“What happens to my blog posts if I end my Storytailor account?”
It’s a valid question. But let’s start by answering this question … with a question. Why on earth would you want to leave us?
You’ve found in Storytailor an all-in-one SEO powerhouse, combining fast, easy blog post assembly and composition with a FULL set of SEO tools guaranteeing your blog posts get all the attention you’re needing online. By this point you probably even “own” certain search terms in your market, if you’ve positioned yourself correctly. So since this is working so perfectly for you, why even think about hanging it up and missing out on potential benefits?
Obviously everyone may have his or her own reasons for needing to deactivate their Storytailor account, and we appreciate that. So let’s talk about your end of use options.
OPTION ONE — WALK AWAY
Option One is the bad one, so we’re not going to spend a lot of time on it. Because it’s a really bad idea and we don’t want you to choose this one. Option One is to do nothing. Cancel your account, and move on with your life. If you choose Option One, all your beautiful blog posts will live on our secure servers for 90 days (we’ll call it your “change your mind” period) before they will be wiped clean, never to be seen again. This is a *horrible* result because you’ll lose access to these posts and to the SEO magic they pulled in for you over the years. Again, this is really sad and no good, so let’s move on.
OPTION TWO — LONG-TERM BLOG HOSTING
Option Two is similar, except that it’s entirely different. As your blog posts have heretofore been hosted on our secure servers, being served up daily to your blog visitors and collecting all that wonderful SEO attention over the years, the BEST thing to do is to leave them riiiiiiight where they are, doing what they’re doing. Since we feel so strongly about this, we’ve created a way for you to keep your past blog posts active and intact, even if you decide to end your active relationship with Storytailor. For a low annual fee of only $10, we’re offering a long-term blog post hosting solution that will keep all that good, good SEO magic pulling for you, at a price you’ll barely notice. This is our lowest-cost and lowest-impact method for keeping your stuff in place, should you decide your active relationship with Storytailor is over.

OPTION THREE — BLOG POST DOWNLOAD
So, there is an Option Three. It’s much more involved and doesn’t have the long-term SEO benefits that Option Two has, but for some of you it may feel like the right way forward. Option Three allows you to download your blog posts from our secure server and move them to your own server for long-term hosting. This solution offers the *felt* advantage of having your blog posts safely in hand, but the biggest disadvantage is that by un-publishing and re-publishing your blog posts, you’re starting over at ground zero with regards to SEO. So if you’ve had long-standing blog posts out there in the world for a couple of years generating all sorts of SEO attention for you, then you un-publish/re-publish the same posts on a new server, you’ve lost all the momentum you built up along the way. Are the blog posts now on your own server? Sure. Are you better off for it? No, you’re really not.
The most important thing to understand when thinking about Storytailor is that it’s not *just* a blog prep software. And it’s not *just* an image hosting service. Storytailor is an all-inclusive blog marketing service providing everything from assembly and composition through long-term SEO benefits. And at the price point at which we’re offering it, it’s a pretty low-impact investment into your business’s future.
So we’ll close as we opened — “Why on earth would you want to leave us?”
