Rachel asked:
Or do I need to pay for a more ‘professional’ blog domain?
Also: Is it worth it to be an affiliate marketer? How much could I earn with a free blog, working part-time on it, and not paying anything to increase my blog search rankings? Is running an affiliate marketing blog a worthwhile thing (financially) to do when I can only do it part-time – or is it something that needs a full time worker?
affiliate marketing
If you are just starting out and don’t have a budget to get a domain name and hosting then I would suggest doing a combination of building websites on places like wordpress.com and also submitting relevant articles on places like ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, and more. This should be a good start to help you learn more about internet marketing as it takes awhile to get used to all of the tips and tricks involved to make a large profit. I have personally known people who are making $100+ a day without having their own website which isn’t huge money but to many it is a great extra income.
Website content
Affiliate marketing has a lot to do with traffic and content,If there’s content and there’s traffic, you will likely make money. As long as you know how to go about using the free blog to present what the expected traffic desires.
Affiliate marketing is worthy venture and you can earn some good money working part time with a free blog, but you have to know what you are doing and be focused. A lot of people that are doing well today started with free blogs.
Check, you’ll get a lot of help there.
Goodluck.
