So this post explains why I have chosen to use Divi to build my WordPress theme
To some it might seem strange, but to others you will see why I have chosen it.
Like most people who start building websites on WA, I have used the GeneratePress theme
Equally I Have also used GeneratePress Pro

Now there is nothing wrong with GeneratePress. It does a lot of good things.
But in breaks between using the WA platform and them coming back
You learn to research and define what exactly it is that you want to do moving forward
For me, with recent commissions received from Kindle Publishing and also Benable
I looked at the absolute smartest way to earn an income online
For me it boils down to a couple of things
Generating Traffic and stacks of it
or writing books, guides and how to manuals

Ive opted for the latter, simply because it affords more options
plus you get paid once for work done once only

That for me is a big big factor.
So with all that in mind, plus other factors I wish to pursue moving forward
I considered a lot of WordPress Themes, including the two I thought were best
GeneratePress and Elegant Themes
Ultimately, it boiled down to the fact that Elegant Themes, for me anyway
provides the most benefits, which includes a complete WP toolkit
and has been rebuilt from the ground upwards.
Elegant Themes also happened to have excellent customer support
plus a couple of really good offers, one which included a lifetime price
So I decided to opt for Elegant Themes and have installed it on my Website
Everything is go ready to build and I can't wait to get started building it.
I have also connected my stripe account to it already so I can receive payments to my bank
At this stage everything is looking good
I can also build my list on a different platform, but attach it to my site, so happy days
Thanks for reading and if you are considering installing a theme, then my top tip would be
Consider what it is that you want to write about (Your Niche)
Will it (Your Theme) give everything you want to have
Does it have a good affiliate plan attached to it
Thanks for reading and enjoy building your blog/website out
