How to Create Your Own Website

How to create your own website with free hosting and platform.
I have been doing some research lately and there is a considerable number of people who are willing to make its own website, of course, we are creative creatures and in this Information Age we want to share what we know with the world through the web, but then we would have to have a website where we could share our thoughts or work or whatever we want to share.
On this article I'm going to teach you how to create your own website without having to spend a dime, in other words, totally free of charge. Because of the recession we are all trying to save some money to the things that really matter, since having website would be a hobby we wouldn't have to spend big bucks on it.
But that's not only the problem that people who wants to know how to create their own website face, most of them don't know a thing about HTML or CSS, and they have no idea from where to begin.

First, you need to know why do you want to have a website, if you are willing to have a website to write about things that's going on your life, work, kids, personal topics in general, then I would recommend you to build a blog. Why a blog? Because blogs doesn't require much coding knowledge and it is a piece of cake to post new content on it. It is most like point and click.
Now if you want to offer a service or product, then it is recommended to build a website.
Following are two methods which will teach how to create your own website.

Have Your Own Website With A Few Clicks


How To Create Your Own Website - Blogger

Of course there are other options of free blog plataform, so why I choose blogger? First, their service is outstanding, you can have a domain pointing to your blog once you have got the hang of it and wants to get serious about your blog, then you can buy a domain name for 9 bucks and point them to your blogger blog, and voilĂ , you have a www.yoursite.com, in other words, you have created your own website. :)

So without waiting any longer, let's get our hands dirty!

First you are going to Blogger website and get a free blogger account.
Now you're going to click on "Create a Blog", but if by chance you already have a Google Account, you can use it too, just type in your email and password.
After you create your account, now it's time to select a name for your blog, choose something which has to do to what you are going to post, the page title as well, an example of blog address, if you are going to build a website about your hobby which turns out to be cars, then you would choose a name accordingly, like fastcars, sportcars, bmwsportcars etc.. If the name is already taken, you keep trying until you find one you like and is available. Since the service is popular it is really likely the obvious names will be already taken.
After choosing it, you hit continue.
Next page you'll be taken to choose a template, choose anyone you like the best, you can change it later. Hit continue.

That's it, you have now a setted up blog and you are already ready to begin to post your thoughts or whatever you feel like doing. Hit Start Posting and post your first post!

tmonster - On weebly can you post your own google adsense ads? Very informative website - thank you.

Hello Cheri, yes that is possible, but they have what we call "revenue share", so you'll be able to earn 50% of the revenue from your site, but that's using their widget, which is just drag 'n' drop, from the toolbar to the webpage itself. What you can, and I highly recommend doing is to add the "Custom HTML" box, so you can add your adsense code right in there and there will not have a "revenue share" and you keep 100% of your earnings with adsense. There are other ways to monetize a weebly website too, there is even a "Revenue" tab on the dashboard so you can check out which one would work better for you. :)

Great suggestion..Thank you very much. I will use the Custom Html box in order to add the adsense code myself. I read your other hub and seen that check for $132K. I cannot belief that they are making that kind of money. Something to shoot for. Have you used weebly to create your own websites?

Cheri that guy is really famous because of that, his name is Jeremy Schoemaker, he owns a really neat blog now, this pic was back in 2004, when adsense weren't really known so people weren't "ad blind" yet. You can check his blog http://www.shoemoney.com/, he earns way more than that now, I'm not sure if with adsense still. Not really, I use www.wordpress.org on my own hosting account, so I have more control over the content, took me a while to "get it" though! If you are new to this and wants to monetize websites with adsense, I would recommend using blogger since google loves blogger blogs. :)
