Moving Webworm to Ghost has been the best decision I made all year. Not only for me, but for my readers. I had a 75-year old guy write in telling me how smooth it all was, which said it all.

The biggest upgrade switching from WordPress to Ghost was the editing experience. WP's Gutenberg editor used to cry when my posts became longer than 2,000–3,000 words, which was a frequent scenario.

Without Ghost, I'd still be stuck sharing my blog articles to Facebook. But with Ghost, I no longer feel confined to the social media machine. It's given me the ability to grow without much effort. Even with long hiatuses and a busy life, my subscriber count for my newsletter has grown almost 500% in three years.

Ghost has taken the hassle out of running a business and a website, and given me the freedom to devote my time to other ventures.

I love Ghost. A clean, straightforward backend. Open source, but actually user-friendly with managed hosting at a good price. Plenty of options for integrations, but none I really *need* because it just works out of the box. And it meaningfully lets me control my own blog--I could move to self-hosting without missing a beat, if I wanted to, but Ghost Pro is worth it.

The fact that Ghost is also open-source, independent, and funded 100% by its users makes it the perfect tool for me.

Switching to Ghost has changed my whole relationship with publishing. By enabling me to make meaningful connections with readers, it's put the joy back in writing. Powerful but intuitive, Ghost is ideal for someone like me who just wants to focus on the words and leave the platform to take care of the rest.

For years, I ran a popular aggregator site on WordPress that grew to 1.3M page views and 60k monthly visitors. Eventually, the constant plugin updates, security worries and bloat burned me out and I walked away from publishing altogether. Ghost has restored my love for publishing.

I worked for decades on Wordpress powered sites. Either vanilla Wordpress or headless Wordpress. It was always a patchwork of plugins, SaaS that, more often than not, would break. Since launching MooseMoney.com on Ghost, I can focus on growing our audience and monetizing and the website is faster than any Wordpress I ever operated!

Ghost is the answer to so many issues. Privacy, ownership and independence blend well with reach and dialogue. The interface is straightforward and customizable. Publishing is easy. And I'm free from the oligarchs. Ghost continues to make strides to promote the Fediverse. I look forward to greater interoperability.

Ghost gave me the freedom to build C-Store Thrive into a go-to resource for convenience store professionals without the noise and clutter of other platforms. In a niche where practical, real-world training is hard to find, Ghost makes it easy to share SOPs, compliance guides, and leadership insights with store-level employees, district managers, and owners — all in one clean, member-focused hub.

Ghost lets me monetize without handing over a huge cut to the same tech billionaires who’ve already tricked the internet into funding their yachts. Instead, I get to keep my revenue, and write snarky articles about them while they sail off.

On Substack, I was writing on a VC-backed platform where algorithms and social metrics ruled. Switching to Ghost—a carbon-neutral, nonprofit, and decentralized space—just made sense. It aligns with my values, my work, and finally gives me a support team that treats me like a human. Fewer glitches. More respect. A better, more ethical platform

For someone with little to no knowledge on website designs, the experience with Ghost was very kind. With the minimal building blocks that Ghost provided from the start, it allowed me to get my feet wet, instead of being overwhelmed by a barrage of options and settings.

For the uninitiated, looking for your web platform of choice to launch your business, is a very daunting experience. Ghost kept things simple, neat, and organised, which enabled me to pick up the management of my website at a slower pace, whilst still having a presentable webpage for my business.

I tried ghost many years ago, self-hosted, and we didn't get along. But I tried it out again this year and it's improved so so much. Very easy to use, good documentation, it makes publishing my blog easy. I moved back to Ghost from Substack and haven't looked back.

I've tried a few platforms but Ghost is the only one where it's actually a pleasure to write in the app. The ease with which you can add links, html etc is great, as is the way they help you organise SEO. You can also talk to a real person, which is increasingly rare, if you have problems. My site has an incredible score on Google page insights because of the way it is coded.

Ghost is the first platform I’ve used that feels like it was built for writers rather than for technicians. The editor is clean and distraction-free. Publishing long-form content, uploading images, arranging galleries, and organizing articles through tags feels effortless and fast. I’m able to focus on my message instead of on the settings behind the scenes. The aesthetics are minimalist and modern, yet the entire experience feels personal and creative. It’s a place where my content looks like it belongs. I’ve tried so many platforms over the years, and Ghost is the only one that never gets in the way. It speeds up the creative process instead of slowing it down. When inspiration hits, the platform keeps up with me rather than making me pause to fight with tools. It gives me that rare feeling where technology disappears and all that remains is the work itself. If you want a home for your writing that respects your time, your ideas, and your craft, Ghost is the place to build.

I love the platform and can't recommend it enough.

Switching to Ghost wasn’t just a platform move—it was a reset. Substack felt like renting space in someone else’s building; Ghost feels like owning the land. The site is mine from the ground up: design, data, and direction. No algorithms pushing or hiding posts, no middleman skimming off the top. Just a clean, fast, reader-first experience that puts the words where they belong—front and center. It’s the right home for Burnt Ground, and for the kind of writing I intend to keep doing.

Joseph Zeigler
Joseph Zeigler burnt-ground.com

I write about money, politics, and a nation in crisis. Most platforms would bury that under ads and algorithms — Ghost doesn’t. It puts my work in front of readers exactly as I write it: uncut, uncompromised, and impossible to ignore. I’ve run companies, built software, and worked with big platforms before — Ghost stands out because it doesn’t get in the way. It lets me focus on writing, publishing, and connecting with readers who want the truth unvarnished. That’s rare, and that’s why I’m here.

As a first-time blogger exploring a decidedly niche corner of computing history, I was happy with how easy Ghost made it to get started.

