Do you have your own website?
« on: June 04, 2017, 01:02:52 am »
For a couple of years I've managed a Google Blogger blog and it's something I enjoyed doing; however, Google recently shut it down because I was using my Amazon affiliate link to monetize it.  Apparently, you can only monetize a free blog like that if you qualify for and use Adsense ads.

That being said, I decided to "break away" from Blogger and create my own Wordpress website; where I paid for a domain name and paid for hosting for a year.  The total for those 2 things was about $104.00 with Hostgator.  I just started it on Mother's Day last month.

My website is all about trivia and other information. 

Do you have your own site?

:heart:


 
Have a great day!

That's awesome! I used to have my own multiple websites and now I run and manage a site for my son. I have my own hosting which I get discounted and also make extra money for selling hosting. I will have my own site up soon within the next 6 months about my new career/business with Health Coaching and I am excited! The school will provide it for us so I can promote myself. :)

Years ago I had a website that I built up and it had a lot of retail stores in it. then it faded. then a few years ago, I had a website on go daddy and people kept referring to it as a blog so I cut it out. Now I just run a blog. same concept,no cost.

I use wix (free/no domain) for 2 sites.  One is maintain regularly... the other is fairly behind and needs some work.  I wonder if people would consider that one a blog?  I also built and maintain a site for my church.  Again no domain.  They don't want the extra fee.

I do not have one but I am considering it.  So this is good information to know.  Not surprising though unfortunately.  It's all about the money.  Just like everything else in this world.

I have several websites that all use the WordPress blogging platform.  I think links are prohibited, but I don't think it is a violation to provide the blog titles:  GetPaid!   Words of Wisdom    No Coincidences with God     Rusty's Recent  Ramblings     Tommy's World


Each is a fun way to stay creative!  Good luck to you!

I have started dozens of websites by getting a $1 a month hosting account with NoSupportLinuxHosting.com and registering a domain name with GoDaddy for less than that and a lot of them use WordPress. It's all in knowing what is available.
