Hi I'm Ryan Robinson

I'm a blogger, but I'm not my blog. I am not my business either. Occasional podcaster and very-much-recovering side project addict. Co-Founder at RightBlogger. Join me here, on ryrob.com to learn how to start a blog and build a purpose-connected business. Be sure to take my free blogging tools for a spin... especially my wildly popular free keyword research tool & AI article writer. They rule. Somehow, I also find time to write for publications like Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Next Web, Business Insider, and more. Let’s chat on Twitter (X?) and YouTube about our feelings (and business, of course).

    • Sure, getting started with a free blogging site is totally fine to test things out, build your writing skills and get a feel for what blogging is all about. You’ll eventually want to move your blog over to a platform (like self-hosted WordPress as my instructions in this guide explain), but that can be done once you’re ready to start really trying to turn your blog into a business.

  10. Hi Ryan,
    I noticed how fast your pages load. Please can you share the plugins or platform you use to optimize your speed?

    • Of course! I use two plugins for performance optimization on my blog: My personal favorite is perfmatters (https://perfmatters.io/?ref=298) and I also use WP Rocket for some optimizations too. The two plugins have some overlap in terms of features they offer, but also complement each other nicely when it comes to optimizing everything you can for quick load times.