Coming from Webflow, Ghost allowed us to build something that was much better suited to our needs and the pricing remained competitive. I love just how simple it is for us to collaborate and post on Ghost with brilliant analytics insights, without the need for the complicated third party integrations. The best part though, is if you need or want integrations you can!

Switching to Ghost was the best decision IOCO made for our readers and our team of 60 authors. The platform's usability is unmatched—clean, fast, and intuitive. Migrating over 12,000 posts from WordPress was a complex task, but the Ghost team supported us every step of the way, making the transition smooth and efficient. We couldn’t be happier with the result.

Moving from Wix to Ghost was the turning point for my business. Ghost stripped away the clutter and gave me a clean, powerful, creator-first platform where publishing actually feels joyful. I finally have full control over my brand, my content, and my audience - with no ads, no noise, and no gatekeepers. It’s the first time a platform truly feels like a partner.

This is so much simpler and more elegant than the social media platforms I was trying to publish on.

Ghost was so easy to build, and I am amazed at how professional it looks. Initially I considered building my newsletter business on Substack, but what sold me on Ghost was the ability to keep all my earnings! Ghost costs only about a dollar a day, which is incredibly reasonable. In my first two weeks of posting, I already have paying subscribers!

This platform is incredible. Since moving over here, it's been the smoothest transition. The UI is incredibly simple and I love the unsplash integration. I've actually felt my creativity spike since joining.

After publishing my own work on Medium and Substack, I decided it was time for something more business-oriented. Ghost provides all the tools I need and more. I am grateful for their hard work.

I absolutely love Ghost. When I decided I wanted to start a blog, I knew this is where I would end up. The site is easy to use and I love that it can be minimal. I don’t need a bunch of fancy stuff, just a place to write.

Ghost has been super easy to use and master, its removed the friction I faced in putting out content.

I read all the comparisons about providers similar to Ghost and I tried some free memberships. Ghost ended out tops because of smart and sharp tech assistance they provided to get my blog up and running. Since going Pro, although it took me a while to know 'which buttons to press where ' (as with getting to know any new software), I am now comfortable and au fait with it. Well done Ghost team.

I have started a number of independent sites since 2007 on many different platforms, from Wordpress to Substack to Medium and trying many others. None have matched the ease of use as Ghost, the transparency, and clarity. This will be the last home for me. Building from scratch is never easy, but Ghost is making it easy and fun.

I only recently decided to re-launch my writing career. I tried a few different sites but Ghost feels like home. It's easy to use, customize and promote. I'm looking forward to a long lasting relationship!

Ghost gives me the freedom to write about what I love, and the peace of mind that comes from using a platform that is intuitive and respects me as a user. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

After years on WordPress, I finally exhaled. Ghost feels like a clean desk — nothing extra, just space to write. Everything works right away, without plugins or endless setup. I customized the theme in no time, and everything runs smoothly, quietly, and reliably. For the first time, I feel like the technology serves me — not the other way around.

Ghost was my first pick when starting our media project. Their platform allows us to embrace our creativity and introduce our unique brand of writing and content to our audience.

I'm astonished at how clear and easy to use Ghost is, and how clean and attractive the end product is. That's enabled me to focus on the main purpose: Writing interesting issues so that I can share things I love with readers.

I absolutely LOVE how user-friendly and pretty the Ghost interface is. If you need a blog or newsletter tool you can use from the get-go, you need to try Ghost.

Ghost didn't solve all my problems. I still have to write. I still have to figure out what's worth saying. The blank page is still terrifying at 3am. But here's what Ghost did do: It got out of my way. After 16 years of fighting with CMSs that either treated me like an idiot or a developer, Ghost just... works. Not in a boring way. In a 'holy shit, I can actually focus on thinking instead of troubleshooting' way. The weird part? The platform keeps getting better without getting more complicated. Every update makes me think 'oh, someone actually uses this thing.' I've never written a testimonial for software before. That should tell you something.

Ghost does one thing: it gets out of the way. For consciousness research that requires 3,000-word explorations, that's not a feature—it's a requirement

Ghost is the best platform I could imagine. Posting is no longer a chore, and everything is displayed fast and beautifully. The built-in editor is fantastic to work with. Also, I can't recommend enough Ghost Pro, which takes away all the boring parts of managing a self hosted instance 🙌

For doing words, Ghost turned out to be astonishing. I never had any doubt about my choice. Essays, fiction, short stories, words, just words, as they should be.

Switching to Ghost gave me one tool for everything. Before, I juggled separate platforms for my blog and newsletter. Now I have both in one place. The paywall feature works without hassle. I can offer premium content to subscribers who pay. No complex setup needed. Ghost made my workflow simple. Write once, publish everywhere.

Ghost gave PO4OR the freedom to exist as it was meant to be, an independent cultural bridge between France and the Middle East, crafted through journalism, art, and identity, a dream I finally brought to life.

I used WordPress for a long time, but I got tired of all the plugins and settings. I just wanted to write. In the end, I ended up with Ghost. You hardly have to configure anything and can concentrate completely on writing. I love it!

Starting Pixels & Chai on Ghost has completely changed how I create. I wanted a space that felt relaxed, independent, and ad-free; a home for my writing about gaming over 40. Ghost made that possible. It’s exactly what I needed to grow something small into a proper home for my stories and community.

We moved from another e-mail newsletter site that didn't allow us to have a website as well. We've seen a 100% increase in engagement after our switch to Ghost. It's been a complete game changer!

For almost 2 decades, I always used WordPress, but it always makes chores too much. Sometimes I find myself more in the backend and working with plugins than the writing and publishing. Now, with Ghost, I can really focus on my writing with no problems.

As an independent journalist writing for a relatively small target audience, a few years ago it would have been unimaginable to run a local media outlet so easily. Ghost allows me to focus solely on the content needs of my audience.
