Quick Question

I noticed that there are many warriors here that uses free hosting and domains;freedomain.wordpress.com. So my question is has anyone here ever made ANY amount of money using this method? If you did, was it over $100 per month ?

    How much you make has little to do with hosting and a lot to do with how you're marketing your product or service. I'm not familiar with the hosting you posted but serious marketers don't use free hosting because free stuff often changes or breaks down when you can least afford it to. Good luck.

    Free hosting does affect it because you don't have 100% control over the site and search engine deals it with differently because there are a base site it follows.

      So you're answering your own question. Don't use free hosting unless it's the only option you have. Go to a paid provider ASAP.

    My question was "How much do they earn?". I just want to test the waters of IM so I would appreciate if those question are answered because it does help the beginning steps.

      There are far too many variables to answer that accurately. The success of your site will be contingent on your offer, sales copy, affiliates etc.

      If you want to know the true answer to your question, the only way would be to test it yourself but it is definitely not something that I would be interested in as a vendor. And as a consumer I can tell you that I would be turned off by someone trying to sell me something when they're not even paying for their own domain.

        Exactly what I was thinking but if there was warriors in here that actually were successful doing it, I would want to know since I DO know that there are some who use this method though successful or not I don't know

    It has nothing to do with whether you have hosting or not. There are marketers who have made thousands per month with free websites. How do I know. From doing keyword research I have noticed tons of free domains at blogger and wordpress that are ranking for top search terms with huge amounts of traffic. The reality is there is no easy way of making money. You have to pick a direction and stick to it until you can create profit. Once you learn a method of making money you then find a way to scale it up.
