I Need A Website For Free

Date: September 24, 2012 Author: ang Category: Websites Tags: , , , Comments: 0

More and more people are searching online using the term 'I need a website for free'. People don't understand that time isn't free, and it shouldn't be wasted under the false concept that it's free. Remember success is about ROI not free stuff. I thought I'd make a post to help people better understand the different between free sites and cost effective websites. There are many different ways to go about getting a website, and some are free. Keep in mind that the online world is very competitive. If you want a free website, you can have one, but if you want online success, i.e. website traffic, branding, subscribers, SEO, and credibility it's a different story. Below is a list of free methods to make a website compared with slightly more costly examples and how what benefits/costs they entail.

Here is a list of free website options. I will display lacking aspects next to each website option so you can better understand the 'give and take' of free website optins versus non free website options.

Free website services

Free subdomain website/blog services like Tumblr.com, WordPress.com, Blogger.com, Weebly.com, webs.com, and Yola.com are completely free. The expect to make money on website owners who eventually decide to upgrade to a custom domain for their website. This is how they make their profits, and on ads. Free website owners decide to upgrade to a custom domain when they learn that a custom domain is better SEO wise. When they realize they aren't getting any website traffic most free website owners decide to purchase a custom domain for ~$12.00-23.00/year.

Why people buy custom domains

A custom domain for your once free website services listed above, is a first step in creating a competitive website. Website owners get picky about their website as time goes on. They start to get website traffic and learn what their competition is. They see their competitors using more options and using batter branding and marketing strategies and decide to upgrade. The services listed above offer limited results compared to most serious websites out there.

Why people upgrade to WordPress and a logo

At this point, people usually decide to go all out and purchase a web hosting account for $4/month, along with a custom domain. They also decide to set up a self-hosted WordPress website because it's the best CMS technology to date with the most options. Traffic starts to trickle in more, and website owners decide to start branding a logo, using AdSense or BuySellAds.com for extra profits. It doesn't get any more serious than this.

Serious websites, usually have serious website owners blogging 1-5 posts a day. You rarely see a free website owner out ranking a serious website owner in the search engines or website traffic. You can create a serious website very afford ably by purchasing my Affordable Website Package. The website package includes a custom logo, WordPress website, custom theme, web hosting, email addresses, and optional email list, SEO, and continual admin support.
