Hire Me: WordPress Blog Setup Service

Hire Me: WordPress Blog Setup Service

Hey friend! Let’s chat about how I can help you with your very own blog makeover!

Are you ready for a change?

I can help! I’ve been working in the blogging industry for 6+ years and know what it’s like to hate the way your blog looks. It shouldn’t be that way! You should LOVE opening up your blog, writing your posts and interacting with your readers.

I specialize in blog “makeovers” or revamping existing blogs by styling high-quality StudioPress themes to make your blog look more visually appealing AND function better. So you can truly LOVE blogging.

Of course, I can also help you start a blog from scratch, set up your e-mail list, help with blog consulting and so much more!

Are you ready?

Popular Blog Makeover Options:

I have many options so you can customize your blog makeover experience and am always open to new ideas for how we can improve your blog! 

You can scroll to the bottom for the complete list (in the drop-down and checkboxes).

PS Never hesitate to shoot me a message if you have any questions.

Start a Blog + Do All The Things*

This option is for the blogger who is not yet a blogger! I take you step by step creating your new blog by setting up hosting to installing a theme, branding, the works.

  • Setting up hosting through BlueHost**
  • Setting up a blog on WordPress
  • Obtaining your very own domain***
  • Installing StudioPress Theme ($100-130 value for the theme alone)
  • Styling theme with fonts, colors, widget placement ($200 value for install + style)
  • Creating custom branding with fonts, colors, design
  • Creating custom blog header ($175 value for header + branding)
  • Setting you up on social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest
  • Sending you the stylesheet
  • Installing necessary plugins for a functioning blog
  • Installing my favorite WordPress plugins AND sending you the details and explanation of each one
  • ALL THE THINGS: all of the 10 add-ons you see listed below are included in this package! ($600 value)

*This cost covers 15 hours of work. After that, we move to the $50 per hour add-on cost. I will let you know if we are going over on time for each particular area so you won’t be surprised. I promise I want this to be fair for both of us!

**Bluehost has a monthly cost typically below $5 per month depending on current sales.

***This comes with a yearly cost depending on your .com name. Typically around $15 per year through Bluehost.

The Foodie Package (this bundle saves you $75)

  • Installing Foodie Pro Theme
  • Styling Theme with fonts, colors, widget placement, styling homepage
  • Creating custom branding with fonts, colors
  • Sending you the style sheet for your future reference
  • Creating a custom header (includes 3 edits or 12 total options)
  • Styling Recipe Box page–a lifesaver for food bloggers (check out the example on my own food blog)

Classic Blog Makeover: New Theme + Styling, Branding + Header (this bundle saves you $25)

  • Installing new Studio Press Theme (I work exclusively with Studio Press Themes at this time because of the high quality + functionality. ~$100 per theme.)
  • Styling Theme with fonts, colors, widget placement
  • Creating custom branding with fonts, colors
  • Creating a custom header (includes 3 edits or 12 total options)
  • Sending you the style sheet for your future reference.

Add-On Blog Makeover Options:

You can add on any of these items once you have selected the main item OR you may pick from these items with the $25 a la carte fee.

Mail Chimp Set Up + Style

Do you have an e-mail list? You should! An e-mail list is a great way to connect with your readers in a more personal way, send out important messages or offers, or just to let readers know you have a new post for them to check out.

  • Set up Mail Chimp account (free account or paid account* starting at $10 per month that includes an autoresponder)
  • Style RSS e-mail for subscribers
  • Set up opt-in on your website

*An autoresponder is a group of e-mails you set up to automatically be delivered to your new subscribers. You can use these e-mails to introduce yourself, tell readers why your blog is so special, introduce them to the site, send exclusive tips/sales and overall turn the subscriber into a true fan. I obviously recommend this, but you can always start out with the free site and move onto the paid version when you are ready.

Share buttons + e-mail opt-in with sumo.me

Sumo.me is a powerful plugin that includes share buttons + e-mail opt-ins.

  • Set up sumo.me
  • Style share buttons
  • Style e-mail opt-in (requires that you have an e-mail subscriber list)

Custom Social Media Buttons

This option includes EITHER:

-Installing + setting up a premium social media plugin (not a free one) that shows follower counts

OR

-Creating custom social media buttons

30-minute blog consultation + advice.

You know how sometimes you just wish someone would tell you what is wrong with your blog? I can do that! (in a nice and constructive way, of course.)

-I will answer 3 blog advice questions (approximately) as candidly and thoroughly as possible in order to help you improve your blog.*

OR

-I can send you a detailed report of what I think you can do in order to improve and grow your blog.*

*This is based on my 6 years in the blogging industry. There is no guarantee your blog will grow, but I have learned a few basics I would love to pass along to fellow bloggers.
