Build Profitable Website

When it come to build a website we always have two options regarding the price, the free way or paid way. While generally, and personally, I always suggest my readers to choose the paid way due to many advantages it has, and also many disadvantages of the free method, I should say that for the first timers, building your website using the free method is probably the best step to learn the basics without any need to spend any money. After understanding the basic steps, it is suggested to move to the paid one to get the most advantages of their own website.

Remember, the purpose of this blog is to provide information how to make profitable website. While you still can make money from free website, you should know that using free website or free hosting will limit your self since you can’t do many things that can be done if you are using paid website/hosting.

With that in mind, let’s start talking about building your website for free to learn the very basic steps before you move forward on your journey to make a profitable website.

There are many free website or free hosting services available on the internet. When I started learning these website building things, I used geocities and tripod to host my sites. As an exchange, I have to let them place some banners and ads on all of my pages. That is the common practice at that time, actually still applied until now, you can get a free hosting where you can put your website online for free, and as an exchange the free hosting company will place an ads or two on all of your websites and pages.

Then, a friend of mine introduced me with the blog things. I started my blogging journey using free blog from blogspot.com. Using this free blog hosting service, all you need to do is simply register a free account with them and you can start your own blog in no time. There will be no banner ads placed on your blog, even you can place your own ads on that blog. The navigation system is quite easy that I’m sure you can start your blogspot blog easily. Register using a gmail email to make it easier for you.

After using blogspot for sometimes, I was introduced with wordpress. To learn about this blog system, I joined wordpress.com where I can create my wordpress blog for free. Just like the blogspot, all you need to do is just register an account for free and you can start your wordpress blog right away. I should say that wordpress is quite different compared to blogspot and probably you will need sometimes to really learn and understand all of their features. However, after you really understand all of wordpress features, you will see that it is really fun blogging using wordpress.

If you never made a blog before, I really suggest you to register and make a blog at wordpress.com to learn more about their features. It will be really helpful for you in the future. I should probably tell you here, that most of my websites now are based on wordpress blog, and probably the information you’ll find here mostly will also be based on this wordpress blogging system. So, if you don’t know about it yet, simply go to the website, register a free account, and start build your first wordpress blog.

The two free methods above are based on free blogging system, and since I don’t want to make an impression that you only can make free blog, I will give you a direction where you can get your free web host to host your website.

If you have built your website offline using frontpage, dreamweaver, or any other website builders, then you will need a host service to host the website. If in the beginning of this article I mentioned geocities and tripod, actually there are many free hosting services available on the net. Some of them even don’t place any ads on your website and pages. You can use google to find them or simply go to these two websites below to find the free hosting services, they are: freewebhostingtalk.com and freewebspace.net. There are many other website providing information about free hosting but I’m sure the two above is enough.

The good news is, most of the current free hosting services also provide you several installer scripts where you can easily install your blog. Most of the time you can install a wordpress blog, this will be a good way for you to learn more about wordpress blogging. If you find your free hosting provider provides a wordpress installer, make sure you use it. Install a wordpress blog to really learn and understand this blogging engine that you can’t find from the free one you get from wordpress.com.

I will give you one free hosting service where you can install a wordpress blog on it. Visit www.freehostia.com register an account for free then you can start building your wordpress blog for free. Another free host service is www.ej.am where you can even get a free hosting with cPanel control panel. Cpanel is one of the most used hosting panels that has many installers on it, including wordpress.

I suggest you to register at those two free hosting services to learn more about wordpress and at the same time learn about hosting things. I will probably talk about web hosting in the future, but for now, using the two free services above, you can start learning about hosting right away.

Now, I have to remind you about implementing what you’ve learnt. If you never made a website or blog before, go to the websites I mentioned above, and start implement what you have just read here. I can’t write all the steps required to register an account and make your first website or blog on that website since it will be too long. However, if there is anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me. I’ll try to help as much as I can. Just leave me a comment.
