One last thing for your site

The seven undeniable reasons you should upgrade today

If you're anything like us, 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 7 facts—not empty marketing hype—to tell you why you should upgrade today:

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 WordPress.com Pro. 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. And right now, your website address is 3photos6.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 WordPress.com Pro includes a host of premium features plus your first year of domain registration—on us! Click here to see a full description of what's included.

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 our 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

"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 site 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—not worrying about SEO.

3. An upgrade to WordPress.com Pro is packed with premium features at an affordable price.

At just S$21.00 a month (billed annually), WordPress.com Pro is an incredible value. Consider it this way: for less than the cost of a Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks each week, 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.

4. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee.

We proudly stand behind the quality of WordPress.com. All of our annual plans include a full 14-day money-back guarantee.

So you can join today, make as many customizations, posts, and edits as you'd like over the next 14 days and still get your money back if you aren't happy for any reason.

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 that you cover the costs for registering the domain if you decide to cancel your plan with us. The domain is yours to keep!

5. You'll get round-the-clock expert support.

WordPress.com Pro 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. Our Happiness Engineers provide you with round-the-clock support via live chat and email.

Live chat support is currently only available in English and is exclusive to WordPress.com Pro subscribers.

6. Unlimited Premium Themes & Advanced Design Customization.

With WordPress.com Pro, you gain unlimited access to all of our advanced, professional & beautiful premium design templates, including templates specifically tailored for businesses.

And when you upgrade, you have the ability to choose from extended color schemes, background designs, and have complete control over website CSS. One size does not fit all!

7. Because the best time to start is right now.

Our data shows that our most successful customers got started right away. In fact, the odds are good that if you don't take the leap now, you never will.

First you tell yourself you'll decide tomorrow. Then tomorrow becomes next week. Then before you know it, the dreams of your new site are long forgotten.

Don't let that happen to you! Take a bold step forward by upgrading your account right now, then commit to making serious progress on your site tonight before you go to bed.

Now with all that said, we have just one question for you...
