🚀 WordPress Revealed AI Site Builder

WordPress.com has just introduced an AI-powered site builder in early access. With a simple chat, you can generate an entire website—including layout, text, images, and design—just by describing what you want.

🛠️ Just tell the chatbot:

• What type of site you need (personal, business, etc.)

• Your preferred colors, header style, and content

• Any specific features or sections you’d like

From there, the AI builds out a clean, functional site you can tweak further by chatting with it again.

💡 One user even made a retro video game store site with events and quirky AI-generated images—like a “Sega Saturday Showdown.”

Things to know:

• Works only for new sites (not existing ones)

• Publishing requires a WordPress.com hosting plan (starting at $18/month)

• You can try it for free—no credit card needed

📈 6 Steps to Boost Your Email Click-Through Rate

The first email campaign hit the mark. The second one tanked—thanks to poor personalization and a weak call to action.

Don’t make the same mistake. Use these time-tested strategies to increase clicks and drive results:

• ✍️ Craft Magnetic Subject Lines: A strong subject line gets the open and sets the tone. Make it personal, curiosity-driven, and benefit-focused.

• 🙋 Personalize Beyond the Name: Use behavior data, past interactions, or preferences to tailor content that feels made just for the reader.

• 📦 Segment Like a Pro: One-size-fits-all emails are dead. Segment your list based on interests, demographics, or engagement levels to send hyper-relevant messages.

• 🔘 Design Bold CTA Buttons: Make it easy to click. Use large, high-contrast buttons with clear, action-driven text like “Get My Discount” or “Download Free Guide.”

• 📸 Use Purposeful Visuals: Break up text with clean, relevant images that enhance the message—not distract from it. Always check mobile formatting.

• 🧪 Run A/B Tests Often: Test everything from button copy to subject lines. Even small changes can lead to big lifts in CTR.

Pro Tip: Add urgency with limited-time offers or countdown timers. It’s one of the fastest ways to prompt action. ⏳

Small tweaks = more clicks, more conversions. 🌟
