My advice: Avoid Free web sites

As with free email, there are many free web site providers. Unfortunately, I must advice against using a free web site if you are serious about getting visitors to your web site. Investing in a professionally hosted web site with a domain name is absolutely necessary if you want to succeed on the Internet. And, it does not have to be expensive. I pay only US$5 a month for this web site (see link at bottom of page) which can get as many as 4000 visitors per day, and for a few dollars more you can even host a web site with lots more traffic.

However, if you still want to get a free web site for some fun or to learn about web design, you can find the best providers of free web hosting here. You might also have a look at our free domains page.

Get a sponsor for your web site

The easiest way to make money from your new web site is to join an affiliate program.

They also act as an intermediary between you and your sponsors, so you don't have to worry about the money you have earned. As you can see on this web site, they are my main source of income.
