Usage
How do I use my WordPress writer portfolio site? For me, it has many uses:
- Home Base – I use it to offer all of my services that go well beyond articles. I list the philanthropies I’m involved in and care about. I also offer services from other online companies I own. All of these things are associated with me. Having a home base and other websites to link out to is the perfect way to organize things.
- Business Sites – I connect my business sites to my home base site to keep everything separate and organized. Shared hosting plans make this cheap and easy!
- Landing Pages – I use Elementor to create essential landing pages for me and my clients. They go from my articles to a great landing page with an irresistible offer. Elementor has beautiful pre-made, one-click templates ready to go. Best of all, it’s free!
