Let us be candid, first off. There is really no way under the sun to be able to earn money without investing your time or money or both, unless you have been lucky to be an heir to millions of rupees worth of property. Since most of us aren’t, we need to accept the fundamental truth that we need to work hard for our money.
Whether offline or online, we need to ensure that we invest either time or money and then work hard to garner some kind of return on investments. In our world of online businesses, if you had seriously thought of it as a business model the world is increasingly taking to, you need to realize that your free domains, free web hosting and free blogs will only get you so far. If you were looking to earn a lot of money and become successful, you need to break away from the shackles of the evil ‘free’ stuff.
Remember the maxim – You get what you pay for! If all you had ever wanted to do was to share your thoughts on your cute little kitten, this is not for you. But if you had always wanted to leverage the power of Internet and pioneer a business out of its sheer scope and enormity, you need to look to invest in things like your own domain name, hosting packages and everything else that needs to be had in place to get you where you ought to go.
The reason why you won’t really be able to earn any money is primarily because something like free.youdidnotbuydomain.com is very difficult to remember and people have an increasing tendency to forget anything that is difficult to remember. Apart from this, a lot of features are not available to users looking for anything free and as age old as the fact is, the more money you have the better things start getting.
Moreover, your free hosted, free domain site is not very search engine friendly. Now, search engines, if you may recollect, is what people use for majority of their searches online and is probably the best possible way to get your site indexed and searched for free, if only you had an actual domain name and paid-up hosting.
Just as there is no free lunch, there isn’t any thing free that can make you a millionaire that you so want to be. So, let go of your inhibitions, rebel and invest.
