If you want to create a professioanl looking web site that sells, you are not going to get it for free.
Free hosting looks cheap and unprofessional.
1. Your host will be competing with you for your visitors.
2. You have limited tools to work with, and cannot use things like scripts, flash, and other necessary things, such as shopping carts.
3. Most free hosting services state in the fine print, that their services are not to be used for commercial purposes.
You need to buy your own domain name and pay for a hosting account. This IS NOT expensive. But it is a necessary business expense.
You can go to GDI and get hosting for $10/month.
When it comes to business, you have to spend money to make. Fact of life.
Consider this:
Would you expect to see a profit from the stock market without investing anything? Of course not. Well, you can't expect to see a profit from a business if you are not willing to invest in it either.
How many bottles of Pepsi do you think would be bought if Pepsi Co didn't spend money on market research and advertising? Why do you think they spend millions of dollars on a 60 second spot durring the Super Bowl? Because you have to spend it to make it. That is the way sales and marketing work.
If you want to get coached by a business professional, you'd better have cash. The first thing they ask you is, "How much money do you have to invest in your business?" If you say none, they say nice talking to ya!
That is the reality of being in business. You have to spend it to make it. If you aren't willing to invest in your business, why should anyone want to invest in what you're selling?
