Nick Burgess

Blog owner

I am a small business blogger who built my site, Making a Millennial Millionaire, entirely on Wix.

My entire business is my website! My blog is my business, and Wix has enabled me to now essentially generate passive income online. 

Q&A

How long have you been using Wix?

I decided to build the website myself because I wanted to see how easily it really could be, and I wanted full control over the templates, formatting and SEO on the site. The main goal of the site was to teach myself SEO, and I think this went a long way towards doing that.

I picked Wix after some heavy research. I used Wix competitors in the past and just didn’t like the interfaces and templates, so I chose Wix.

What do you like most about Wix?

It was very easy to build my website! It took me about 2 days to get the site to where I wanted it, and Wix has some purpose-built formats for blogs, so that was incredibly easy to implement.

I like that Wix automatically submitted my sitemap to Google Search Console and took the account buildout out of my hands. As a novice in that arena when I started out, this allowed me to avoid the most common beginner mistakes.

Is there anything you’d change about Wix?

If I’d improve Wix, it would be in the back-end tools. The dashboard of the site just isn’t very helpful, and it’s better to go to Google Analytics or Google Search Console for insights, rather than the Wix integrations with the two programs which lags.

Would you recommend Wix?

I would definitely recommend Wix to others. It’s easy, has great templates and is affordable for the more premium versions.
