I’ve known about Weebly for a while. There was a time when I used free sites all the time. At the beginning of my wriitng and internet marketing career, I used them to help me learn the ropes. I also didn’t want to invest in domain names and hosting until business picked up.
I hardly made any money. I could chock that up to inexperience and I’d be right in a way. But after starting a few blogs and websites that have their own domains – I’ve finally learned that the biggest problem I had back then was lack of credibility. Automatically, when people saw that my domain was on a free site, I know I looked like an amateur.
Now I have several blogs with several blogs and websites in the works. Yes, I am making more money. But I also find that it pays for itself within the first month of the site being live. If I had thought about it in those terms when I first started, I may not have lasted for over a year
So, enter Weebly. I noticed that it was one of the top keywords searched for on Google for today so I thought I’d get an account going and tinker with it. I got as far as the log in and knew I couldn’t do it. I really believe that having sites with their own domains is the only way to go.
However, I do know that free blogs and websites can be valuable to help drive traffic to your existing websites. However, that particular strategy is not in my plan – I focus mainly on article marketing for traffic generation.
