Preface
Decades ago, it was only big companies that could afford to have websites. Fast forward to today, and an average Joe can have one running in minutes. There are now a lot of companies providing website services, driving costs down on the part of consumers.
Making it even better, some of these companies are generous enough to let you have a website without paying anything. However, it's not everyone who knows how to get a free website.
Besides, having a lot of companies that provide the same thing can leave you confused and not knowing which one to choose. Actually, if you are not careful, you can end up paying a high price for something that was advertised as free.
This book will act as your guide to getting a free website. But, as you may know, free usually comes at a cost. So, we will look at the pros and cons of going down this road. I will then show you how easy it can be to set up a free website.
But, since a website will do nothing on its own, I will also give you tips on how you can increase traffic with great content, SEO, and other methods.
I'm sure you will find this book useful,so without wasting any more time, let's get started, because a free website awaits you.
