The Ghost CMS Success Stories: Inspiring Blogs and Businesses Flourishing on the Ghost Platform

Ghost is a free, open source blogging platform. It's easy to use and customizable, making it a good choice for businesses and bloggers alike.

Ghost has a small community of users--only about 2,000 on GitHub at the time this article was written--but its popularity is growing rapidly because of its ease-of-use and flexibility.

Introduction

Ghost is a simple, elegant and flexible blogging platform. It allows you to easily create your own blog or business website with no technical knowledge required.

Ghost's popularity has been growing rapidly over the last few years and it's now being used by some of the biggest companies in the world including Mozilla, Shopify and Buffer.

In this guide we'll show you how Ghost can help you achieve success as an entrepreneur or blogger by:

  • Building an audience around your content - whether that's through traffic from search engines or links built by other bloggers (the latter being much more valuable).

The Role of a Content Management System (CMS) in Your Business

A content management system (CMS) is a website platform that allows you to create, publish and manage your own website without having to code. It's an easy way to get started with building your own online presence without having to learn how to code HTML or CSS.

A CMS enables you to easily add new content onto your site without having any technical knowledge of how websites work. This makes it possible for anyone in your business who has basic computer skills, such as writing articles or designing graphics, create their own posts or pages without needing any assistance from developers or designers--allowing them more time on other tasks that are more important for growing their business!

How to Know if Ghost is Right for You?

Ghost is a blogging platform that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It was originally created by John O'Nolan and launched in October 2013, with version 1.0 released in January 2014.

It's important to understand what Ghost is and how it differs from WordPress, so let's take a look at both:

  • What Is Ghost?

Ghost is an open source content management system (CMS) based on NodeJS, which means it can be hosted on any server that supports NodeJS. Ghost has its own built-in database system called ElectronDB that stores all of your posts and pages locally instead of using MySQL or another database. This makes managing large amounts of content much easier because there isn't any lag time when loading new pages/posts like there would be if they were stored remotely somewhere else (like on Amazon Web Services).

How to Get Started With Ghost

To get started with Ghost, you'll need to download and install the software on your server. You can find instructions for doing so here: https://ghost.org/installation/.

Once you've installed Ghost, create a new blog by going to http://yourwebsite.com/ghost/, where "yourwebsite" is the URL of your website (e.g., http://exampleblog.com/ghost). Then select "Create Blog," give it a name and click "Create Blog."

Next we'll add a theme from one of several popular themes stores such as ThemeForest (https://themeforest.net/) or Creative Market (https://creativemarketplace....). This will allow us to customize our site's look and feel without having any coding knowledge! If you'd rather have someone else do this for you - no problem! There are plenty of freelancers on sites like UpWork who will be happy do this work for cheap prices too!

Now let's add some plugins which will help improve user experience by adding features like comments or social media share buttons onto posts/pages...
