    Ah I have so many questions. I'm looking into copy writing, but now I've opened a can of worms.

    Me. 32, part time restaurant server, part time dating coach. I'm looking to build a website to advertise my services. This led to more, and more, and more questions. It just never ends!!!! I figure I have several years of learning, and a million books to read.

    Question 1. Should I pay for these, "Free website with $12 a month hosting." deals? That's pretty cheap. I know I could make one on wordpress....but I'm so newb.

    Mini website scam. I downloaded some free ebook of craigslist to research...and shit. He sold me. I didn't pay, but....it's like this concept, that I could make a little money here and there of selling a product that teaches you how to host a website where you do little to no work other than promotion of the site? What is the reality here?

    And thanks!!!!!

    If your looking to get a nice powerful, fast, secure and easy to use website I recommend going with this new WordPress Hosting provider called Quixli. All Quixli sites are powered by FireHost. FireHost is the worlds most secure and powerful hosting provider. So i think this is the best option for what your looking for. Hope this helps!

    You didn't really answer my question. You just sound like you are pushing something. Are you? I'm just trying to dig through all the shit. And you have seven posts. I smell shit.

    And to answer more on your question is no you should go with some free website that is going to provide you with some subdomain instead of your own domain. You definitely want to be able to brand your self with your own domain. And the reality of making money online is that it takes a lot of work, and don't listen anyone telling you that it's easy, because is not.

    His he? lolll yea...

    I will definitely recommend going with a less than $5-10/month shared hosting account (like Hostgator - no that's not my site :p) and go with making your own WP (WordPress) site it is so easy. Yep you'll also need a domain name. But that's all. Everyone will try to sell you something, you don't have to at this point. Learn the basics free here and there, you will find so many useful information to get your things going. Feel free to reinvest money when you'll make some though :)

    And sorry but I don't really understand your last question? Are you talking about YOU selling hosting? Because definitely you are still not an expert in that field right? ;)

    Now if you are making a site on DATING help, promoting one of the popular dating guide on ClickBank will certainly make much more sense :) And definitely CPA (dating networks)!

    You don't need to do any of that stuff if you are that new. Personally, I would start off with making a blog with BLOGGER or a site with WEEBLY. They are both effective, FREE, and neither of them require you to buy hosting. After you are making some money, then you can upgrade to hosting and WordPress, but there is no need for that in order for you to start getting your feet wet in Internet Marketing.
