow beyond a newsletter. Expand into a full website with a store, online courses, memberships, or a podcast on the same site.
- Reach new readers. Built-in SEO and the WordPress.com Reader help people discover your work.
- Send with confidence. WordPress.com delivers millions of newsletter emails every day.
