    Hi there, @jdewalt88!

    I recommend our Premium plan, based on what you have shared about the site you are looking to create.

    On the Premium plan, you will be able to build a site with a blog and much more. On the Premium plan, you also get access to live chat and additional site customization options.

    Lastly, this plan will work for you even when you are ready to start selling books on your site. The Premium plan offers a couple of different ways to sell products on your site. I recommend the Pay with PayPal Block to sell your books when you are ready, which is available on the Premium plan.

    You can find more about Pay with PayPal here:

    The Pay with PayPal block lets you add a PayPal payment button to any post or page. You can then start collecting payments or donations securely through your site. If you’re looking for more advanced features, like shipping options or recurring payments, check out our other ecommerce options here. This feature is available on sites with our WordPress.com Premium, Business, and Commerc

    I hope this helps! Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions.

    @jdewalt88 If you’re not ready to sell your book yet, I’d highly recommend the personal plan first, unless you have big ideas for your website, which would require all the bells and whistles of the premium plan and css and stuff. Get your custom domain and begin building your brand.

    Do NOT use the free plan. WP has been adding a ton of ads to free sites and it will not look professional at all. All ads are removed in the personal plan (and all the other paid plans too). Here’s the link just in case you don’t believe me or staff tries to say otherwise:

    It is always easier to upgrade than to downgrade. Since money is an issue. Good luck!
