How do you migrate from a free site to a paid one?

Migrating from a free blog to a paid one?


Since I announced the Black Friday deal with Siteground (Which BTW, the 85% off deal is still going on right here!!) I've gotten a few questions about migrating over to Siteground.

How do you do it? Is it easy to do? Does it cost money to migrate over?

So let's break it down!

Migrating is super easy- and you have options

All you have to do is put in your desired domain name, and in the second step it'll ask you if you want to start a new site or transfer one over:

If you're migrating, you obviously want to choose that option.

Next, it's going to ask you which option you want to choose. Doing it yourself or having someone on the team do it for you!

Personally, I've done both options and both were easy!

If you choose to do it yourself, it's all done with a free plugin you install on your site after setup is over.

Or, if you'd rather have them do it, you can choose that too. If you choose the StartUp plan, it costs $30 to do. (Worth it in my opinion to make sure it's done right!)

But, if you're looking at the GrowBig or GoGeek Plan, right now with this Black Friday deal, site transfer is free!

The GrowBig plan is currently what I have so I can more than one site, but if you only plan to have one site, the StartUp plan is good too! (You'll just have to pay for migration or do it yourself)

And that's it!

You'll be all set to either start the migration yourself or wait until they do it for you. I honestly didn't have to wait that long to have it done, so I did other blogging stuff while I waited!

I've been using SiteGround for years now, and have had 3 sites with them.

So if you have any questions about migrating or anything else, reply to this email and I'll be able to help you out as best as I can!

Showing off my EXACT Pinning Strategy! Today, I wanted to highlight a video I just posted and it's all about Pinterest! I've been working on Pinterest for a very long time now, and over the years I've come up with a great strategy to make pinning quicker and easier! So, I did a video with an over-the-shoulder style look at every single part of my strategy. While watching this video back, I realized how complicated Pinterest is as a platform, and I understand why people don't want to manage...

Are you updating old blog posts? One thing I have been working on a lot lately is updating my old blog posts. I decided to niche down, clean up my messy blog, and really hone in on what I wanted to write about. I honestly didn't think it would have as good of an effect on my blog as it did! Over the years, my blog started to get really messy and kind of fall down the list of "important things to do." Since my YouTube channel was doing so well- bringing in all the views, clients, and revenue-...
