Are Free Sites Better?

Like many things online there are both free and paid home based business opportunities you can join. Choosing which is best for you can have a big impact on how successful you are in your new venture. When I started thinking about starting a home based business I had no idea where to start! I didn't want to discount paid opportunities because I figured if you had to pay for it, it had to be better than free, right? But then again, I noticed there seemed to be many excellent free online business ideas as well. I first looked at affiliate programs. These are very popular today online and most of them do not cost any money to join. Some even give you a replicated website. However, this does not mean that you have a real business at that point. Many top affiliate marketers use their own websites instead of the replicated websites provided by most merchants. This seemed like a pretty good idea to me because lets face it- having your own site is way better than using someone else's. Many top people also build their own email marketing list. This way you can follow up with potential customers. One site that continued to show up as I was looking around was the Plug-In-Profit-Site (PIPS). This program has the advantage of providing you with your own unique website plus a prewritten newsletter already set up in an autoresponder. This gives you an automatic leg-up on other free sites and makes things a little easier. The site also provides great training in the for of a discussion forum and the "30 Days To Success" guide which is great even by itself for learning how to market anything on the net. How much would you expect to pay for such a great program? Well, the PIPS site team will set up your unique website for free. They also provide you with a free autoresponder and email newsletter so you can begin building you all-important mailing list right away. You WILL have to pay for website hosting charges, but to have your own unique site it is well worth the small cost! Your overall expenses will still be very low to start with. And then as you begin making money with your site you can put more money back into it to make it even better. Spending a little bit of money to get started right is really the best home based business idea there is and the Plug-In_Profit-Site will help you to achieve your dreams of having your own online home business!

  1. Great information Douglas,

    People should know that using free advertising works but need to know how to get them to work. I learned a pretty nifty way of getting the most out of my free advertising. Re-post at least every 20 minutes to an hour a day. The reason is because there are only a few people on at one given time and when you have thousands of other business owners posting your add may not get seen.
