Free Or Paid Site?

	<	2	>
Step 2: Free Or Paid Site? Usually I tell people to not invest any money from their pocket for any online money making opportunity. This is to make sure that no one gets scammed. But there are few opportunities where it is perfectly fine to invest your money.  For example:  If you want to start stock market trading business, then you will need to deposit some money in some well established Company/Bank. Such investment is scam free.  Just like that, you can invest some money to get your own site and your own domain.  You will have to decide if you want to go with a free website or you want your own domain which off course will cost some money. For example:  If this is the main site:  mainsite.com  Then this can be a subdomain:  minsite.mainsite.com  Or  minisite1.mainsite.com  You can get subdomains for free. So you can build a website without any kind of investment.  You can also get a free site which will be located in a subdirectory. Like:  Mainsite.com/some-directory/yoursite/  Here is a list of sites where you can get a site for free:  Blogger  Google Sites  Yahoo GeoCities [Yahoo Is Closing Geocities]  Remember that in order to make money from your websites, you will have to do some hard work. You will need to learn lot of things.  Making a blog/site at the above mentioned sites is very easy. You just need to explore all the options that are available. In case you need any help, you can ask questions in this forum.  Your Own Site:  You can also buy your own site/blog. Many people prefer to get their own sites instead of making subdomains in some other website.  There are some benefits that people think we have of owing one’s your own website.  You will have full control over your site.  When you will get backlinks, they will be pointing to your own site and not to some subdomain on someone else’s site. There are many restrictions in free sites that you do not have in your own site: like, you have an .htaccess file that you can use in your own site.  If you are really serious about entering website business and if you are willing to work hard on your site, then I suggest you get your own domain name and hosting.  There are two things that you will need to buy if you want your own website. First one is:  Domain Name:  Every site has a name right? Like the site where you are reading this content, the name is: a1newspapers.com.  So you will also have to get a domain name. I suggest you do not worry about the extension of the domain: you can buy a .com, .info etc domain.  .com domains are preferable as people usually type .com at the end of site URL.  .com domains cost around $10/year.  I think the best registrar of domain names is Godaddy.  Hosting:  Now you have a domain name, but you will need some web-space for your site too right?  Hosting = A place where you can upload files and other stuff for your domain.  Thus you need a hosting. A good hosting plan may costs around $100/year. I suggest you do not buy cheap hosting plans.  Some cheap hosting plans even cost $12 per year.  If you get a cheap hosting plan, then you will experience different types of problems. What to do after buying a hosting and a domain name?  If you get a free website, then you do not have to learn lot of things. But when it comes to setting up a new site in your own domain, then that needs some hard work and lot of learning.  You have two options:  One is to hire a freelancer who will create a website for you. But you will have to pay when some money for his work. If you want to hire a freelancer, then you can go here to find a list of freelance sites:  List Of Freelance Sites  The second option is to work really hard and do lot of research on the internet to learn the basics. You can do everything yourself but for that, you will have to do the learning for like 8 or so hours every day.  I suggest that you use WordPress to create a nice looking blog.
