Glad you enjoyed the post!
Very true it’s easier to give the site a professional look, get 100% control and to have the site do what you want it to do.
If you are serious about your site, self hosted is the way to go…

I started on free blogspot to let my message out! After that I created another blogspot to share my love for fashion and after some years of writing and one book edited I ended up conciliating both in a self-hosted wordpress site. Like you said, I wanted to give it a more professional look, plus it’s easier to get things done your own way..
Wish you the best! (:

Great reasons to have your own site. I took a peek at your site and think you should monetize with amazon.
You help your reader, showing them where to get the book. If they purchase you make a commission… win win situation.

Let me know if you have any questions,

Vicky

I started my blog to share my love of books with others. I started using a self-hosted wordpress site for the reasons, you mentioned: I want it to look professional and I would eventually like to make money.
