Of course, you can create your own pages. The options available for the pages are the same as for your articles.
Create a blog that pays off with the page and article builder
The page builder is identical to the one used to create the sales tunnels. You have a series of elements that you can insert into your page by drag and drop.
Then you can change the properties of each element by a multitude of settings that allow you to adapt your page or article to the design of your blog.
You can modify each element or block directly on the page. Thus, you have a direct view of the page or article on the screen.

The template of the articles is built this way:

- The comments.
The blog template is composed of :
- a top menu for the navigation and the name of the blog .

You can modify the different elements or blocks with the page builder of Systeme.io quickly.
Create a blog that makes money
To optimize and create a blog that pays off, you should think about integrating an email capture form to create a list of subscribers to your newsletter.
The advantage with Systeme.io is that you have everything at your fingertips. Thus, you will create a small product that you will offer in exchange for the email address. This is what we call a lead magnet.
People will be able to subscribe to your e-mail list thanks to a form on each of your pages or via a pop-up that you can easily insert on your blog.
This option is, in fact, available on each of your blog pages. Once the person subscribed to your e-mail list, you will be able to create with Systeme.io a sequence of e-mails automatically through the autoresponder or by creating newsletters and campaigns.
In this way, you can communicate with your subscribers to offer them your products and services.
Notice on the creation of blog with Systeme.io
This option allows you to create a site that is quickly available. It is very useful when you want to present an activity or a product without having to worry about hosting the blog.
However, it is not the ideal solution if you want an elaborate blog.
The functionalities are much more reduced than with a CMS like WordPress.
That’s why I recommend this solution if you don’t have a blog and you want a showcase.
For a professional use, prefer a solution like WordPress with dedicated hosting.
