When is FREE not really free

By Dennis Brooks

When is free not really free. A lot of newcomers to internet marketing are working on a very tight budget.
There are hundreds of free tools available on the internet to do all sorts of jobs, a lot of them are extremely useful and are regularly used by internet marketers.

However there are a couple of areas where you should never use free resources
You see advertisements for free web hosting this is tempting for the newcomer on a tight budget, but, it is not a commercially viable option.
You spend a lot of time building your new website and post it on the web for all to see, you build a reputation based on that address.

If you have it hosted on a free site, you don't own the address, the owner is allowing you to use it.
They frequently pay for it by putting advertisements onto your pages, that may be detrimental to your content, they also often place restrictions on what you can put onto your site.
There was one I saw recently that advertised that you could use your own domain name and they would register that for free as well, reading the small print I noticed that they retain ownership of the domain name, you had no access to the control panel, you could only have either a content site or a blog, they would put advertisements on your website and if you had less than 300 visitors a month they would close you down.
Does that sound like a good deal on the long term.

The paid option is much better, and it is not that expensive, well worth the investment.
