How to get followers/subscribers over to new wordpress.org site

    I want to be able to get our stats and e-mail subscribers and followers over to our new self-hosted wordpress.org site. We had over two hundred who subscribed to e-mail and followed us and now our new site called familytravelescapades hardly has any readers. Our old site did much better but I was counseled repeatedly to get our own site. We have invested a lot of money and I hate to start out at almost zero and plus I hate to lose subscribers and followers. I have read about a jetpack plug-in which we have on our new site but didn’t see how to put one on our old site. Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello neverland2001,

    You’re right about Jetpack.

    Once it is installed on your self-hosted blog and connected to the WordPress.com account (which has the blog with followers), you can easily move its subscribers and followers over to your new self-hosted blog.

    Follow these steps:

    • Install Jetpack on your self-hosted blog and connect it to your WordPress.com account.
    • Read the information here before moving.
    • Move your followers/subscribers using the Subscriber Migration Tool of Jetpack.

    Feel free to ask again if you get stuck somewhere.
