Making Money Through Free Websites
There are different ways to do free blogging and make money from your free blog. One common method is by creating free blog on blogger or wordpress. While you can use adsnese on blogger, you cannot use adsense on free wordpress, free wordpress do not even allow excessive advertising. You can also create free blogs on website builders, however, it is difficult to make money on free website builders because major ad networks do not accept free website builders. You can use affiliate ads though. Another way to do free blogging is publish on the free publishing platforms like medium, hubpages, vocal, read cash, hive, publish0x, etc. On these free platforms, you do not have to worry about ad networs, you need to focus on creating content and building views. Another option for a free blog is get a freenon domain, get free hosting from 000webhost and then start blogging. But I am not sure if you can get approved by ad networks.
How to Create Your Own Website For Free
There are a lot of free website builders and free blogging platforms that allow you to create free site (that’s why they are called free blogging or free website). However, these platforms will give you a subdomain site. There are a lot of problems with subdomain site, for example, there will be difficulty in monetization, ranking on search engines, and getting traffic. That’s why you need to create a site with a custom domain. However, the problem with creating a website with custom domain is you need to pay for domain and hosting. Interestingly, there is a solution.
Go to Freenom where you can get a free domain for lifetime (however, you need to renew before it expires).
Once you have the free domain, go to 000webhost and get a free hosting.
Once you have a domain and hosting, you will have to point your domain to the nameservers of your web host and then install CMS of your choice and create a website.
How to Host Your Website For Free
If you want to launch a website, you need a domain and hosting and you will have to spend money to buy domain and hosting. If you manage to pay for a domain, but can’t pay for hosting, there are a couple of options you can try.
Mapping a domain with Blogger
Blogger is a hosting platform from Google. You don’t have to pay to use Blogger. The blogspot blog you can build is actually hosted on Blogger. Instead of subdomain blogspot, you can actually use your own domain and host it on your blogger account. All you need is a gmail and an account on Blogger.
Free hosting
When you host with blogger, you are not in full control. If you want full control on your website, you can use free hosting companies. You get limited bandwith and diskspace, however, this shouldn’t be a problem because you get a website running for free. You can try 000webhost
Monetization Methods for Free Blogs
If you want to blog, you can do it in two ways, one create your own self-hosted blog (by registering a domain and buying a hosting plan), or start blogging on free blogging platforms. You have two options for free blogging, one create a site on free blogging platforms like wordpress, blogspot, wix, weebly, etc. and two, start publishing on blogging sites like hubpages, medium, vocal, etc. If you are publishing on free blogging sites like hubpages, medium, etc. you do not have to worry about monetizing your content because you will be earning through the site’s monetization method. For example, on hubpages you earn from ad impression, on medium you earn from views. However, if you want to create a free blog on wordpress, blogspot, etc. you will have to monetize your blogs. So, how do you do it.
Adsense is not available for free blogs except blogspot.
You can use Amazon ads on numerous free blogs but some free blogs will disable your site for excessive advertising.
